Discord News – Newsletter #2

Make A Longs

We finished up our Celebrity Sock A Long!

Everyone’s socks looked so so good!  I am so happy with how it went and the participation that we got!  We had some Harry Potter – Evil Queen – Anna Kendrick – Ryan Renolds ---We had all the socks!  Next time I will make sure to save the pics of the finished objects – but since it is only the 2^nd newsletter I am hoping you all will forgive me for that lol

Fall Off Your Needles is coming right along!

It started on September 1 and will go until November 30, 2021 to get us ready for all the snazzy holiday making we have planned to leave until the last minute!  I personally was able to get two pair of socks off my needles and I also casted on a hat… and finished it!  Here are a few things falling off the needles!

The Steven West Mystery Knit A Long starts October 8, 2021! 

It is just a couple days away!!!  EEEEKKKK!!!! I am so so so so Excited!!!  Soooo excited --- that we have decided to have a Pregame party!  Everyone is invited—even if you are not Westing with us!  Come out and have some fun! 

 

The pallets that everyone are posting – they look amazingly delicious!  I cannot wait to see how they work up in a shawl that Steven West deems worthy of a Mystery Knit A Long!

I am very happy to say that I made a little video about it -- I am still learning -- so in the beginning its super super quiet 😑 -- but it does get better with in the first few minutes -- More videos to come!  

This brings me to the next little segment of the newsletter --  

IZ GONNA CALL YOU OUT

-- ok... so maybe its a weird name but i thought it was funny lol --  

The person I'm going to call out is an amazing person and friend (and a tubular knitter/crafter!)

The First Newsletter -- Short but Sweet!

 AM I DOING THIS RIGHT??

When you meet someone special in your life you just want to hold onto them right?  What happens when they live 960.7 miles away... which equates to a 15 hour and 44 minute car ride?  You hold on even tighter and you video chat, text, call? (ok, we arent "calling" kinda people... but we do if we need to)  You ingrain them in every part of your life that you can so they don't feel lonely and out of your mind.  You introduce them to your family and watch them become super awesome friends with your little sister and listen to your kids say "She would get it!!" Then you stare at them in disbelief when they use your bestie from eastie against you... but feel your heart grow...   Yall... this Bestie from the Eastie..  Is ... Holli Beth...  and i know what you are saying... this is supposed to be a knitting blog...   uuhh duuhh it is... but ... it's important for you to understand this... since she is part of the "2" in the 2 Purls -- and though she is not writing this blog -- she is part of it and you will see her in everything!

Soo -- to pull the question back up -- "What happens when they live super far away?"  You create a discord -- make plans for a zoom, blog, and video chat as much as you can!!  We can not thank Natalie Koons from the Love in Stitches Podcast for creating her Love in Stitches membership!  Without her we would have never met!  Links for everyone and everything I talk about will be down below and eventually I will figure everything else out in this blog life and do all the crazy things to help that way!! -- With all that said...  lets get this show on the road!

Fall of your Needles

September 1, 2021 - November 30, 2021

This is a MAL to get finish up those WIPs!!!  Get them off of your needles and get ready to power through makes to start up the holidays --- or even just to get them finished!!  Lets get these done so we can cast on or start more goody goodness!!

Celebrity Sock A Long

September 1, 2021 - September 30, 2021

Make socks about your favorite celebrity!  Maybe that yarn matches the color of their eyes -- maybe, it is their favorite color or the pattern reminds you of something you think they would like!!!  Maybe... it reminds you of a favorite character that they played!  what ever the case may be -- lets just knit them!!

Some members have already started to cast them on!

As you can see our KALs are coming right along and doing fine!  I cannot wait to see what everyone else posts!!

Animals of the Discord!

Of course some of us can't even knit without our favorite animals coming in and showing they support our every making endeavor! 

Thank you so much for reading!!  Do you have some ideas for an article to go on our blog??  Do you want to be a spotlight?  Let me know in our discord!  I would love to show everything you got and to let our people know who is here to show love and support!!
