Try Something New: A Skill!
A Knit-Along is the perfect excuse to stretch your knitting skills and try something that’s been on your to-learn list! Whether you’ve always wanted to master delicate lace or finally conquer brioche, this is your chance—with a whole community to support you along the way.
Lace: The Halligarth Shawl by Gudrun Johnston
Lace knitting looks intricate (and maybe even intimidating), but with the right pattern and a little patience, it’s a skill that any knitter can master. The Halligarth Shawl by Gudrun Johnston is a stunning example of traditional Shetland lace—light, airy, and full of timeless charm.
✨ Corinne’s version uses just three skeins of Rambler in the colorway Trillium, showcasing the beauty of lace with the perfect balance of softness and stitch definition. If you’ve been curious about lace knitting, this is a fantastic place to start!
Brioche: The Cinnabar Shawl by Andrea Mowry
If you love squishy, textured fabric, brioche knitting is calling your name! The Cinnabar Shawl by Andrea Mowry is an excellent introduction to brioche with a striking design that lets color take center stage.
✨ For a showstopping result, pair Rambler yarn with a color-changing yarn like Junction Fiber Mill Making Tracks LITE—the shifts in hue will add even more depth and dimension to this already stunning pattern.
Whether you’re diving into lace, dipping your toes into brioche, or just looking to add a new technique to your knitting toolbox, this Knit-Along is the perfect opportunity to learn, experiment, and create something truly special! 💜
