INTRODUCING: The Kelbourne Woolens Summer Sweater KAL

June 29, 2014 Kelbourne Woolens
sskal graphics3.jpg

2014 is shaping up to be the year of the Knit-A-Long! It began with the Rosemont KAL, and we just finished our 2nd annual Meadow Mystery KAL, and we're delighted to announce our next KAL: The Kelbourne Woolens Summer Sweater KAL!

Starting on Sunday, June 29th and ending on Friday, August 1st, we'll all be knitting our sweaters for ourselves from the Summer Sweaters Collection. Throughout the course of the KAL, we'll be sharing tips and tricks for knitting highly successful summer sweaters specific to our individual projects, from determining the correct length of yarn for completing your long-tail cast-on, to working perfect short rows, or mastering a few simple steps for finishing seams with a 3-needle bind-off.

Since there are six possible sweaters to choose from, and not every sweater utilizes the same construction methods and techniques, our approach to this KAL will be more casual. Instead of a step-by-step weekly calendar to follow, we're going to treat this KAL more like a online interactive knitting circle, dedicating 1 or 2 posts a week to our progress and Tips+Tricks. We'll still have a thread in our Ravelry group where we compile all of the related blog posts, and people can ask questions and share their projects along the way in our group and here on the blog. And, as always, we'll be sharing our progress here on the blog and on instagram with the hashtag #kwsskal.

So, choose your pattern, pick your color of Meadow or Savannah, and get ready to Knit A Long with us!

When we did some rebranding at the end of the year in celebration of our 10th anniversary, it only made sense to honor the milestone with a logo pin. And with the release of Andorra and Scout, we designed pins for those as well!⠀
⠀
We couldn't let our love for swatching go uncelebrated, either, so we decided to wave our swatch flag proudly...with a pin! No one can deny the allure of glitter, so we added some bling to the simple design to really let our love shine.⠀
⠀
All of our pins come on a heavy card and are available in our online shop or at a LYS near you. Enjoy!⠀

The Adventura shawl by @lauranelkin is designed using Kelbourne Woolens Andorra as a pattern exclusive to Local Yarn Shops in celebration of the inaugural Local Yarn Store Day on April 21st. ⠀
⠀
Adventura is a choose your own shawl adventure. All three versions of Adventura start the same with a neutral color knitting up a simple boomerang shape. You then work a few transition garter rows, and it is time to begin your journey. There is a skill level for everyone, from the most basic beginner knitter to a knitter craving more of a challenge.⠀
⠀
Beginning on LYS Day, the pattern will be available exclusively at local yarn shops through the @ravelry in store sales program. (Not currently participating in the program? Visit ravelry.com/wiki/pages/InStoreSales for more info and to sign up!)⠀
