Fall 2025 Knitalong ~ Yarn + Design Deep Dive

Fall 2025 Knitalong ~ Yarn + Design Deep Dive

Thank you to everyone who watched my first knitalong (KAL) video - I’m excited!  If you missed that one, check it out here. Today, I’m sharing a new one where we take a closer look at how our yarns come to life and the amazing makers who create them. I’ll walk through each KAL design and what you can expect to learn - so many techniques and skills!

I also talk about how knitting together in community and prioritizing our own self care can benefit us all. From added creative freedom to being able to cope just a little bit better with any challenges or stresses we face in our own everyday lives, That impact is huge and it’s why I do what I do here at Knit Collage.

After the video, is a blog post detailing the fit, colorways and pricing of each KAL design. We’ve put together around 20+ stunning color options for each design! This is a great opportunity for you to check out the styles and ask questions early, before launch day on October 15th. You’ll see our new fall yarn colors available there too.

 

Keep in mind that I 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! Many past participants knit their very first sweater with us. The tutorials are a labor of love that I work so hard on - last season we had 149 videos in total across all the designs! When you join us for a knitalong, the videos are yours forever to come back to anytime. Designing, tech editing and testing each pattern takes a small village - especially the sweaters, most of which include 9 sizes. Along with the video courses, our expert coaches will be there to help you in the moment, when you need it - live on zoom or in the community space on our app! When you buy just one kit, you will have lifetime access to all 8 of the patterns and their relevant course videos.

 

You can view all the color options and detailed design photos here. You do not need to have a Dropbox account, nor do you need to join the folder to see the content. Fit, size and pricing details listed out below! If you would like to see exact yarn usage per size for each design, we have that listed on each design's Ravelry page, linked below.

 

Please keep in mind we have an alternate way to pay on the site, called Shop Pay. This option allows you to pay in 3-4 interest free installments rather than 100% all at once. There is no extra interest or cost, just an alternative way to pay that I use all the time too!

Knit using Spun Cloud, Wildflower Mini Skein Kit and Mini Skein Sampler Kit

This simple, top-down sweater vest is perfect for layering over your favorite dress or jeans! The pattern includes options for both a statement shawl collar or simple button band.

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.

 

The kits go live on Wednesday, October 15th 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!
