graphic-main-ballIt’s that time of year!  The Indie Gift-A-Long (GAL) is back!

Here’s the info: The Gift-A-Long will run from November 22nd at 8 pm (US-EST) through December 31st at midnight (US-EST). Prizes galore (patterns, books, yarn, and more) will be available. (I’ll be donating a copy of Hitch, my Aran Lace DVD, and a couple pairs of wooden sock blockers as physical prizes; and of course, there will be Ravelry patterns to win as well!)

Over 300 indie designers are participating this year. To join in the gift-a-long, simply knit or crochet any of their paid patterns and post all the required info in the appropriate thread in the group here.

From November 22nd at 8:00 pm US EST – November 30th, 2015 at 11:59 pm US EST the participating indie designers will be discounting between 5 – 20 of their patterns 25% for this event. Use coupon code: giftalong2016.

I have carefully chosen eight different accessory patterns for the sale, great for gifts, ranging from quick and easy (cowls (Owl Rock, Micaceous, Celadonite), Javelina hat) to labors of love for someone especially knitworthy (Estuarine, Tricho).  Morro (not shown below) and Cayucos are quick to middling quick to knit, depending on your yarn choices. Check out the bundle on Ravelry here.

But don’t forget — any paid design by the participating indie designers is eligible for the GAL, not just the sale patterns!    (You can see all my designs on Ravelry here.)
