Astro Pop - 4 Day (or so) KAL

Here’s how to participate:

Step 1: Purchase the pattern on Ravelry. If you buy it by June 13, it will be discounted by $2. The pattern will appear in your Ravelry library on July 4; before then, you’ll receive a pre-order document with information about pattern features, sizing, gauge, yarn, needles - everything you need to be prepared to cast on on July 4!

Step 2: Sign up for the KAL at The Studio. You can sign up on the website, in person, or by calling The Studio.

Step 3: Join Lynn and Monta to have fun knitting with other KAL participants. We will be at The Studio from noon to 3 p.m. each day July 4 through 7 to offer help and encouragement.

Yarn ideas 

This pattern calls for DK or heavier sport weight yarn. Some yarns to consider are

Hampton - DK in 70% pima cotton, 30% linen

Appalachain Baby - sport weight U.S. organic cotton

Also, plan to check out the June yarn trunk show, Robin’s Promise for potential yarns.

Of course, we don’t have to finish in 4 days, but it’s a fun challenge - and since the sweater is top-down, most of the patterning comes early on - and after that, it’s smooth knitting!

We’ll have our needles ready to start on July 4 - hope to see you then!
