Knit-Along Project on Thursdays in March (Not 3/21)
Every Thursday is a KAL night here at The Bloomin' Spindle! The table is open for anyone who has signed up for a class but is still working on their piece. We also add a group project every month for people to come and work on a project together without a class if supplies are bought here.
Time & Location
Mar 07, 2024, 6:00 PM – Mar 28, 2024, 7:30 PM
The Bloomin' Spindle, 5359 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60641, USA
About the event
Knit Along with us!Â
The Store Will be closed after 3PM on 3/21, so there will be no Knit-Along on that Thursday Evening.
Join us every Thursday evening at 6 pm for fun with your fiber friends! Â Bring a beverage or snack and come start a new project with us. Â Knit-Alongs and Crochet-Alongs are a great way to work on a project without taking a class. Â The staff is here to answer questions if you need help, and your fiber friends will often offer support, too! Â Some folks join for the fun monthly project suggestions, and some are here to finish class projects. Â If you have purchased a class, or if you purchase your materials here at the Bloomin' Spindle, you can continue to work on your project on Thursdays for as long as you need to.
This month, we are starting a new  Knit-Along (KAL) for the Artus! This mosaic shawl has a striking blend of colors and mix of textures is sure to be your new go-to wrap for these temperate spring months ahead.

From beginning to end, we're here to help you wrap up this piece and expand your knitting repertoire.
