"As a BiCrafty fiber artist, the guided video lessons are invaluable to me as I continue to expand my knowledge and experience in knitting, crochet."
I truly loved participating in the 2021 & 2022 & 2023 & 24 Turkey Trots! The Silver Platter experience is such a great value Give me all the fixin's, please! This is one holiday meal that I don't want to miss!


"Marly’s knit and crochet alongs are ALWAYS
empowering and packed full of new experiences.
I can't wait for this one."
Every step of the way, there are videos to help with any tricky bits to the pattern. It is clear countless hours are spent developing a whole package that goes far beyond a simple pattern or video tutorial.
Marly Bird and Robyn Chachula have joined to create “the gold standard” with knit, crochet, AND Tunisian crochet projects. Together, they can’t be beaten!
The “Silver Platter” experience for 2023 Turkey Trot event was worth every penny. This one is too!
"I always love Marly’s Turkey Trot (and every other event for that matter). She is always encouraging, helpful, and supportive to the participants."
Marly and her team will do everything they can to help people succeed with the patterns and events. I have no doubt the "Silver Platter" Experience will be great!
P.S. My crochet Turkey Trot 2019 is always a big hit. I love getting it out every fall and get compliments every time I wear it. I have made at least 5 since then for various family and friends. You can’t go wrong with a Marly Bird pattern or event!

Turkey Trot Mystery Make-Along with Marly Bird 2025 is a super fun online event held over the US Thanksgiving weekend for BOTH knitters and crocheters.
This event has historically been a free event, and this year it is as well, however we are introducing a new upgrade for this mystery make-along. The Silver Platter Experience is a low cost VIP package that includes options for our knitters, crocheters and BiCrafty friends.

It's a cozy gathering of knitters and crocheters, all working on similar projects at the same time. This year, we're thrilled to present a choice between a knit and a crochet pattern.
Both patterns will create beautiful accessories, and with the VIP you can make a larger cardigan or ruana, perfect for the sweater weather season. Choose one or challenge yourself with both, and let's create something beautiful together!

What Are We Making for Turkey Trot 2025? For the third time in 7 year,s we ARE NOT KEEPING IT A MYSTERY! As you know we are making a hat, a cowl, gloves, cardigan and a ruana for ourselves. The project depends on which VIP you get!
Every year we are very conscientious of the skill level needed for our projects. As we go through the design process we make sure that the projects are achievable by any advanced beginner/intermediate knitter or crocheter.
We make sure you get all the information you need to have guaranteed success!

Yes! There are full CC videos for each part of the project. These videos will be permanently linked in the Silver Platter Experience and are available without ads (through a site named vimeo)!
The free version of this event includes videos available on the MarlyBird.com and then permanently added to the Marly Bird YouTube Channel.

Of Course! During the event there are threads opened up every day inside the Marly’s Minions BiCrafty Community Facebook Group for each craft.
You can ask questions, post progress pictures, and give encouragement in these threads. Make sure you post in the specific Craft and Clue you are working on!

Schedule of clues for the Turkey Trot 2025
Every other day I will send a link to each section of the pattern to your inbox and I will post it in the original blog post announcement. Silver Platter members will have the full ad-free pdf pattern available for download the first day of the event along with all the accompanying video support.
✨ Thursday, Nov. 27th @ 7 pm ET
✨ Friday, Nov. 28th @ 10 am ET
✨ Saturday, Nov. 29th @ 10 am ET
✨ Sunday, Nov. 30th @ 10 am ET
✨ Monday, Dec. 1st @ 10 am ET

Oh yes, there will be prizes!!! After the final lesson is released (12/1/25) you will then have a week to complete your project.
Any finished project image that is posted on the special thread in the Marly's Minions Facebook group will be entered for a chance to win... Yes, you can post on instagram as well but you MUST use the hashtag! #MarlyBirdTurkeyTrot2025 or #TukeyTrot2025
Criteria for chance to win:
You must have a finished project by 11:59pm ET DECEMBER 8, 2025!
Photo of your finished project must be posted in the Marly's Minions group in the photo thread (if you post your photo anywhere else it will not be an entry to win) ETA: you can post on instagram as well but you MUST use the hashtag!
There is 1 prize for every 50 entries. What does that mean? If 100 people enter photos on the special thread, we will give away two prizes. If 500 people enter photos of their finished project on the special thread we will give out 10 prizes!!! There will be a max giveaway of 20 total prizes.
All the winners will be randomly selected and the winners will be announced on Dec. 10th on the Marly's Minions FB Group.

Once you secure your VIP upgrade, it will become a permanent feature in your Marly Bird House account, ready for unlimited access whenever you wish. However, the availability to purchase this offer is not eternal. Much like the Thanksgiving leftovers, this special promotion will eventually draw to a close, reemerging occasionally.
But remember, the price will never be as enticingly low as it is in this moment. Secure your VIP pass now and ensure your spot in this crafting circle of friends!
Oh Bestie, I totally get that — the holidays are bananas! 🍌🦃
But here’s the best part: you don’t have to finish during Thanksgiving to join in the fun.
The Turkey Trot is all about stress-free stitching — you can follow along live or save everything to work on later. Every pattern, video, and bonus is waiting for you inside the Marly Bird House with unlimited access (because I know life happens between bites of pie 🥧).
So even if your needles or hook don’t move until December (or, let’s be honest, January 😅), you’ll still have everything you need — clear instructions, videos, and a cheering section full of Marly’s Minions.
In short?
✨ No deadlines.
✨ No pressure.
✨ Just cozy projects and good company when you have the time.
If you are not 100% satisfied for any reason within 2 days of purchase, we will issue you a refund.
