Knit-Alongs (KALs) & Crochet-Alongs (CALs) are informal instructor-guided sessions focused on the completion of a particular project.  Drop in and out as you like and benefit from an on-site instructor working on the project along with you and other enthusiastic stitchers.  Although KAL/CAL sessions (except Knitche Labs) are free of charge, a shop donation would be greatly appreciated and will help us to continue to offer these programs in the future.  If you are able pre-register prior to the initial start date, we will be better able to keep you informed if there are any scheduling changes from week to week.

"Rhinebeck" cardigan: Thursdays with Renee @ 7:00 pm starting 7/6/17
Tracey and Renee fell in love with this comfy cardigan (Watsyn by Heidi May) and imagine themselves strolling, cider and doughnuts in hand, amidst the rustling leaves on the Rhinebeck county fairgrounds this Fall.  Quince & Co. Osprey, a 100% American wool is hearty yet soft to the touch and comes in a plethora of beautiful colors.  The pattern is sized from child (1yr) through adult (4XL).  Even if you're not planning on attending the NY Sheep & Wool festival, you'll still look great in this sweater right here in Chicago! Suede elbow patches optional...
