Our last few Knit Alongs have been mostly garments.

My favorite gift is… Read more »
It’s (almost) time for the fall Knit Along! This KAL’s voting was actually the closest I’ve ever seen it, but the Adirondack Basket Hat came out ahead by just a few votes!

They’re really more of a basketweave pattern (hence the name), and so I think it’s a… Read more »
