Just be sure you have all your yarn ready by the time the first clue is released. And remember that there are dye lots for the Waverly yarn, so you should get all the skeins you will need for each color when you place an order.

I believe the clues will be posted in the Bernat Blog, and a link will be posted here in our new Bernat Forum. Jen and Kaleigh will let us know for sure.

The clues will be posted here on the Forums, KAL under this category and CAL under its own, when they are released. We'll also be posting links to all the corresponding video tutorials, so everything you need will be right here!

As for buying the yarn, if you'd like to buy it in stages I would suggest one shade at a time. That way, like Shandeh advised, you'll be able to ensure that every shade is in the proper dyelot.

I am having to space my purchases out and am hoping a local store will have all the shades I am wanting. My game plan is to purchase one shade a week. I have at least 5 - 6 weeks to buy the yarns. I found the colors I want on the color tutorial. When I saw the color combination I knew it would be beautiful in my parents' home so I want to make this as a gift for them.

I just got back from Michael's where the yarn was on sale for 2/$6 plus I had a 20% coupon - you might get one off Michaels.com. This saved a lot of money. :P

Joann Fabrics online had the yarn for $2.79! Can't wait to see this afghan. I am an experienced knitter, and am looking for something new! :D

Started to order this morning from Jo Ann's because of the good price....sale went off Sat ! Hope they will run it again soon. If anyone finds great price elsewhere would love to hear about it.

I am excited to begin! I am a life long crocheter and have tried knitting several times with little success. I am excited that there will be tutorials so that I can go back and watch them repeatedly to figure this out. I am so excited! Thanks for having these KAL and CALs.....
