    Day 1-2: Welcome/get to know you posts, Materials List, Yarn Hauls & Gauge Check!

    Hey friends! Are you ready to jump into this KAL?

    First things first let me introduce myself 🙂 I am Sierra from @sierrascraftycreations on insta! I am 25 years old (or young however you wanna look at it), I reside in Ohio with my silly husband and our 4 wild fur babes. I have been crocheting for about 5 years now, and knitting for almost 2! I am still new to the blogging world, but absolutely love this community of makers and wanted to create some awesome free content for everyone to enjoy! This will be my first ever KAL on my blog so I am very excited to see how it all goes 🙂

    Hi! I’m Danae from WillowheartDesigns and I’m excited to do a KAL! I learned crochet first years ago, and then taught myself to knit with YouTube and chopsticks. Now I dabble in both. This will be my very first garment and I’m looking forward to learning something new!

    Hi! I’m Leah, shopeloiseandi on Instagram 🙂 I live in New Mexico with my husband, my daughter, and my son!

    I made my first Ohana top as a test knit for Sierra, but I’ll be making a 3t for a friend’s daughter during the knit along and later one for myself! They’ll be perfect for our move back to Florida this summer ?

    My daughter’s Ohana top was done in mint & cream I Love This Cotton.  I’ll be using the leftover yarn for the 3t I plan to make. For myself, I’m going with a blush pink & cream.

    I can’t wait to see what colors everyone else is using! Ohana1
