Year: 2021

It’s time to STEEK! Spend hours on a project just to cut it up. Sounds fun right? 🙂

Join me as we steek together this winter! Has the idea of steeking always been a little daunting? Or are you a veteran “project cutter” who can give the group guidance? Or just a fan of trying something new?

Pick out your project and join me for the Cast On party Saturday, November 13 from 2 – 5pm CST. Want the link? Fill out the form below or join our Make A Long facebook group.

Our first project will be a group project: Steek This Coffee Cozy by Rachel Molenaar. This free pattern is available on Ravelry, can be found here. After that first boost of confidence, move on to a larger project of your choosing! There are thousands of knit patterns on Ravelry that you can search and even a few crochet projects to steek!!

Make A Long will officially kick off November 13, and will end with a cast off virtual party on Jan 2, 2022!

The Make A Long will run from May 1 – July 31. Your project does not have to be completed in that time. Prizes are awarded based on participation, not progress. Any pattern, yarn and craft is welcome to play!
