Looking for your first big cast-on of 2026? Join Jessica from Double The Stitches for a fun, low-pressure Knit Along starting this Sunday, January 18th.

Whether you are craving the cozy embrace of a sweater or the elegant drape of a shawl, this event is designed for you. You’ll choose your knitting adventure, grab your yarn, and let’s make something beautiful together.

Option 1: The Coterie Sweater features a touch of lace at the yoke for a look that is effortlessly refined. It’s elegant with a flattering fit and a polished silhouette that stands the test of time.

Option 2: The Coterie Shawl is a versatile, flowing accessory designed to highlight the drape of your yarn. Its elegant crescent shape adds a layer of sophistication to your next night out.

This KAL is built with a pace that actually fits your life: We’re taking a spacious eight weeks to knit together. This isn’t a race to the bind-off. It’s about the camaraderie of casting on together, troubleshooting the tricky bits, and cheering each other on.

PLUS … we’ll gather together (virtually) for four Zoom Knit Parties! You’ll have the opportunity to connect with fellow knitters, celebrate your progress, and get help along the way. All sessions are recorded if you can’t join live!

It is free to join the KAL events; you just need to purchase a copy of the pattern! Pick the project that calls to you, or grab both to complete the set and save!

We kick off with a Cast-On Party this Sunday at 2 PM ET! (Replays will be available if you can’t make it live).

Did you know September 15th is National Make a Hat Day? 🥳

Ever thought about knitting a hat? It’s such a brilliant way to practice new skills and techniques! Here’s why:

First off, hats are the perfect size — not too big, not too small. You can finish one quickly, which means no long-term commitment like with a sweater or blanket. Who doesn’t love a quick win?

Plus, hats are a playground for techniques! Ribbing, shaping (hello, increases and decreases), working in the round, colorwork, lace, cables, texture — you name it, hats have it. It’s like a mini knitting workshop all wrapped up in one project.

And let’s talk about that sense of accomplishment. Because hats are quick, you get that instant gratification. There’s nothing like finishing a project and feeling that boost of confidence, especially when you’re trying something new.

Hats are also super practical. They’re functional, make great gifts, and you can wear them yourself! It’s a tangible reward for all your hard work and practice.

Lastly, hats are portable. You can take them anywhere, so you can knit at home, on the go, or wherever you find yourself with a bit of free time. How convenient is that?

So, stop by your favorite Local Yarn Store to pick up some pretty yarn or use what you have in your stash, grab your needles, and let’s celebrate by knitting a hat together from one of my designs! 🎉

Find my hat patterns on Ravelry.
