Fall is nearly here! Join us and cast on for the Pōhutukawa shawl to usher in the season! We will be hosting a virtual knit-along for this gorgeous, luxurious shawl beginning on September 4th with our Cast-On Party, 6pm-7:30 MST. Francoise Danoy of Aroha Knits designed this beautiful pattern, and we cannot wait to begin! Even more exciting, Francoise will be joining us for a special KAL session on October 16 to talk about how she integrates her culture and history into her designs!

We have curated some yarn selections just for this KAL, to help you make the shawl of your dreams. To make your own 2-color shawl, choose from any of the following or combine with some from your stash to make it truly unique:
-Neighborhood Fiber Co. Rustic Fingering: 2 skeins in each color
-Kelbourne Woolens Perennial: 2 skeins in each color
-Manos del Uruguay Marina: 1 skien in each color
-Lopi Einband - 3 skeins in each color
Did you know that Fancy Tiger now offers QuadPay as an option? It allows you to get your yarn now, but break the payment up into 4 installments!
Every other Friday evening throughout the KAL, we will get together on ZOOM to share skills and knit. Check out our event page to snag a spot and join us for live knitting time from 6pm - 7:30pm MST. Each week Rae will host and help with any questions, as well as demo techniques. We encourage knitters to work at their own pace, which is why Rae will record a tutorial that will be posted after the live session that will go over any techniques that were covered!
Of course, what is a KAL without prizes?
If you participate in the KAL, please post your gorgeous photos to Instagram with the hashtag #FancyShawlKAL. That we can follow along with your beautiful progress and share them on social media! All photos must be posted by the end of the day, November 20 to be considered for prizes.
