Please note this is an in person KAL that will take place in our Charlottesville, VA shop.
The Patterns
In the dead of winter, there is no more comforting knit than a squishy warm cabled and textured sweater. Elise & Jessamy are excited to host another KAL focused on tackling what can be an intimidating, but very rewarding knit, in a group setting.
For this Knit Along we have created a curated list of patterns and yarns, but feel free to choose any all over cable or textured stitch pattern sweater that works for you.
(Please note these links will take you to the Ravelry Pattern page for each suggested pattern)

How does the KAL work?
KAL stands for knit along. In a KAL knitters typically knit the same or similar project. During the KAL, knitters get support to help navigate any tricky parts, learn a new skill, or trouble shoot along the way.
The KAL is not a typical class, but Jessamy and Elise have ample knitting experience and will be able to answer questions, or help with any issues that crop up. We also have a lot of fun and the meetings are quite social.
The cost of the KAL is a deposit that can be applied toward the purchase of yarn to be used for your Colorwork KAL project. If you chose to knit from stash or purchase your yarn elsewhere, your payment is considered a participation fee.
This KAL will run for six weeks, and while you do not need to come each week, we will have general topics regarding cabling to go over each week. We don't expect everyone to finish their sweater during the KAL, but we are hoping everyone has a good solid start and feels confident to finish at their own pace. We also strongly encourage you to come to our weekly Makers Circle
