Soundtrack Sweater Knit A Long (KAL)

September 27 – November 31, 2021

Zoom Dates

Hello Lovely Knitters!

This must be the year of the Marie Green sweater, as we have chosen another for a Valley Yarn KAL! We are so excited you are joining us for the Soundtrack Sweater KAL! We think you will find the instructions clear and the design sweet, sweet, sweet! Jasmin and Debbie have made 2…each! This is definitely a first-time sweater knitter friendly pattern. If you can knit, purl, knit in the round, and you have knit a few accessories - you can knit this!

We will have some Zoom Knit Nights to answer your questions and share some tips and tricks as we work through the pattern. By the way you don’t have to be part of the KAL to join us for the Zoom Knit Nights. Everyone is welcome. The first part of each zoom knit night will have subjects that Jasmin and Debbie will discuss pertaining to the Soundtrack Sweater. We will open up the zoom floor so you can ask questions and have some time to visit with the other knitters.

Soundtrack Zoom times from 7-8pm on the following nights: (this pace will get you to the deadline for prizes).
