PetiteKnit Vest Supported Knit Along (KAL)

PetiteKnit Vest Supported Knit Along (KAL)

Join us at Connected Stitches for a winter supported KAL! We will be working on the vests by PetiteKnit, led by local knitter, Josefine. This is a community supported project, you will work on your own knit vest and have the opportunity to ask questions and get advice throughout the process from other knitters. There is NO committed teaching time, but Josefine will be present to guide and encourage. 

We encourage you to join every knitting session so you can complete your vest, but understand if you can't make it to every one! See the gathering schedule below to see what we will aim to work on each week.
