Join me for the Knit Collage KAL!
My Next Make
You guys! One of my goals after closing YarnYAY! and no longer being burnt out from having 80-hour work weeks has been to find my way back to loving yarn-crafting again. Building the more inclusive and intimate experience of Stitchwell Social Club has been one way to do that. The other, though, is finally taking a moment to knit from someone else’s patterns, simply for pleasure. So, for the first time ever, I’m joining a KAL that’s not my own Amy Small is a longtime friend who’s been a guest on The Knit Show, has been part of two YarnYAY! boxes, and supplied me with yarn for two of my books and many other projects. I am a big fan of her company and love her as a person. All that to say, as of this morning, I’m part of the Knit Collage Spring KAL. Twenty years into being a professional knitter, I don’t get a lt of firsts, so I’m excited!
There were so many gorgeous projects to choose from, but I decided to go with the Every Day Yay Embroidered Cardi because A.) I love a multi-craft project and B.) between Austin weather and irregular, middle-aged lady body temperatures, I prefer garments I can layer. If those sound like practical reasons, you’re right. Not to worry, though, I evened that out by choosing a palette that’s anything but!
Join Me?
The other, never-before thing I’m doing is becoming a Knit Collage affiliate. Over the years, countless companies have asked if I was interested in their programs, but I was always busy collaborating with many brands, so it wouldn’t have made sense. Now, though, I figure, why not team up with a brand I’ve genuinely loved for almost a decade?
Technically, the KAL/CAL kit sales closed last month, but Amy graciously offered to keep them open through May 7th for my community only (literally, y’all are the only ones who will be able to get to the collection now.) If you’re interested in any of the thirteen project options to choose from, we can work on our projects together in the Knit Collage Community. No pressure, but if you’re interested, please use my link to purchase so you’re certain to have access. Thank you!
The KAL/CAL official start date is May 6th, so there’s still time to participate (even if you start a wee bit later, you’ll still have access to all of the classes that accompany each garment) to order your supplies and join us. I can hardly wait for my kit to come, and to KAL with you all!
xx,
Vickie
