Mystery Cushion Club 2019
With Debbie’s twelfth Mystery Blanket Club now well underway, she is busy getting ready
to begin her ninth Mystery Cushion Club in June. Her brand new design for the Club will
offer knitters the chance to take part in another one of her unique knitting experiences.
There are just two-hundred and fifty memberships up for
grabs in the 2019 Mystery Cushion Club, so you’ll need to be
quick to sign up to it if you want to take part. Debbie’s Clubs are
always sold with limited memberships which not only makes
them exclusive to be part of, but it also makes her “Mystery”
designs very collectable.
“I am often asked why I make my Mystery Clubs limited edition
and the answer is simple. It gives those who sign up to the
Club an exclusive, one-off design which makes the project
much more special to be part of. And then when the project
has been launched and knitted up by the members, I archive it
and move onto the next design.
The exclusivity of the Clubs has made both the blanket and
cushion designs really collectable, with many of the early
designs being sought after by knitters keen to get their hands
on an untouched kit. There are still some around if you search
hard enough, however, as each new year begins the older
designs are becoming almost impossible to get hold of.”
The Mystery Cushion Club works in a similar way to Debbie’s
Mystery Blanket Club with one design being knitted up by
all of the members in monthly instalments. The knitting kit
and first set of patterns are sent to the members mid-June
and then monthly thereafter, concluding in October with the
final set of patterns and the much anticipated reveal of the
“mystery” theme.
Debbie is passionate about her Mystery Clubs and each year
she sets herself exciting new design challenges with different
combinations of stitch structures, colours and yarns in her
cushion and blanket projects. These accessories are the perfect
vehicle for Debbie to work on as she loves to experiment with
several different techniques in one project, offering the knitter
a unique and inspirational knitting adventure.
it shows off textured stitches really well too. I don’t like to give
too much away about my Mystery projects, however, what
I can say is that the colour palette for this design includes a
tantalising combination of biscuit and terracotta with deep
blackcurrant and bright turquoise. And there are of course lots
of lovely Debbie Abraham’s beads in it too, which give it an
added sparkle!”
If you have never joined Debbie’s Mystery Blanket Club before
but are curious about her Mystery Clubs, then the Mystery
Cushion is a great way to be introduced to her designs. It gives
knitters the opportunity to try out various knitting techniques,
encouraging them to push their own boundaries and try
something new within a small project which is both achievable
and enjoyable to do. Debbie writes a monthly blog and there
are plenty of handy tips and advice in her patterns to help you
if you get stuck. And Debbie and her team are always happy to
be contacted direct by email, phone or letter if any questions
arise during the project. So you are never on your own!
You can purchase a membership for Debbie’s 2019 Mystery
Cushion Club now in the online shop on her website: www.

packages to choose from, and you can join the Club wherever
