Hi friends,
You know that feeling when you look at your yarn stash and wonder what am I ever going to do with all this? It’s a mix of guilt, joy, and curiosity—a world of possibilities wrapped in every skein, mini, and leftover. That’s where the idea for the Scrappy Faded Sweater Knit-Along came from: a chance to embrace the stash, celebrate what we already have, and knit something truly unique together.
Let me tell you more about why this KAL means so much to me and why I think you’ll love it too.
The Story Behind the Sweater
This sweater started as a personal project, a fun way to use up some of the minis, advent yarns, and leftover skeins that had been patiently waiting in my stash for their moment. I began blending colors, playing with fades, and mixing textures. Every stitch brought back memories of past projects and the joy of discovering hidden gems in my stash.
When I finished, I realized it was so much more than just a sweater. It was a patchwork of creativity, love, and my knitting journey—something that felt truly personal and irreplaceable. I knew I had to share the experience.
