Summer KAL 2023



May 28 - July 23

Join us for this coming season's Annual Summer KAL! With a return to in-person knitalongs, larger gatherings, and warmer weather, we are REALLY looking forward to this knitalong! 

 We've created a Ravelry bundle  full of new spring/summer patterns*, with yarn suggestions you can find in the shop. We encourage you to choose a pattern and try one of our beautiful summer yarns made with cotton, linen, bamboo, but you can also make a lighter weight summer top using lace or fingering weight wool. We'll be adding to our bundle as more summer patterns are introduced, but if you prefer to knit a classic tried and true pattern, be sure to check out our Best of Summer KALS bundle, and of course you can choose your own pattern, even a shawl if you prefer, as long as it's a minimum of 800yards. 

*Please read through your pattern carefully before casting on. You should be able to understand your pattern and be able to do the skills required on your own. If you need help with your pattern you can book a Private Lesson (Saturdays) for $30 per hour. 

Here's our Top Picks to cast on

Elton Pullover by Joji Locatelli
KAL REQUIREMENTS
You must purchase your yarn for the knit-along after April 29th 2023, or during the knit-along until the deadline date, in order to qualify for the prize draw. You must purchase a minimum of 800 yards for your project. If your project does not meet the required yardage, you can still join the meetings, but you won’t be able to enter the draw. If you finish your project by the deadline date, your name will enter a draw to win a $60 Handknit Yarn Studio Gift Card! (one entry per qualifying finished project)

If you need some inspiration, take a look at our Ravelry Bundle!
