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.

Projects pictured Top to Bottom:

Etta: Fridays with Julie @ 10:30 am starting 8/11/17
Perfect for Summer wear, but equally great as a layering piece into the Fall, Etta is a simple and flattering tank with a column of delicate cables gracing the back.  The yarn is Quince & Co.'s Willet "cleaner cotton," which is processed using less toxic chemicals than traditional cotton farming practices.

Summer Top: Saturdays with Kathy @ 9:30 am starting 7/1/17
Another great summer top, this time in the softest of cottons from Lang Yarns.  The velvety soft yarn changes color subtlely and the stitch pattern is deceivingly simple.  Lots of color options possible!

"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...
