The mountains are calling... let’s cast on!
what to expect
While there are a lot of surprises hidden within this design, here are some things that you can expect:
• slip-stitch knitting
• lace
• elongated and/or unique stitches • frequent color changes
• eyelets
• unique construction
Rest easy! All techniques with charts will also include written instructions. I’ve created tutorial videos to guide you through any new techniques. There will NOT be any stranded colorwork, short rows, or brioche. This design is intended for intermediate knitters, but could be suitable for an adventurous beginner. The best part of a KAL... there will be lots of help from knitters along the way!
