The Fall Knitalong ~ Learn, Grow and Make Art Together!

posted by: Amy Small in daisy chain, knitalong, sweaters & tops patterns

The Fall Knitalong is almost here and in today's video I'm excited to share what these knitalongs are all about. I dive deep into my big why behind my business and these community making events. It's not just about the yarn or the knitting. They are tools we can use to come back to our authentic creative selves. Beyond that, leaning into knitting, and crochet helps us feel more relaxed, peaceful and confident too...and the list goes on! Our knitalongs are all about helping you develop a consistent making practice so that you feel these life changing benefits.Think in depth tutorials that match the exact pattern you’re making and in the moment expert coaching to help if you make a mistake. This experience works so well that we keep doing it over and over again – twice a year and now we are somehow on number 16!

Learn more in the video below:

For the first time ever, well be hosting this KAL on our brand new app so you’ll have the opportunity to become a founding member. This is going to be a complete game changer for the user experience and it won’t be open to the public until 2025!

 

In the next video coming out on Thursday, I’ll go into all the fun, creative details of each of our four designs plus share more about our unique yarns – how they are made and by whom. Along with that video, will be a detailed blog post where I’ll share exact size, color and pricing details.

 

If you're up for sharing, I'd love to know what aspects of your knitting journey you most want to improve. Is it learning new techniques, finding more time to knit, or connecting with a supportive community? Whatever it is, take a moment to reflect on this. I invite you to leave a comment below where you share these insights. Is it the idea of mastering new skills, the prospect of finding a stress-relieving hobby, or the opportunity to connect with fellow knitters? Let’s hear it!

 

AND If you are a beginner knitter or crocheter, this is for you. Our team plus the video tutorials are there to guide and support you. When you're starting out, you need the most help and support - that's what our KALs are all about!

 

Thank you ~ Amy

Knitalong Wrap Up - Dash Shawl!

Here we are, all the way at the end of our shawl knitalong. It's been so much fun diving into a new color than the one I already knit, making new video content for you and of course seeing your shawls come to life. They are STUNNING!

 

I put the final touches on my shawl today and adore it. I opted for Dusty Pink Sister yarn and Golden White Pixie Dust. I went with the exact same lacing as my first shawl, a little boring but after experimenting I figured out that I just liked that best. I am excited to show this baby off today on my daily stroll to my regular coffee shop. Below I've highlighted the shawl pics I've seen on instagram that you've shared with #knitcollageKAL. I also started our very own pinterest board where I'll continue to add photos of the finished shawls as I see them.

 

Thank you so much to all of you who participated! I loved hosting this and hope to make the next one we do, even better, so if you have any feedback, please let me know. I'm all ears! I hope the photos of each other's work inspires you. My favorite part of a knitalong is always connecting with you and seeing you happy with your finished piece. It has been an honor. Let's keep making!

 

Ok, to start,here's me and my finished shawl, I'm loving it and already wore it all day yesterday.  Take a look at all the beautiful shawls knit by our community below. Definitely visit the Pinterest board to see them all!

Holy cow ~ Anne @ Flax&Twine's stunning shawl - I just about died when I saw this!

@lifeinwool stunning finished shawl in Rich Eggplant Sister yarn and India Henna Pixie Dust - soooo glad I got to see this combo come to life! Head to the pinterest board to see her in progress shots. These came out so beautifully and reminded me how much fun the process can be!

Stephanie from All About Ami's shawl - wow, right?! I loved seeing this color combination come to life as well. 

@merryberryco work in progress - how about that mug though?! 

@pvdplaats Soft Ivory version coming together! Can't wait to see it all finished up. 

 

Thank you all so much for participating! I hope to add to this post as you wrap up knitting these :) The winner of any 2 skeins is Deborah of @lifeinwool for her gorgeous photos all throughout the process! Loved seeing these pop up on IG this last month Deborah!

Big hugs and so much love, Amy @ Knit Collage

Pillow knitalong wrap up!

posted by: Amy Small in home patterns, knitalong, pixie dust yarn, sister yarn

Here we are, all the way at the end of our little pillow knitalong! I had so much fun knitting this pillow with you and delving into more videos. I put the final touches on my pillow last weekend. In the end I opted for 4 pom poms in camel, mainly because I want it to match the other pillow I knit up. The multicolor pom poms seemed a little too busy! As a set, I think they'll look great in my living room or at the next yarn tradeshow I'm attending in June. Below I've highlighted the pillow pics I've seen on instagram that you've shared with #knitcollageKAL. I also started our very own pinterest board where I'll continue to add photos of the finished pillows as I see them. Thank you so much to all of you who participated! I loved hosting this and hope to make the next one we do, even better, so if you have any feedback, please let me know. I'm all ears! I hope the photos of each other's work inspires you. My favorite part of a knitalong is always connecting with you and seeing you happy with your finished piece. It has been an honor. Let's keep making!

Ok, to start,here's me and my finished pillow, being my silly self. 

Next up is  Sierra of Knitting Wonder's gorgeous pillow - holy cow that's a stunning photo, right?! She did hers in the sample color combination: Snowflake and Granola Girl Pixie Dust with Camel Sister. 

These make me so happy, love both variations so much! By @kristebee She did the sample color and then another one, the same as the other but with a bright Robins Egg Blue back/pom poms. I love the 2 variations she did for these! Such a pretty set.

@leahjillt knits are always jaw dropping! I love her color choice here. I was hoping someone would knit this one up, it's so rich and the tassels are a ton of fun!

@tangledhandknits pillow in the works, loving it so far!

@gaffneyanna your big happy smile is just the best! Love your pillow too :)

Thank you all so much for participating! I hope to add to this post as you wrap up knitting these :) I'm going to announce the prize winner in a few weeks time when I hope we get a few more finished projects completed. 

Big hugs and so much love, Amy @ Knit Collage
