Turkey Games

November 23, 2017 by Kirsten 2 Comments

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the US.

If you’re looking for a project to see you through the holiday crazies, Mary Lou Egan  created just the thing, the Joggle scarf, from Drop Dead Easy Knits.

The object with Joggle is to come up with a list of moments that you know you’ll encounter though the holiday season — things like Cousin Sam just told the same joke for the third year in a row, Aunt Rose engulfed someone in her big bear hug, your sister’s boyfriend loaded his plate with more than his share of pie…each family will have their own things. Then grab two different yarns and start knitting, as you encounter each item on your list, change yarns. One yarn is worked in seed stitch, the other is worked in garter stitch, so the knitting is easy and you can follow along with the conversation.

Mary Lou used Liberty Wool from Classic Elite Yarns, one solid and one print in colors that keep things interesting. The pattern also works well with worsted weight scraps from your stash.

So tuck a Joggle in a project bag and tote it along to all of your holiday gatherings. By the new year you should have a nice long scarf.

    Yay Joggle! I’m glad we had the kind of thanksgiving meal this year that didn’t need a knitting game to get through it… but there may be one coming along soon….

    I love this! But because I am one of the senior members of the family, I probably cause more of *those moments* than have to endure them.
