Knit a Great Lacy Cardigan with this Fun Knitalong

Knitwear designer Kate Barrios has launched a knitalong for her latest design, the Cerezo en Flor cardigan, which will take place over eight weeks beginning next month.

The pattern is a lacy cardigan made with The Fibre Co. yarn. It’s worked flat from the bottom up in pieces and has a loose, flowing kimono-like design with a lace pattern inspired by cherry blossoms. Kate says the pattern is great for intermediate knitters.

There are discounts on the pattern before the knitalong starts on May 6 (get the details on her website) and the knitalong will run through June 30, with weekly prizes from indie designers and a few great grand prizes (a Bluprint knitting box, a sock set from Crafty Jak’s, and a hank of The Fibre Co.’s Terra yarn with a mitten pattern).

Check out the knitalong page for all the details on the yarn used for the original, kits made especially for the knitalong and how to take part. The event will be hosted on her Facebook page and will include live streams weekly for learning and talking about the pattern.

This sounds like a great event and a fun way to get a sweater that will be great for spring and summer!

One of my missions as a crafter is to encourage people to use what they have to make something great. Accumulating stash is fun, but at some point you realize that you have more than you can ever use, and that can be really overwhelming.

A couple of years ago I wrote a book called How to Declutter Your Craft Supplies, which is all about why it’s so hard to let go of stash and how to deal with it. This is something I still struggle with and I’m in the midst of cleaning out my office/studio yet again (seriously, how can I still have so much stuff when I’m not buying anything new?).

If you’re gearing up for spring cleaning (or fall cleaning!) you need to check out the Get Organized Toolkit, of which my book is a part. This collection of more than 60 ebooks, courses, guides and printables will help you organize your home, business, mind and life.

There are so many great products here, from decluttering guides to advice on how to organize your book collection, cleaning up your iPhone and dealing with mental clutter. You’ll learn all about minimalism, get a planner to help you stay on top of home maintenance and learn how to build a capsule wardrobe, among other things. It’s a great way to get a lot of helpful advice all at once to help you lead a more organized and peaceful life.

The bundle is on sale through March 29. You can read more about it on my blog or go here to buy. And if you have specific questions about decluttering craft supplies or using your stash I would love to hear them!
