I’m proud to be one of 250 participating designers for the 7th year in a row!

We are prepping for the holidays as only fiber folks can, with special deals from tons of indie designers! This is our 10th annual GAL, and we are super excited to celebrate it all with you! It is hard to believe that we have had a decade of the GAL!

Welcome new members! We are a chatty and enthusiastic bunch – so don’t be overwhelmed by the volume in the chat thread! Just start by reading the information below, and then take a look at the Announcements & Map thread. The Chat thread is super active, but if you prefer things a bit slower we have a Slow Lane Chat thread!.

What is Gift-A-Long?

It’s a multi-designer promotion to help you kick your holiday gift-making into high gear!

The Indie Design Gift-A-Long is an almost 6 week long KAL/CAL of holiday gifts made from patterns designed by a rather extensive list of independent designers. From November 22nd, 2022 at 5:00 pm US Eastern time zone to December 31, 2022 at midnight US Eastern time zone there will be fun games, contests, and 8 KAL/CALs that will help you get your holiday knitting and crocheting done with companionship and fun! You can read all about the details in this post: click here, or on the FAQ page in our group pages.

Please note our new earlier start time this year – 5pm US EST

Once you’ve got your Gift-A-Long patterns, we encourage you to join a relevant KAL/CAL! (For instance, if it is a cowl, please join the Cowls, Scarves, & Other Neck Things KAL/CAL). To join, simply write a post in the KAL/CAL thread you want to join, including the pattern name you will be knitting and a link to your project page. KAL/CAL participants are eligible for lots of lovely prizes but you’ve got to post to win. PLEASE NOTE: you MUST be a group member to be eligible to win any prizes.

KAL/CALs will run from November 22nd 2022 at 5:00 pm US Eastern time zone to December 31st, 2022 at midnight US Eastern time zone, plenty of time to knock out all your holiday knitting and crocheting. We have tons of prizes, games, and great conversation, plus a lot of other fun, so pull up a chair and join us!

On your mark…get set…. GIFT!! (I’ll probably start small with one of these cuties by Natalie Servant!)
