Knit Alongs (KALs) are exploding in popularity, partly because the Internet and social media allow people from all over the world access to meet, chat, gather and knit. A Knit Along is an event in which knitters gather (in person or online) to craft for a common purpose. Sometimes that purpose is simply for the joy of creating beautiful items with friends or it might be driven by charitable acts to knit for a common cause. Either way, try these fun, knit along ideas this weekend!
