Zigazig ah! This month’s knitalong is a firm favourite here at WATG. The focus this time is on the finishing, so we’re gonna be showing you some ways you can bling it up to eleven, Boom.
Our Zigazig Shopper KAL runs through the month of August. This time you have two options if you wanna take part:
1. Knit Your Own + bling it up to the max
2. Buy Ready Made + pimp it up to the stars
To join in, just order up your Knit Knit or Ready Made shopper, then go wild.
This time around, the best in show will win a WATG Knit or Crochet Kit of their choice up to the value of £100. Whoop!
Here’s how we’re gonna roll…
Week 2 (13TH AUG)
For those of you getting your knit on, we’ll be dispensing some general knitting tips such as how to knit stripes, how to create a contrast trim + how to convert the pattern for knitting in the round (= seam-free fun!).
Week 3 (20TH AUG)
We’ll be focusing on the duplicate stitch technique, where you can use a contrast colour of Jersey Be Good to embroider an image onto your bag.
Week 4 (27TH AUG)
In the (slightly altered) words of Beyoncé, If you like it then you could always put a tassel on it. We’ll show you how.
AND THEN…
It’s all about the sharing and caring. In the final week of the KAL we wanna see those bags. We’ll be sharing some of our faves to inspire you.
Still lost?
What’s a Knitalong?
It’s simple – it’s a group of people getting together to knit a project, to share their experiences, and to help each other along the way. Sounds great, right? As our Gang are spread across the globe, we’ll be coming together online. You can join in on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Ravelry - our hashtag is #knitwiththegang.
