Tolsta Tee-Summer KAL

Elgin Knit Works 10 Douglas Avenue, Elgin

The Tolsta Tee is a perfect basic raglan t-shirt that can be the canvas for all of your creative ideas. The pattern includes the instructions for the tee, plus an extra document with resources on how to customize the Tolsta to your liking. Will you make solid, multi or stripes? With eyelets or embroidery? Knitters have at least 8 different yarns to choose from each with endless amounts of colors.

Here is how it works. We choose the pattern and designate the yarn then provide all the help you need to complete the project.

Join us Fridays and/or Sundays from 10:00 - 1:00 starting on May 31. No need to sign up, just stop in and select your yarn and we will help get you started.

Malabrigo Holiday KAL

Elgin Knit Works 10 Douglas Avenue, Elgin

For our next KAL we have decided to shake things up a bit. Knitters who would like to continue to work on their KAL sweaters are welcome to continue. For those knitters who switch to gift knitting (or just accessory knitting) can participate in our Malabrigo Holiday KAL. Knitters can join us during November & December on Sunday afternoons from 1:30-4. HOW DOES IT WORK?
You can choose from any of the Malabrigo yarns in the shop. A ticket will be issued for each skein purchased. When the project is completed, bring the ticket in and you will recieve 10% off on your next skein of Malabrigo yarn and the tickets will be entered into a drawing that we will have during our post-holiday party.
