Everyday Yay Cardi Kit Solid

Welcome to the Spring 2025 Knitalong! Our knitalongs are a wonderful way to learn and grow in new ways. We accomplish this through in depth video classes that match the exact pattern you're working on, around the clock support from our expert coaches and accountability and connection from other creativity loving makers. It's about learning new things, diving deep into our most creative selves and of course, having a lot of fun along the way too! The Spring 2025 knitalong will be hosted entirely on our app, which means everything is available in one, easy to navigate space.  Watch the videos below to learn what sets them apart in detail.
