Spring Forward Make-Along Kit

From Scheepjes:

The Spring Forward Make-A-Long warmly invites intermediate knitters to grow their skills by crafting a cosy blanket composed of richly textured squares with a variety of patterns, including some with cables. Each motif introduces participants to new techniques, encouraging them to "spring forward" in their craft as they master each square. 

This Spring Forward theme brings optimism and anticipation to winter knitting, as each stitch brings participants closer to spring. Embrace the journey, build new skills, and create a blanket to treasure as we knit toward brighter seasons ahead.

The 5-week MAL will begin on 15 January, 2025

Parts 1-4 will be released on Wednesdays, typically around 12 noon CET 6 am ET, with the final Part 5 released on Monday 10th Feb.

Join the vibrant Official Scheepjes Facebook Groups and participate in crafting a beautifully knitted blanket featuring rich textures and cable patterns. With the support of Scheepjes’ knowledgeable moderators and administrators, along with a community of fellow yarn crafters, this project offers an inspiring experience for intermediate knitters and beyond. Share progress and connect with others as we embark on this exciting journey together!
