KAL: PAINTING WITH YARN-The importance of value in Stranded Knitting

We’re so excited to invite you to our upcoming Knit-Along (KAL) for the “Painting with Yarn” project! The design, THE GLITCH SWEATER, has been an incredible journey to create, with its focus on mastering the art of stranded knitting and understanding the magic of color value. It’s a project that challenges your creativity while teaching you skills to make your knitting truly stand out.

This KAL is more than just a knitting project—it’s a chance to connect with other makers, explore new techniques, and watch your ideas come to life. From learning how to balance light and dark tones to perfecting your colorwork, we’ll be with you every step of the way.

The KAL begins 4th of February, and we can’t wait to see what you create! Grab your “Painting with Yarn” pattern or bundel, choose your favorite yarns, and join us for this creative journey.

Thank you for being part of our knitting community—let’s make something beautiful together!
