Soundtrack/Soundbite Sweater
Fall Knit a Long (KAL)
October 25 - December 20, 2021
Hello Lovely Knitters!
This must be the year of the Marie Green sweater, as we have chosen another for our next Valley Yarn KAL! We are hoping that you can join us for the fall Soundtrack Sweater KAL! We think you will find the instructions clear and the design sweet, sweet, sweet! Jasmin and Debbie have already made 2……each! This is definitely a first time sweater knitter pattern. If you can knit, purl, knit in the round, and you have knit a few accessories - you can knit this! The sweater is knit in DK weight yarn and is top down and in the round – no seams!
We will have Zoom Knit Nights to answer your questions and share some tips and tricks as we work through the sweater. You don’t have to be part of the KAL to join us, everyone is welcome. The first part of each knit night will be discussion 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. If you are unable to make it to the “live” zoom nights, we will record them for you to review for a week or two.
Soundtrack Zoom times from 7-8pm on the following nights: (this pace will get you to the deadline for prizes).
