It started a few days ago, but the Summer Sweater Knitalong at Very Shannon still has a long way to go if you want to jump in and stitch a sweater this season.
The knitalong kicked off July 31 and runs through Step. 10. Its aim is to get knitters to make sweaters, whether that be a sweater you can wear while it’s still warm or something to help you transition into cooler weather.
You can even work on a sweater you’ve already started, and you don’t technically have to finish your sweater by the deadline to be eligible for prizes.
Wait, prizes? Yup. She’s got some great sponsors, including Brooklyn Tweed, Fringe Supply, Pompom magazine and We Are Knitters, among others, who will be doling out goodies to participants.
This is a super fun way to get a jump on fall knitting or to make that sweater you’ve always been too intimidated to take on.
Are you taking part in the knitalong? I’d love to know what you’re making!
