About the GLOW ALONG

Knit Alongs (KALs) are a fun, social activity in which a group of knitters all make the same project in a specified timeframe. Our hosted knit alongs are complete with kits filled with the right yarn for the project, often in exclusive colours, and include exclusive or limited edition gifts to make the experience that much more exciting.

The Glow Along will feature the Awesomer Gossamer Shawl, which can be purchased separately from westknits.com or Ravelry.com. 

6th February, 2025!

Cast on with us on 6th February and we will knit together throughout February until the knit along ends 6th March.

Embrace your own pace! You can knit at your own pace and share photos of your progress on Instagram with #GAL2025 #AwesomerGossamerShawl. Share your progress in the Westknits Glow Along Ravelry grouptoo!

From 17th January you can purchase the Glow Along pattern on westknits.com or Ravelry.com. Kits will be available here at stephenandpenelope.com!

There will be lots of fun chat in the Glow Along Ravelrygroup and on Instagram.

Adventurous beginners are welcome to participate. Westknits patterns include several video tutorial links to assist with the written instructions.

There is no brioche in this year's Glow Along.

Yes of course! The Glow Along is open to everyone.

To see what the possibilities are for holding your order, please send us an email as soon as possible to info@stephenandpenelope.com!

During the Glow Along our orders can take a bit longer to ship out than usual but we'll be working hard to get your order out as soon as possible.

Please be patient before checking in on the shipment status of your order. We'll be shipping throughout January to ensure you get your kit before the 6th February cast on date!
