We had our first Christmas jumper knit-along last year and had such a great time, we're doing it again for 2021!
It's very informal - the only deadline is which year's Christmas you intend to wear your jumper for! We don't pick one pattern to knit as it's a very personal kind of jumper - you might be going full novelty or something a little more understated.
We wrote a round-up of some pattern suggestions in 2019 - and you can of course just knit a plain jumper in a festive colour (maybe holding some DROPS Glitter with it?)
How will this work?
We're going to keep things virtual again this year - we have Slipstitch friends across the country who want to join in. We'll be doing both daytime and evening sessions on Google Meet - our first festive session will be Friday October 15th from 3 till 4. Future sessions will run (keep an eye out for more dates as they are added):
- Friday 15th October, 3 till 4
- Thursday 21st October, 7 till 8:30
- Thursday 28th October, 3 till 4
- Thursday 4th November, 7 till 8:30
All sessions use the same Google Meet link.
We'll also have a dedicated thread in the shop's Ravelry group for sharing our progress (and commiserating on my inevitable messed-up gauge.)
Please share your progress on Instagram with the hashtag #slstkal
