Time for a Log Cabin blanket KAL

New for Autumn 2024 - a shiny brand new knitalong and e-book for you

All about the joys of Log Cabin Blankets.

If you enjoyed my Mitered Square Blanket KAL you’ll definitely want to catch this.

It will run in much the same format over 4-6 weeks, starting in September - and as with previous KALs please don’t worry - I’m not expecting you to churn out a king sized blanket in a month.

Instead the aim is to introduce you to the concept of Log Cabin Style blankets. To the different shapes and styles you can construct and to give you the tools and the inspiration to create a truly unique Log Cabin blanket of your very own.

Each week will feature instructions on how to knit a Log Cabin style square - each of them will be different and will give you an idea of how the basic concept can be used to create a multitude of different possibilities - all from the same building blocks.

The four blocks will work together, so if you want, you can knit each of them and then stitch them into a small, lap-sized sampler blanket as a starter project . Or you can downsize each one and use them as test pieces for your own log cabin adventure.

Why Log Cabin style?

  • Perfect for stashbusting and using up random yarns from your stash

  • Endlessly adaptable - you can go as large or as small as you like

  • A great opportunity to play with colour

  • Relaxing garter stitch for the win - no stress knitting here

  • An ideal knitting project to keep you company in autumn/winter

Dates for your diary

  • After purchase you will receive a pre-KAL information sheet, just so you know what materials you need to get together and what to expect.

  • The dedicated Facebook group for the KAL will open towards the end of August so that you can all gather and chat about your plans in advance.

  • The first week of our KAL will be Mon Sep 16th and a new block will be released each Monday for 4 weeks.

  • There will then be two-week period where folks can discuss their plans for their own log cabin blanket and I’ll be on hand to offer any help that might be needed.

  • The Facebook group will remain open as long as it’s needed.
