CLOSED: Autumn KAL

Even though we are in the midst of a sunny summer, as knitters we all know It's time to start preparing for the colder months!

Earlier this year the slow fashion knitting world started to speed up, patterns dropping every few days at an overwhelming rate and left me as a designer wondering why I felt the need to constantly bring out new patterns rather than celebrating my "old" designs.

This spurred me on to start the summer tops knit along which was just wonderful! All spring long I was cheered up being seeing lovely summer tops appearing on my social media feed, and lots of them in stash yarn too, we do love a bit of a stash busting right? Double sustainability points.

So I thought, why not continue the fun with an autumn knit along. This is a great opportunity to make new fibre friends and prepare your new autumn/winter wardrobe.

So you made it this far, I think that means you want to join?!

The details

The KAL will run until Sunday 18th December

The idea is to create a little community where we can share our knits, make some new fibre friends, have an excuse to buy more yarn, or use up some stash yarns.

Near the end of the KAL I'll be sending out a completion form, entering details of your finished piece(s) will bag you a single use 25% discount code for my patterns - so you can buy one or my entire back catalogue, up to you!

There may also be some prizes.. stay tuned!
