Knitalongs are great fun whether it's your own face-to-face group knitting the same project together or an online group of friends via the Forum.

Ideas for knitalongs

• Join a big charity knit-in.
  
  
• Learn a new skill, such as lace or sock knitting, together – It's an excellent way to learn whilst at the same time forging new friendships. Use it to bounce ideas off and inspire each other and to share your knolwedge. It's a great way of sharing the joys and frustrations of mastering a new technique!
