We're an accessible, inclusive stitchalong event geared to promoting and supporting independent crochet and knitting designers. We also love building community and giving everybody a fun time!
Our 2023 event is now finished, but if you're looking to keep the spirit going...
- You can search our website database for designers and patterns all year round! We added a lot of new search features during the 2023 event to make it even easier to find designers and patterns you'll love.
- If you'd like to continue being part of a community throughout the year, we invite you to join the Inclusive Yarn Community Discord server
. This was created out of the wish to keep the community going after the first Fasten Off Yarnalong in 2020. In particular, check out the channel #foyal-take-your-time! - We're going to keep the FO submission form open even after the 2023 event ends, so that you can let everyone know about any FOs you make in 2024 from our 2023 participating designers! These will be steadily incorporated into the search so that people can see multiple projects made from our designers' patterns.
- We're also going to keep the new releases form open after the 2023 event ends, so that 2023 participating designers can let everyone know about any new patterns they release in 2024! These will be steadily incorporated into the search so that people can keep up-to-date with what our participating designers are doing.
- Make sure you're subscribed to our mailing list so you don't miss out on the planning and preparation for next year's event! You can also follow us on Instagram .
- Check out our video archive on YouTube , where you'll find the recordings of all the meet-the-designer sessions we held in both 2023 and 2022.
- Pore through our Pinterest account to see all kinds of great stuff, including 2023 projects from yarnalong makers, and groups of curated patterns, such as Gender Neutral Designs, Size Inclusive Garments, Stashbusters...the list goes on!
