Knitalongs are great fun whether it's your own face-to-face group knitting the same project together or an online group of friends via the Forum.

You may decide on a big charity knit-in or use a knitalong to learn a new skill, such as lace knitting, together. It's an excellent way to learn whilst at the same time forging new friendships. Use it to bounce ideas off each other and to share your knolwedge.

As your first project, why not suggest to your group that you learn a new skill together? Decide on the skill (eg lace or socks), chose an appropriate pattern and off you go!
It's a great way of sharing the joys and frustrations of mastering a new technique.
