Are some of these questions percolating in your mind? Let me answer some of the most common questions I’ve been getting the for the past few days….

What if I don’t finish in time?

The idea is for us to make as a community over the span of six weeks, beginning November 4th. If you can commit to knitting and crocheting each day and you stick to the schedules I’ve created for each design, then you’ll have a finished object to cherish by mid December! Life events can sometimes get in the way despite our best laid plans. All 8 fall knitalong designs come with their own video course, where I break down each step of the patterns into short video classes. These video courses are yours forever. Refer to them anytime you want or need to. Our team is happy to help if you need further support and tech help beyond the six weeks of the knitalong too. We measure ourselves through your success and your results!

What if I am a beginner knitter/crocheter?

If you are a beginner, then this knitalong experience was made for you! When you’re just starting out with any type of new hobby that you hope to learn, that’s when you need the most support and help. The video classes, live zoom sessions with our coaches as well as the community will be there to help you at every step. Included with the knitalong, you will also receive a Knitting 101 and Crochet 101 course.

What if the colorway I really wanted is out of stock?

If this happened to you, so sorry! It’s impossible to predict 6 months in advance which yarns will be the most popular, despite my best attempts. Our yarns are handmade in India which is part of why we have such long lead times - each skein is a labor of love! If you missed out on the colorway you wanted, I invite you to work with our customer support team member Amy Mac, to come up with a custom colorway that speaks to you. Feel free to email her at hello@knitcollage.com or call her anytime here 401-232-4522 to get help with this.

What if I already have the yarn or live too far to ship?

The virtual experience (here) is a great option for anyone who wants to participate in the knitalong who already has yarn, wants to source yarn locally, or lives far away. Enrolling with the virtual option will give you access to all 8 knitalong patterns and their step-by-step video courses, entry into our brand new app for all the community, admission to join our knitting and crochet coaches live on zooms, approximately every other day, for the duration of the KAL, and more. Basically everything but the yarn! We do ship worldwide and our website will calculate duties and taxes for you, however if shipping is cost prohibitive, the virtual option is a great way to participate!

Where do I access the video tutorials?

As soon as you sign up for the knitalong either with a yarn kit or the virtual option, you will be sent an invitation to join our Knit Collage app. Once you create your app account with the email address you used when you made your KAL purchase, you will find all of the spaces related to our KAL inside the app! On November 4th, our kick off/cast on day, you will see the video tutorials pop up in the Patterns + Video Courses section of the app. You will have lifetime access to the video courses through the app.

What if I’d rather knit alone?

Ok…I completely understand this as an introvert. I really cherish my solo time knitting HOWEVER, I have never felt so seen and appreciated for who I really am (rainbow loving, crazy sweater knitting etc.) than I have when I started being a part of our creative community. I don’t have a community of makers around me and I’m so busy with the business and my family that an online community just fits my life better. Of course, you can simply opt out of the community too, its totally your call.

The final day to join us is Tuesday, October 22nd so time is ticking before we really kick this party off and start knitting!

If learning to knit or crochet and actually finish projects you love is a dream of yours, it’s time to reach up and grab it. Our community as well as the Knit Collage team are ready to teach and embrace you with open arms!
