Second - and this is a great way to get quick support - post your question on Facebook in the Lounge or in the Knit Camp App (if you're a member). Please remember: Do not post photos of pattern instructions online.

Last but not least, remember: knitting is fun! The real challenge of the 4 Day KAL is to make it to the finish line faster than you thought you could (whatever that is for you), and to enjoy the journey. Marie says, 'This is a positive space for encouragement, high fives, and kudos. Remember to bring your best self and others will do the same. If you're frustrated with your progress, take a deep breath. Do a little dance. Take a break and come back with fresh eyes. Remember: it's only knitting. We're all in this together!'
Thank you for your support and participation in the KAL this year (and over the 6 years of the 4 Day KALS!) --we love this sweater and we think you will, too!
“The purpose of the knitalong is to have fun, make some new friends and knit a sweater faster than you thought you could. That’s it. Whether it takes you 4 days, 4 weeks or 4 months (hopefully not 4 years), the goal is to keep going and have loads of friends to cheer you on along the way. This knitalong is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced, and you’re going to love the support, encouragement and friendship along the way.”
