April Knit Along (KAL) Starts Thurs., April 2

Suggested yarns for the April KAL

Oh how did another Knit Along sneak up on us so quickly!

Michelle Hunter has designed a toe up sock for the April Knit Along. She is using Japanese stitches and it all sounds SO good.

You probably know the routine by now. Michelle posts the first clue of the Knit Along on the first Thursday of the month. The additional steps in the design are revealed on the three successive Thursdays. You knit along -- get it?

For more general information about the Knit Along concept, see our KAL FAQ blog post.

Now here's the bad (well, sort of bad) news. There was a huge demand for the specially dyed KAL yarn and so our website (think, gee, why didn't we order sooner!)  has missed out on the super duper specially-make-for-this-KAL yarn.

There are some wonderful substitutes, however. Two are Wolkenspiel, a yarn that is new to our website. Two others are Trekking XXL yarns, yarns that are simply basics in the sock knitting world.

Be sure to look over these four April KAL yarns on our website. You will find some nice discounts on these four yarns.

If you are a magic loop sock knitter (and this KAL can be knit using magic loop), we have Sock Rockets for you. With their smooth pointy tips and sleek cables, Sock Rockets make sock knitting into an absolute delight.

Hope you can join in on the KAL and knit along with us in April!
