Hi there! 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 8 weeks time or less. Many past participants knit their very first sweater with us. If these prices seem high to you, please remember 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 (and they're so helpful for new knitters and experienced ones - think steeking!). 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 may even have a surprise bonus pattern and event up my sleeve....!

Please keep in mind that we have a different 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. 

Magic Mountain Cardi

Meet the Magic Mountain Cardi! A top down, circular yoke cardigan that mixes up all the color with stranded colorwork motifs throughout.

Lastly, like in the spring 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, no questions asked. 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 completely at random - in previous KALs we've donated 14 kits!

Lastly the virtual option will be $88. With this option you get all eight of these patterns, 4 teachable classes yours forever (Magic Mountain Cardi, Express Yourself Sweater, Loop It Up Cardi and Shake Your Groove Thing Poncho), zoom help sessions whenever you need it, community via zoom, IG and FB and the mindfulness which will include all levels restorative yoga and a few fun special events!

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 as we are low on many yarns. We are available for any fit, yarn questions too (join me on Instagram live at 11am ET on Saturday, October 9th- 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 on Tuesday October 12th at 10am ET and will be available for one week only. Last time we sold out of many colors within hours, so I encourage you to use this post to help decide early. Then we get knitting :) 

I CANNOT WAIT!
