2025 Craft-A-Longs

Participate in one or all of the 2025 ESK craft-a-longs to expand your repertoire, craft with virtual teammates, actually use all that gorgeous hand-dyed yarn and give your team a little boost while you're at it!

2025's Booster Club offers 9 Choose-Your-Own-Adventure craft-a-longs, a nine-month-long blanket craft-a-long, and a "serial" set of sweater making craft-a-longs, each with a specific theme that should give you a wide variety of options to suit your crafting plans.

Flash craft-a-longs will also arrive throughout the year - these craft-a-longs will typically be announced with 1-2 weeks notice of the start date and duration will vary based on the size of projects. We try to provide both knit and crochet options for as many craft-a-longs as possible, though there may be a few pattern-specific activities that don't allow for this.

Each featured literary genre from the Woolville Library gives you a choice - will you choose the literary path, or the crafter's path? Complete a project...

All Choose Your own Adventure Craft-A-Longs should be submitted before December 15th.

• Jan. 1- Nov. 1 - Blanket-A-Long - Up to 5 stars
  Complete a blanket! You can choose any blanket for this nine month craft-a-long, we highly recommend crafting along with the kitties with one of our literary-themed blankets.
• Jan. 1- Dec. 1 - Sweater Serials - Up to 5 stars
  2025 will be the year of the sweater! Like your beloved book series, you'll have a hard time stopping at just one - choose at least 2 of 12 single-pattern sweater craft-a-longs to make with us year to complete this craft-a-long.

How it Works

Each craft-a-long officially begins on the start date listed. Pick your yarn, maybe even get ambitious and do a swatch, and cast-on with your fellow ESKers in the Ravelry thread. When your project is done, head to your Progress Dashboard to submit your project and get your stars. Don't forget to also submit our project to the brand new Hook It!, where you earn Yarnathon yards and more stars for every project you finished this year.

Prizes: All Flash Craft-A-Longs award a set number of stars to help your team and help you hit MVP. All regular craft-a-longs will be awarded stars based on crafted yardage chart below. You can combine as many projects as you'd like - just wait to submit until all your projects for the CAL are done.

Requirements for ALL craft-a-longs:

• All yarn should come from Eat.Sleep.Knit except for minor embellishments
• You can combine multiple projects for regular craft-a-longs but please wait to submit until you have completed all projects you plan to make for that craft-a-long.
• All projects should start on or after the start date for the craft-a-long and be completed and submitted before the end date
• All projects should use the patterns or themes specified by the individual craft-a-long requirements
• All projects completed within the craft-a-long calendar timeframe will be eligible for the Ravelry prize drawings for that craft-a-long.
