Yarn Quest 2017 - The Grand Quest Blanket MKAL is included in the Yarnia - The Grand Quest Compilation eBook. For those of you just wanting the core scarf quests (Heroes, Campaign 2, Campaign 3) there will be an eBook released for just those with the release of the second Core Campaign MKAL.

This is not considered to be a part of the core storyline of the Yarn Quest MKAL’s and instead a separate story from the main quests. You will be rolling a completely new character for this campaign. Instructions and character sheet will be included.

Introduction

This adventurous double knitting pattern is designed as a series double knit squares that are seamed together to create a fantastical blanket! This quest will play out in a 20 week campaign following your character’s adventures through the land of Yarnia. In addition to the document outlining the basics of the MKAL you fill find Character Sheets for both you and a Feline Companion, instructions for filling in your sheets, and the basic cast on instructions.

Yarn
Pattern will use 4000 yards of worsted weight total. Blanket will be knit in 20 blocks of 100 yards of each color (200 yards total), so yarn colors can be mix and matched over time making this blanket a fantastic stashbuster. There will be additional instructions at the end of the MKAL to make the blanket larger if desired.
You will need additional yarn to seam blanket together at the end of the project.
Clues will be released once every 2 weeks and include both story and any new charts.

Materials –
4000 yards of yarn - reminder that each clue is 200 yards, 100 yards of each color
Additional yarn for sewing squares together
Character Sheets
20 safety pins and tags (for labeling which clue is which)
Printed labels for each clue

Special Equipment
If you don’t have a set already, I highly recommend getting a set of 7 D20 gaming dice (D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20). They can be found at your local game store (Games by James, etc) or through Amazon - Make sure you pick a set like this one~ (with the 7 different dice, pick whatever colors you like best!).
If you don’t want to pick up a set of dice, sites like Random.org or random number generators will also work. There’s probably an app out there for dice rolls, because there’s usually apps for everything.

Final Info
This is an intermediate level project, previous experience with chart reading is recommended.

Please avoid posting spoilers in the form of progress photos as the first photo on your project page :3

Additional instructions for extra squares will be included at the end fo the MKAL.
