Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a Knit-along?
A: 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.
Q: Do I have to use the exact yarn or pattern specified in the knit-along?
A: No. We do have yarn kits available but you can join us with yarn from your stash if you prefer!
Q: What if I get stuck or make a mistake during the knit-along?
A: Don't panic! You can also consult our accompanying tutorials, or reach out to us for help or advice. You can do this in our Knithub, in our dedicated comment threads in our tutorials, or on our social channels.
Q: What is a mystery knit-along?
A: 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. Pop over to our blog to find out more about our Mystery knit-alongs and our tips for joining an MKAL.
