Gettin' Shifty KAL with Ingrid

Let's welcome Spring with the Gettin’ Shifty Knit-a-long (KAL). Join us to shift gears out of Winter by knitting your choice of 4 “Shift” patterns from Andrea Mowry. All use Mosaic knitting to create beautiful color shifting in a snap. Mosaic knitting is a simple technique to combine colors and is suitable even for newer knitters to try out! If you can knit, purl, and slip stitches, then you can do Mosaic knitting.

Choose The Shift cowl or Shiftalong hat for just enough to keep the chill away, or dive into the Nightshift shawl or Shifty pullover (for intermediate or advanced knitters) for more of a challenge. Click here to browse all four patterns.

Our wonderful Ingrid will host the KAL, which will begin on Friday, March 18th. The KAL will kickoff with a Zoom meetup on the 18th at 3:30pm PT (4:30 MT, 5:30 CT, 6:30 ET), followed by four more Zoom get-togethers on Fridays (same time) - March 25th; April 8th and 22nd; and May 6th. The meetups will be recorded and the replays made available.

Excited yet? Well, there’s more - registered participants will get 10% off their purchase of yarn for the KAL (one use per customer). AND we will have a prize drawing! To sign up and get your coupon code, fill out the form at the bottom of this post.

**Note: If you’re already doing the 2022 DreaReneeKnits (DRK) March to May Sweater or Shawl KAL and have chosen one of the Shift family of patterns, join us for more fun!
