That is so sad!

You deserve happiness and fine things. Cast on a new project, the most squishy yarn, fun notions and instruction books, some new skills and fiber friends with a class...

Plus, this habit is much better for your teeth than crack.

Ready to cast on something cozy, modern, and impossibly fun? Come knit the Meltdown Sweater by Tante Ehm with us during our winter knit along—a bold, color-melty masterpiece that’s as addictive to knit as it is to wear.

Whether you're looking for accountability, community, or just an excuse to play with glorious color combos, this KAL is your winter vibe. We’ll cheer each other on through fades, striping choices, sleeve decisions, and the occasional “do I have enough yarn?” existential moment. (Spoiler: you do. Or we’ll enable you!)

Expect laughs, pattern support, inspiration, and that magical feeling of a group of makers working on the same project, yet each sweater being as unique as the knitter!

What you get:

  • Guided check-ins and friendly help as you knit

  • Color palette ideas and yarn support

  • A finished sweater you’ll want to live in with support to modify if you'd like

Cast on with us and let your creativity melt together into something unforgettable.
Grab your yarn, grab your needles—let’s Meltdown together (in the good way).
