The reasons we knit are many. We knit for relaxation and calm. We knit for the feeling of accomplishment we get when we complete a project. We knit to create gifts. We knit for those in need. People who join knit-alongs knit for all those reasons, too. The difference is that they knit together! What a great way to make new friendships and strengthen old ones. Join an event or create your own.
Simply Simple Sweater Knitting Pattern
An ideal place to find inspiration is at Free-Knit.com where you can find free knitting sweater patterns, which make wonderful projects for knit-alongs. When a group chooses an easy project for all skill levels (like the Simply Simple Sweater Knitting Pattern) the finished product can be ready in no time. And with a large enough group knitting together, sweaters would be a great item to donate to your local homeless shelter to help prepare for cooler months.

Gather at each others’ homes, at a community building, at a church, or even at a restaurant for coffee- if it allows room for all those clicking needles. The end result is new friends and a feeling of satisfaction for having helped others.
