Getting ready for the Love Note Knit-Along 💗

Published 9 months ago • 1 min read

Hi friend,
With cast-on day coming up on Wednesday, January 14, I wanted to send a gentle note to help you get ready — without adding anything extra to your plate.

If you have your yarn and pattern, you’re already doing great.

Here are just a few simple things you might want to check in on before we begin:

🧶 Supplies

Make sure you have your yarn ready to go. If you’re knitting with mohair, this is a nice time to wind it (or decide how you’d like to manage the two strands as you knit).

Gather your needles now so you have the sizes you need in a few different lengths.

📐 Gauge (gently!)

Gauge matters for sweaters, but it doesn’t have to feel stressful. If you like to swatch before casting on, Tin Can Knits has a wonderful, very clear post all about checking gauge here:

🧵 Pattern overview

If you’d like to familiarize yourself with the Love Note sweater before Wednesday, Tin Can Knits also has a great overview of the pattern here:

A quick reminder about the knit-along itself:

  • It’s fully online and open to everyone
  • There’s no pressure to start exactly on cast-on day
  • We’ll be knitting together at a relaxed pace, with optional Zoom chats and community support inside Club Ewe Ewe (free to join)

Now the most important thing to do is simply make a little mental (or physical!) space for your knitting. Everything else can unfold as we go.

If you have a question, you can simply reply to this email!

We really looking forward to knitting this sweater alongside you.

xo,
Heather & Karen 💗

Hi friend,There’s a reason the Happy Cowl has been a favorite in our collection since the very beginning. It’s one of those projects that flows smoothly through your hands. Plus, it's knit on US 10 needles so it flies along as you work round and round. Happy Cowl can be worn as a long flowing loop, wrapped twice for cozy everyday warmth, or bundled three times for those extra crisp winter mornings. To get us dreaming of cooler fall weather, get the Happy Cowl PDF Pattern FREE when you grab...

Hi friend,We want to make something meaningful that shows our love, but we also want to be sure it’s something they’ll actually wear—something comfortable, classic, and easy to throw on during a chilly morning dog walk or commute. The secret usually comes down to two simple things: touchable softness and thoughtful simplicity. When you use a 100% fine merino wool that’s completely scratch-free and machine-washable, accessories like rib-knit caps and cozy scarves instantly become daily...

Fluffy Fingering yarn in 21 colors! Hi friend,Do you love the feeling of opening a brand new box of colored pencils? OMG ME TOO! That's how I feel when I look at that photo of Fluffy Fingering up there. All of the fresh, perfect skeins just waiting to jump on my needles. Sadly, they'll never look this perfect again, but that's the point! We create with the supplies we have so we can develop art from our passion. And our passion happens to come in the form of a cheerful basket of super soft...
