Marie Greene's 4 Day Knitalong 2025 - Astro Pop

There is something magical about taking on an "impossible" challenge with a lot of other people to cheer you on. Marie provides lots of support (and prizes!) along the way. I enjoyed it so much the first time, I did it again.
And then again! It is really a fun challenge!

When we saw what Marie Greene designed for her 4-day Knitalong this year, we immediately thought of Manos Milo. The fabric created by this merino linen blend is light and breathable, perfect for a short sleeve sweater. Milo's texture shines in stockinette, but won't distract from the cool side details that Marie included in her pattern. For an extra special added touch, we used Plied North Ave Twist for the "pop". 

So We Made Kits
We worked with Lisa at Manos and Ann at Plied to find four different wearable, but interesting color combinations. I just love what we came up with.

We've figured out how much yarn you need. You just have to decide which size you want to make. You will have some leftovers. Don't worry, we have ideas for these.

We will be taking orders until Sunday, June 8, but I believe that the favorites will sell out before then. If you love it, get it now.

Non-Wool Options
If you are looking for a non-wool option, we recommend: 

• Tillie - cotton + cupro in rich, saturated colors
• Remix Light - light, tweedy blend of recycled fibers
• Handspun Hope Cotton + Borocera Silk for pop
