Let me know in the comments! ⬇️ #knitcollageLast Day to Join 👏 Faye Fringe Bag ChallengeKnit Collage2024-02-26 | Enrollment for the Faye Fringe Bag Challenge ends tonight 2/26 at 11:59pm PST. Follow the link to join me! knitcollage.com/collections/challenge A long time ago, I felt called to try knitting and to create my own sweaters and accessories. I didn’t know it then but do now; when you’re just starting out, that’s when you need the most support through teaching and expert coaches to push past mistakes to learn and grow. I did it the hard and long way and it took me YEARS to try techniques that scared me. I knew there had to be a better way. That is why I created the Faye Fringe Bag Challenge and our Knitalongs. These knitting experiences are an immersive learning environment that is the opposite of the long and hard way. You don’t have to go through what I did to get my results and to make things you love. The Faye Fringe Bag Challenge is an ultra supportive environment for you to up level your knitting skills and set your creativity free. It’s exactly what I wish would have existed when I was starting out. Shave years off the learning curve and jumpstart your knitting journey with us! Today is the very last day to enroll, with doors closing at 11:59pm PST tonight, 2/26. Follow link to details 👏🙏knitcollage.com/collections/challenge #knitcollage #knittingloveSurprise BONUS Tutorials Added!Knit Collage2024-02-26 | A few days ago when I went live here, I got so many questions about lining the Faye Fringe Bag. You asked, I listened! As part of the video course I am adding two bonus tutorials: How to Line Your Bag and How to Knit a Bag Strap. Despite having a deep love for knitting, I actually studied fashion design in college and used to sew my own clothes. I’m getting back to those roots! Expect a super simple tutorial on how to create your own Faye Fringe Bag Lining, either by hand or on a sewing machine. The Bag Strap Tutorial will also be a fun, optional modification you can choose to add to your bag.
Last day to join the challenge is today, 2/26! We start knitting on 3/1. The community is ready to welcome you with open arms! Follow link to details 👏 knitcollage.com/collections/challenge
AND a huge thank you to Aimee of @pancakeandlulu for making her stunning bag, complete with a strap, shown in the pics here. She shared how she did it with me so that I can teach you. It’s beautiful and I hope some of you will decide to add this modification on! I’ll be whipping one up so stay tuned! Thank you Aimee 🙏🙏🙏 #knitcollage #knitspiration #knittingloveTry the provisional cast on with me!Knit Collage2024-02-23 | Come try the provisional cast on technique with me! I love it, how about you? Ever tried it?! It’s one of the techniques I’ll be teaching as part of the Faye Fringe Bag class and although you don’t have to try it and learn something new, I’ll be encouraging you too!

Pattern details:
Skill Level: Beginner Knitter
Needle Size: Size US 17 (12.75 mm) 32” / 80 cm circular needles forBody, or size needed to obtain gauge.
For Size 1 only: Size US 15 (10 mm) 16” / 100 cm circular needles or the most comfortable needle size, gauge is unimportant. If choosing a different needle size, or gauge is different, yarn requirements may differ.

Fit Note: Choose a size that will fit comfortably around your upper body at chest level. The ribbed fabric will conform nicely to a range of sizes, but you don’t want it to be so snug that it limits arm movement. Samples are size 2 shown on a 34”/86 cm chest and on a 42”/106.5 cm chest.

Pattern available through @xandypeters Ravelry shop. #knitcollageNew favorite spot to knit and crochet 💞Knit Collage2023-12-08 | A few weekends ago we put a chair in the bedroom, a vintage chair that reclines and has a footrest. It’s my new favorite spot to cozy up and knit. I’m still working away on my Inner Beauty Cardi, rainbow edition. I had to rip twice already….. oops 🤪 and am wearing my new Maisie Cardi, a fave available now in the web shop as a pattern or kit! #knitcollageStarting ANOTHER Maisie Crochet Cardi! 💟Knit Collage2023-12-05 | The Maisie Crochet Cardi is headed your way tomorrow. This simple crochet pattern is really all about having fun with color and texture using a huge granny square as your medium! There is no wrong way to do it. I was inspired by @moon_and_yarn beautiful color combo when I started this square today! I’ll share more of her stunning cardi in the coming days.

Knit Side, Purl Side?Knit Collage2023-11-28 | Which side do you like most, the stockinette side (wrong side in pattern) or purl side (right side in pattern)? I am completely split on this one!
