Winding Down the Read Along Knit Along

The biggest and best Read Along Knit Along yet is winding down this week. Officially it ended yesterday, but there are enough people super close to finishing that we’ll savor this really fun knit along for a few more days. The giveaway has been extended for a couple more days, and if you participated in the RALKAL, even if you’re nowhere near finishing on time, you can enter to win an awesome prize pack at the bottom of this post.

Since the holidays are barreling toward us all like a runaway train, today I’m going to go ahead & share some favorite WIP shots and finished projects from RALKAL. These shots all came from the lovely Hands Occupied Ravelry Group, where we’ve been discussing The Night Circus as we knitted our mystery infinity scarves, and from folks on Instagram who have shared their progress using #ralkal & #scarfofdreams.

RALKALIRL

I want to give Chicago’s Firefly Fiber Arts (a favorite local yarn shop)a huge shoutout today too! They so graciously allowed me to host the first ever in-person Read Along Knit Along weekly meetup, aptly nicknamed RALKALIRL, in their shop every Friday night for the last 6 weeks. This coming Friday, we’ll be hosting a final RALKALIRL where we’ll have a fashion show for everyone who completed The Scarf of Dreams, and I can’t wait to share the action. We’ll also have our drawing for our RALKALIRL prize pack, which should be fun. For a peek at the fun we’ve been having at Firefly this fall, check out #ralkalirl on Instagram, and if you’re in the Chicago area, you’re welcome to join us from 4-8 pm this Friday, 11/17. :)
