LORELAI & THE GILMORE GIRLS KNIT ALONG!
THERE'S A NEW TWIST!
For this knit along we're featuring our brand new pattern LORELAI + gorgeous yarn kits from Nice & Knit!
Our newest pattern, LORELAI, was inspired by one of the lead characters of Gilmore Girls - Lorelai Gilmore.
Full of personality, color and character - Lorelai embodies fun! I can just imagine her in her fave boots, jeans & rock n'roll t-shirt, strolling past Luke's with a warm cup of coffee wearing this shawl.
So grab 5 skeins of color that best represent your personality and join in on our Gilmore Girls Knit Along! The Lorelai shawl looks just as great in pastels as she does in vintage brights!
And don't worry if Lorelai is not your cup of tea, feel free to knit along with any project that you feel fits in with the Gilmore Girls aesthetic!
Most of all have fun!
