If you frequently find that you run out of steam before you finish your knits or you haven’t tried any new techniques in a while, then our KALs (knit-alongs) may be just the thing for you! The comradery of many knitters working on the same project together, encouraging each other along can be a huge help to get across that finish line
At its simplest, a knit-along (or KAL for short) is a group of knitters who work on the same project at the same time. Typically, a knit-along has a set start and end date, and participants follow a pattern or set of instructions provided.
Knit-alongs can take many forms, from local knitting groups who meet in person to online communities who connect through social media, forums or dedicated platforms. Some knit-alongs are organized around a specific theme or yarn, while others are more free-form and allow participants to choose their own projects within a broad category. Here we have 3 garment KALs a year and one Mystery KAL in February.
You can join our current KAL by buying the current KAL pattern above. The pattern is released as a series of clues that will be sent as pattern updates.

A mystery knit-along or MKAL is when a group of knitters come together and knit a pattern without knowing what the final finished object will look like. We run our mystery Knit-along annually in February.

These classes will be released at the same time as the pattern clues. You will also receive an invitation to the dedicated Knithub chat space for the KAL.
