Reposted from @bayronhandmade *Using a pattern pic for this post because my current real face is busted from lack of sleep and stressing. I promised I'd be back with details for the Make Along that @ritualdyes and I planned together over a week ago. We've considered and reconsidered canceling the virtual Cast On Gathering (no longer calling it a party because that doesn't feel sincere or appropriate.) In the end, we decided that GATHERING is exactly what our souls need right now. So, please prep your #knittingandsewing supplies and head on over to the #bayronhandmade Ravelry group. We've started an #everydaylinedhat Make Along thread, and listed all the details there. Ravelry is free for those who don't have an account. We're looking forward to seeing your faces over Zoom this Friday at 5pm PST . On a personal note, thanks to everyone who has sent emails, DM's, and reposted my work in the last week. I have not been able to reply to everyone because I don't have the mental bandwidth or emotional stamina to reply to hundreds of messages this week. I will, however, pull myself together and be ready to gather with you on Friday night. We're really hoping you'll show up so that we can share in our love of making, even if it is layered with grief. 🙏🏽 The #bayronhandmade account has been about community-building from day one. Now is the time to gather and hold space for each other. Love you lots.
