Hi there! I’m excited to share all of the styles, color, fit and pricing details for our upcoming make-along (MAL) with you today. In the video below I walk you through the yarn, how it is made, how and where I teach and style info for each of the 4 chosen MAL designs. There's a lot! After the video, I dive into fit, pricing and color details in the blog post below. If you like, you can peruse all the color options early too!

Remember I teach you everything you need to know to knit or crochet 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, 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 more that comes along with this MAL than just your yarn and a pattern. The tutorials are a labor of love that I work so hard on - we have over 90 videos in total across all the designs! They are yours forever to come back to anytime. Designing, tech editing and testing each pattern takes a small village - especially the sweaters which all include 9+ sizes. We also offer lots of opportunities for you to get help on zoom and within our FB community when 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....stay tuned!

 

You can view all the color options and detailed design photos here. Fit, size and pricing details listed out below!

 

Please keep in mind we have a different way to pay on my site, called Afterpay and Shop Pay. These options allow you to pay in 3 -4 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. 

 

Starfall Cardi

 

Meet the Starfall Cardi! A true statement piece, this design brings the art of crochet and simple garter stitch knitting together in a unique, bohemian way. The silhouette is free and easy to wear. The fringe is optional and totally up to you to decide if you'd like to add it. This design is all about inspiring you to dive deep into your creativity to create colorful granny squares that just feel like you! This design calls for our newest yarn, the Spun Cloud Light, it's skinnier and lighter than anything we've done before! If you are new to crochet, or knitting not to worry, we'll guide you in step by step videos and help sessions so you know exactly how to make this stunning design!

Inner Beauty Cardi 

The Inner Beauty Cardi combines texture and colors in a unique way and easy sweater silhouette! This design is worked from the top down using stranded colorwork with the floats on the outside of your work. From there, you transition into a fun-to-knit bubble stitch pattern. Lastly, you'll knit a simple shawl collar, shaped with short rows, to complete this cardigan for ultimate winter coziness. This is a fantastic project to learn colorwork or short rows for the first time. You'll mix our Spun Cloud yarn together with a Mini Skein Sampler Kit where you get to try out five of our yarns in one go! The best part is experimenting when color and yarn placement within the yoke.

Also like we offered in the spring, we'll be giving a way a few make-along 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 MALs we've donated around 20 kits!

 

Lastly, the virtual option will be $88. With this option you get all eight of these patterns, 5 teachable classes yours forever (Starfall Cardi, Wonderland Sweater, Inner Beauty Cardi, Gotta Be Hooded Scarf and the Kaleidoscope Cardi), bonus patterns, community via zoom, IG and FB and the mindfulness practices 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 making! 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 some of our yarns. Ask me anything via a new fun app I'm trying on Video Ask and I will respond privately and directly to you there. Click the link here to ask away! Join me on Instagram Saturday, Oct 8th at 3:30pm ET to go deep into each design. For all of these styles, just a basic knowledge of knitting and crochet is needed. I so hope you'll consider joining in! The kits go live on Wednesday 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. We have very little in our new Spun Cloud Light yarn. Then we get knitting and crocheting :) 

I CANNOT WAIT!

Biggest Hugs ~ Amy
