The newest Tribe KAL!
As with previous KALs, your purchase is 100% redeemable against yarn/notions purchase.
We're knitting the amazing pattern by @grey_level_knitter.
This "top-down" jacket is a Double Knit project.
Although the original is knit using 3 colours, we will explore using more colours too, and play with other customisation techniques.
This is an ADVANCED knit. Although you don't need previous Double Knitting experience, you should definitely be able to knit before you tackle this one.
Our Zoom-based KALs are guided, which means we will be discussing technique, with tips and advice as we go, and you don't have to have any Double Knit experience to join, but you should be very confident with knit and purl stitches, and happy with stranded colourwork since you're working with two colours at a time.
We tackle this lovely lot on this KAL:
• choosing yarns and colours
• planning your knit
• double knitting
• making your jacket reversible
• make your own motifs - what works
We're there to guide you all the way: all the technique, tips, colour advice and camaraderie you've come to expect from our fabulous KALs!
(Zoom recordings will be sent in case you can't make it, or want to view later).
Your KAL Coupon is 100% redeemable against your yarn purchase! (Which basically means all the technique, Zoom sessions and emails are free 😁.)
Tribe KALs are all about community, yarny friendships, support and laughs. We keep doing them because they are so much fun! Try to keep your Friday evenings free during the KAL so you can get the most out of the KAL. Whilst there is a good amount of technique discussed during the sessions, the idea is more of a "knit-along" as opposed to workshops. It's more of a social thing 😁, where we encourage and inspire others with our creations.

We can't advise on yarns that we don't sell, and we love to share our KALers projects to help us to sell more lovely yarn (just to be super up front about it 😊.)
If you forget to use your coupon, we can't retrospectively fix this. But you can always use the credit any time over the next 12 months.
Zoom and KAL Rules:
Please do not share Zoom details with anyone, including recordings. All attendees on Zoom are required to have their camera (don't worry - no one will judge you for messy hair, messy bedroom etc 😁). Upon joining, Zoom attendees give permission for the sessions to be recorded and shared amongst KAL participants only.
I (Milli) will be available for KAL help during Zoom sessions and via the Ravelry group only. I'm afraid I can't address individual help via emails or phone.
Be kind and courteous.
No hate speech or bullying.
No promotions or spam. Please do not use the group to promote products from other sellers.
Respect everyone's privacy.
We very much encourage modifications, personalisations and knitting beyond your comfort zone! 🙌🏽
Have fun! That's the most important rule.
