Smokeshow KAL

A classic buttoned vest in an all-over cable pattern, Smokeshow is a engaging knit that would be right at home in a library, curled up in a leather chair with your favorite book. 

The overall cable pattern is subtle, with a bit of hidden texture, and the button bands are worked in twisted rib for added visual interest. The ribbed hem plays right into the cable pattern, and the overall effect is simple and classic.

Smokeshow is the kind of knit that will get noticed in any outfit you create, but it doesn’t look for the attention. 

We welcome Caroline back to Fancywork to lead us through all the twists and turns of this timeless pattern. Due to her extensive experience as one of Thea's test knitters, Caroline is intimately familiar with her pattern writing style, as well as what yarns will best showcase this incredible design.

Register for the KAL online (just add this item to your cart) or stop in the shop to sign up in person. Caroline will be on hand Saturday, September 14th from 10-11 am to help advise Smokeshow knitters on yarn choice, so you can get those gauge swatches done and be ready to cast on for the first official meetup the following weekend, Saturday, September 21 at 10am.

FAQs

What's a Knitalong (or Crochetalong, or Makealong)?
A knitalong (KAL), Crochetalong (CAL) or Makealong (MAL) is a social event designed to bring the maker community together around a specific pattern or yarn – or sometimes both. Enjoy connecting with others while knitting or crocheting the same garment or working with a particular yarn together. This is a fantastic time to gather together with others in our fiber arts community, enjoy camaraderie, and get a little guidance and project support along the way.

What ISN'T a Knitalong/Crochetalong/Makealong?
A KAL/CAL/MAL is not a class. You should be reasonably familiar with the techniques required to work through the project at hand. However, help is never far away! If you ever find yourself in need of extended project support, drop in to our Help Session, offered weekly on Saturdays from 1-3pm.
