Shopcast #271: Join our Colorwork Accessories Knit-Along

TWT Shopcast 1/16/26

Shopcast #271: Come Join our Colorwork Accessories Knit-A-Long! 

In this week's shopcast. Corinne and Maggie show off their recently finished objects and works in progress. Maggie talks about her goal of knitting a pair of socks a month, she has a thread over in our ravelry group if anyone wants to join in and knit along with her. We invite everyone to join our Colorwork Accessories KAL, it's our oldest running KAL. We look at new kits we've released for the KAL, new yarns in the store, and more! Our contributors this week are Ruth who's showing off her amazing crochet projects, Kelsey with a color dominance tutorial using pool noodles (so clever!) and Rachel from Fair Isle wishes us a happy start to 2026 with her adorable flock of sheep.
