Contemplative Knitting for the Advent Season

When: Dec 1, 2017
6:00 pm
Where: Longmont Yarn Shoppe
Details:

Join us as we launch 2 options for you to choose from in a Contemplative Knitting Project to wrap up 2017.  On Friday, December 1st from 6 pm to 8pm at the back table of LYS join Jennifer Miller and Gail to cast on one of 2 knitted projects intended to connect you closer to the meaning of the season. 


Lila and Claudine's Yarn & Gifts, our sister Yarn Club Store in Minnesota has crafted another amazing Advent Scarf Pattern with the help of Linda Gesling and Georgia.  Starting December 1st for 21 days there is a daily devotion and new lace pattern.  Check out the pattern and yarn requirements on Ravelry by clicking here!


Christina Campbell of The Healthy Knitter
has also crafted her 2nd Peace timed project.  Each day beginning on December 1st with the pattern's release participants will get a tip on how to integrate more peace into your life.  This year's project is a triangle shaped shawl.  The theme for this year is the “ripple effect.” The pattern is affectionately referred to as “ripples of peace.” When each one of us chooses peace, the effects extend or ripple to others.  Click here for more information about Project Peace 2017.

At 7 pm December 1st Liena Apsukrapsa will join the group to speak briefly about Advent and her book - Advent to Epiphany, available at LYS.



LYS has abundant love for practices of peace and kindness, and we are proud to support these 2 groups by purchasing their patterns, providing the space for community and an abundant selection of yarns to complete these projects.  Both are doable in the month of December. 

Won't you join us?   The project will wrap up on Thursday December 21st (World Wide Knit In for Peace Day) with a celebration from 6 - 7 pm of your project. 

There is no charge to participate in this gathering....we simply ask you purchase your yarn and patterns through Longmont Yarn Shoppe!
