I'm so sorry that the coupon expired on 1/29. I went to Etsy and extended it, so it's good through 2/7! Use VALKAL2020 to get 25% off any of Wylde & Plumb's knit or crochet patterns on Etsy. (If you see a pattern here on the website that isn't listed on Etsy just give me a holler and I'll list it for you!) Here's the link if you want to jump on over there! https://www.etsy.com/shop/WyldeandPlumb?coupon=VALKAL2020
Thanks for the discount! But I can’t get it to work?! It says it’s invalid?
Almost forgot! I meant to give you all a coupon code for 25% off any Wylde & Plumb pattern that's in our Etsy store. Code is VALKAL2020, and it's good though January 29.

Sorry I forgot to give that out sooner! Thanks again for participating!
AND THE FINAL WINNER IS...
Pam (mentortchr)!!!
Congratulations, and please choose any pattern you'd like from the KNIT Patterns or CROCHET Pattern pages in the menu above.
Again, I'm so sorry to be late on this announcement. I made dinner for the family, ate dinner, cleaned up from dinner, then flopped down in my chair and started working on another washcloth and completely forgot to come back to my computer last night.
I had so much fun with you all, and I'll look forward to future KALs and CALs! If you're able, I hope you'll join in with the Speed VAL-CAL on February 1st (see a post about it back on the Project-A-Longs page), and I'm looking at more later in February. Feel free to make suggestions if you see a pattern you'd like to do a KAL or CAL for! Enjoy the rest of your January!
I'm so sorry I didn't do the winner last night! And I'm away from my computer until this afternoon, but I'll do the drawing and announcement as soon as I'm home today! Big apologies for my mistake, all! 😬😥
Love the yarn in that washcloth. Great choice!
I made a Ravelry page and posted on Instagram and Facebook. I also made a Linen Stitch Washcloth! I made a Ravelry page for it.
MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 2020: LAST DAY of KAL!
Good morning, all!
I love seeing your finished bags. Today I'll give an entry into the final day's prize drawing for everyone who has a finished bag (a picture on any day is okay, it doesn't have to be today), for anyone who makes a Project Page on Ravelry (I see Carla and mentortchr already did one-- thanks!), and anyone who shows me a screenshot or link to where you talked about the KAL and/or Wylde & Plumb on your own social media (one entry per person, even if you do it multiple places-- I appreciate the marketing help, but I can't keep up with too many links and photos!). I'll announce the winner this evening, after 5:00 (so get your entries in by 5:00 to make sure you don't miss out!).
This has been a fun week! I think we'll go ahead and do the Filet Crochet Tea Bag Bag as a speed CAL on February 1, so go comment on that post if you haven't yet and you want to join. Looking forward to more projects together!
I love you bag! The beads are so cute!
Well done! Love the beads!
I posted this earlier today. I don’t
see it so I’m reposting. Apologies if it turns out to be duplicated.
Never mind! I see the sideways pic.
put up a picture and it went sideways again,. I tried to edit it and now I can’t find it. Can anyone see my yellow finished
I would like the pattern for the Fingertipless gloves. Thank you!
@nicoleb I might've figured out what was happening with your pictures posting separately from your text! I just wrote the prize announcement for today, then tried to attach a picture at the end. When the picture attached it totally deleted all the text I wrote! Next time I'm going to try adding the photo first, then writing the text.
WINNER for SATURDAY, JANUARY 25 is...
Carla again!
It looks like only two people posted their finished bags yesterday (mentortchr, I hope you feel better and can finish today!) so I had my daughter choose right hand or left hand, with a name in each of my hands. Carla won!
Today's prize is a pattern, so Carla please see if there are any knit or crochet patterns you would like.
Today is also a break day, but tomorrow I'll just ask for folks to post about the KAL on social media (and provide a screenshot here) and/or make a Ravelry project page (I still have to put the pattern on Rav-- will do that today!). Even if you didn't finish, you can still post about what you did, and it will count! We'll even count photos of Linen Stitch Washcloths and/or shout-outs inviting friends to Like Wylde & Plumb on Facebook and/or join here at the website. Thanks so much! Have a great Sunday!
Got up Saturday morning with great intentions. Then, WHAM! Migraine that put me down for most of the day. My plan is to spend this afternoon (Sunday) stitching together. Hopefully, I’ll be caught up tonight.
I finished my bag. I made it Sugar and Cream yarn with size 9 needles. The finished size is 4 1/2 by 5 3/4 inches.
We are at a funeral now, on the way to the cemetery. I posted that far away pic of the ‘back’ because it looks like a 5 year old did it. I’m mortified by it. Please do not look closely.That stitch is not my friend🙄
