Join the Next Stolen Stitches Knit-along
If you frequently find that you run out of steam before you finish your knits or you haven’t tried any new techniques in a while, then our KALs (knit-alongs) may be just the thing for you! The comradery of many knitters working on the same project together, encouraging each other along can be a huge help to get across that finish line.
Our Previous Knit-along
February 2024 was our most recent knit-along, the Grianchloch Shawl. This delicate biased shawl was a mystery, with each new section revealed as a 'clue' send out on the scheduled dates. This pattern is now available as a complete pattern, or if you want the video workshop just add the workshop instead which will include the pattern.
Lots of Support
All of our KALs have pattern directions released in steps, with tips for every section and a complimentary step-by-step video tutorial series. It’s a great way of learning new techniques and challenging yourself to stretch your knitting skills.
All videos are recorded in english with captions enabeled. All workshops, once released, are avilable 24/7 with lifetime access. Support is available via our interactive comments sections beneath our workshops and within our dedicated community space in Knithub.
Tips and tricks for a successful knit-along
Here are some additional tips and tricks to help you make the most of your knit-along experience:

- Use stitch markers or other tools to keep track of your progress and avoid mistakes.

At its simplest, a knit-along (or KAL for short) is a group of knitters who work on the same project at the same time. Typically, a knit-along has a set start and end date, and participants follow a pattern or set of instructions provided.
Knit-alongs can take many forms, from local knitting groups who meet in person to online communities who connect through social media, forums or dedicated platforms. Some knit-alongs are organized around a specific theme or yarn, while others are more free-form and allow participants to choose their own projects within a broad category. Here we have 3 garment KALs a year and one Mystery KAL in February.
