Run your own craft-a-long with friends
Crafting is always more fun when it’s with friends! Share your love for knitting and crochet, and embark on a new woolly adventure together by creating a craft-a-long. We’re here to help, with video tutorials for every step of your project, and a handy planner to keep you on track.
What is a craft-a-long?
A craft-a-long is a group event where crafters make the same projects, meeting regularly to work on parts of the pattern together. They are also sometimes called knit-a-longs (KALs) and crochet-a-longs (CALs). Craft-a-longs can be large-scale events, where parts of a pattern are released in stages, or they can be as simple as all creating the same item, at the same time!
