Fall 2026 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.
In this next video, we're taking a closer look at how our yarns come to life and the incredible makers who create them. I'll also walk you through each of our fall KAL designs, the yarns we've chosen for them, and all the little details. And of course, you're always welcome to use yarn from your own stash too!
I share a little about why knitting together in community means so much to me. I so deeply believe that making time to create, slow down, and do something just for ourselves has a ripple effect on the rest of our lives. It helps us feel more like ourselves and helps us show up just a little bit better for those close to us. That’s the magic that comes from knitting and it’s the absolute best thing to see this click into place within knitters. It’s why we do what we do here.
Along with the video, I've put together a blog post with all the details on each design, including fit, pricing, and 20+ beautiful color options for each one! It's the perfect place to explore, dream up your project, and ask any questions before we open registration on October 21st.
Keep in mind that we have tons of support baked into our knitalongs. If these styles feel complicated, not to worry, we got you! Many past participants knit their very first sweater with us. When you join us for a knitalong, our Knit Collage coaches, including myself as well as the entire community will be there to help guide you and cheer you on! Designing, tech editing and testing each pattern takes a small village - especially the sweaters, most of which include 9 sizes. When you buy just one kit, you will have lifetime access to all 7 of the patterns. For the first time ever, you can also join us by buying just one pattern PDF too!
You can view all the color options 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 and additional photos for each design, we have that listed on each design's Ravelry page, linked below.

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 21st at 10am ET. Last time we sold out of many colors within hours, so I encourage you to use this post to help you decide early. Then we get knitting :)
I CANNOT WAIT!
