Funkasonic Knit Along Wrap Up

February 1, 2016 Leave a Comment

Get your hands on the Funkasonic Mittens & Mukulks patterns on Ravelry & find tutorials to help you knit them on HandsOccupied.com!

Sadly, the Funkasonic Knit Along has come to an end, friends. This has been a really fun series, and after over 1500 views of the new tutorial videos for the knit along, dozens of Instagram posts, I’d say this was a success! The idea behind this knit along was to get knitters to learn some new skills to kick off their knitting years, and to stretch myself as a designer to release a really funky and colorful pattern. Based on feedback and lots of comments in the Ravelry group, I think we all made those goals together!

The Top 5 Funkasonic Pictures

In no particular order, here are my favorite pictures from the Funkasonic Knit Along! A lot of knitters were new to the Old Norwegian Cast On and two color brioche knitting, and many of you shared pictures of your first brioche successes on Ravelry. It was so cool to watch the pics roll in – here are my favorites. :)

Much love to everyone who sent supportive messages about taking time off and creative burnout. I often deflect with humor, but it was genuinely touching to connect with folks who understand. I’ll have something new for y’all later this week, so stay tuned! ❤️💛💙

A note on Very Serious Crafts: In the post I discuss stepping away from the @seriouscrafts podcast to give myself more time to devote to some minor medical issues.
