knit-a-long’s galore

With the huge success of sign ups for the knitting olympics (over 3000 members - and nicely organised into teams) and starting today - I thought I would explore the world of knit-a-longs. So many to choose from, scarfes, slippers, shawls, socks. There are so many reasons why these knit-a-longs are a wonderful idea - sharing your projects, helping with a difficult pattern, beginners and advanced alike can get help if they run into difficulty - what else? Why do you join craft or knit-a-longs?

Here is a list - by no means have I been able to list all knit-a-longs, if you have one I haven’t listed then feel free to leave a comment to let others know about it. There is a fantastic list of knit-a-longs listed here

    From one of the founders of Cover Your Head, thanks for the shout out! It’s an ongoing, no pressure knitalong, with many members who come and go as the hat knitting bug afflicts them. Hope we see some new members!

    Thanks for mentioning Project Spectrum! Just a note though: it is not JUST a knitalong - ALL crafts are encouraged. We have plenty of quilters, sewers, painters, paper artists, bakers (among many other crafters) that are also part of the group.

    Don’t be shy ;)
