CAST ON THE FIRST PATTERN IN HIBERKNITTING 7
Get Ready for Hiberknitalong 2026
This year, we're casting on the Twinkling Twilight Shawl together on Saturday, 26th December.
The shawl design is inspired by the soft stillness of winter landscapes as the sun slips behind the horizon line and I've collaborated with Life in the Long Grass to create two signature kits. Tundra Fade is full of rich autumnal tones and cozy fireside vibes, while Twilight Fade brings frosty pastels and crisp evening shades.
These signature kits are available exclusively at Stephen & Penelope alongside gorgeous kits featuring yarn from LITLG and other incredible hand dyers. All S&P kits include a copy of Hiberknitting 7, so there’s no need to buy the ebook or the Twinkling Twilight Shawl pattern separately.
Head over to Stephen & Penelope for kits, goodies and all details for the coziest knit along of the year.
