It's almost 4 Day KAL time and we are ready to knit with you! We’re knitting along with Marie Greene and her team at Olive Knits! Join us for her 9th Annual 4-Day Sweater KAL!
Cast on is July 4th, so now is the time to start thinking about your yarn! Our sample is being knit with Tillie (love!) and we can also recommend Remix Light for a wool-free alternative. This tee style top can also be knit with two strands of fingering weight yarn held together. Pattern pre-orders begin May 23 on Ravelry or oliveknits.com. Watch for your full pattern on July 4th in your Ravelry or Olive Knits library.
We will have Zoom invitations for our knitters! Marie will discuss yarn and color ideas on Zoom on June 5th at 7:00 PM. Special orders and yarn help available! Please contact the shop to receive your Zoom invitation after May 23.
Remember: we knit for 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; we love this sweater and we think you will, too!
