HIBERKNITALONG 2026
The Westknits Hiberknitalong 2026 will start with a reveal of the Twinkling Twilight Shawl. The shawl is inspired by the soft stillness of winter landscapes as the sun sets and the stars glitter in the night sky. This pattern is centerpiece of the latest addition to my Hiberknitting ebook series, but it will also be available individually on December 17th.
Hiberknitting 7 launches on November 5th. This year's ebook features six cozy and whimsical patterns, including the Twinkling Twilight Shawl. Every pattern will be available individually on the day it's added to the ebook. The Billowing Brioche Hat pattern is included in the first download. It's the perfect project to warm up your needles before we cast on the main event on December 26th.
Also on November 5th, our exclusive Hiberknitalong 2026 kits and goodies will be available at Stephen & Penelope. We're including the Hiberknitting 7 ebook with every kit purchase.
