Hi friends! I’m excited to share more style, color, fit and pricing details for our upcoming knitalong with you today.  In the video below I walk you through the yarn, how it is made, how and where I teach you (!!!) and style info for each of the 4 chosen KAL designs. There's a lot! After the video, I dive into fit, pricing and color details in the blog post below.

Remember we will teach you everything you need to know to knit your piece from start to finish in the video tutorials. If these styles feel complicated, not to worry, we got you!  If you stick to my rough schedule, which is totally achievable (big needles help!) you will complete your design in 6 weeks time or less. Many past participants knit their very first sweater with us. If these prices seem high to you, I’d like to reiterate that there is so much that comes along with this KAL than just your yarn and a pattern. The tutorials are a labor of love that myself and the whole team here, has tediously worked away on to make our best, most detailed videos to date. Designing, tech editing and testing each pattern takes a small village - especially the sweaters which all include 9 to 10 sizes. We also offer round the clock help just in case you need it. When you buy just one kit, you will have access to all 4 of the patterns and their relevant course videos, plus the bonus patterns (see below!) I decided to throw in just for fun, since so many of you wanted them. 

Ok, let’s hop to it. Please keep in mind that we have a newish way to pay on my site, called Afterpay. It allows you to pay in 3 interest free increments rather than 100% all at once. There is no extra interest or cost, just an alternative way to pay. I discovered this to be very helpful as a payment method on some of my favorite sites. 

Lastly, like in the fall we'll be giving a way a few knitalong scholarships to those that are just unable to join in. You can email us at anytime (hello@knitcollage.com) to put your name on that list. If you wish to donate a kit to someone who wants to join in but can't, we'll have a way to do that too. We'll match any gift that is given so that your donation goes twice as far. Recipients are chosen at random. 

Plaid Party Cardi

The Plaid Party Cardi is all about a bohemian twist on a traditional plaid pattern. beautiful design that allows 2 or more yarns to be knit together in a plaid-like pattern.

Have fun with this one and watch how easy it is to create your own completely unique plaid fabric!  This cardi is worked seamlessly from the bottom up with set-in sleeves and I-cord or ribbed front edges.

Plaid will come to life before your eyes while working this simple, yet intricate looking pattern. In this scarf, a combination of reverse stockinette and slipped stitches along with multiple colors create a plaid pattern on the right side and a striped pattern on the wrong side.

Once you get through a repeat of the pattern, it will become addictive and hard to put down.

That is all she wrote friends! Please reach out with any questions at all and let me know in the comments below what you're thinking of knitting! We are able to do custom color kits for you if you like - although they will have to be placed on the phone to ensure we have the colors and inventory you would like. We are available for any fit, yarn questions too (join me on Instagram live at 1pm on Saturday, Oct 10th- I'll answer them!). For all of these styles, just a basic knowledge of knitting is needed: how to knit, purl, cast on and cast off. I so hope you'll consider joining in! The kits go live at 10am on Wednesday October 14th at 10 EST and will be available for one week only. Last time we sold out of a few colors within hours, so I encourage you to decide early. Then we get knitting :) 

I CANNOT WAIT! Biggest Hugs ~ Amy
