Good morning lovely knitters!  Fall has returned after our little warmy break last weekend!  Thank goodness!  I love fall SO much! 

From talking to you guys this week and paying attention to my own insane thoughts, there's a quite a bit of anxiety floating around ahead of the election.  I know a lot of us are trying to do everything we can, but I thought a nice NEW mindless, beautiful knit might be just the thing to help us at the end of the day to calm the nerves.

This scarf is made with 2 skeins of Juniper Moon Farm Cumulus Stripes!  And guess what - here's the pattern!  No need to download or go looking anywhere.  It is a simple mistake rib - which is one of my all time favorite simple patterns.

Stripe Me Calm

Size 7 or 8 needles

2 Balls Juniper Moon Farm Cumulus Stripes

CO 41 sts.  

Row 1: (K3, P1) to last stitch, K1

Repeat row 1 until you have just enough yarn to bind off (about a yard to be safe).  BO all sts loosely.  

So, grab your two skeins here and stripe yourself calm before bed!  And the best part is - you'll have a great gift all ready to the holidays barreling toward us!  So many thanks to my lovely sister for making this sample!  <3

Speaking of holidays, there are just TWO of the Surprise Me Advent boxes left.  We're getting to that time!  After Halloween, everyone suddenly realizes that it is time to think about Christmas, so grab one soon so that you get your first choice color!

We *may* also start shipping a few days before the 10th - I think the pattern cards are due this coming week and we're getting overrun by stack of boxes, so you MIGHT get an early shipping notification!  Also - the download for the patterns has been a little bit glitchy for some reason that I have yet to figure out, so there is a download code on the pattern cards for the FULL Advent E-book (8 patterns) just to make it up to you guys for the glitchiness!  :)

We had a new podcast last Sunday - where we show off ALL of those Advent patterns and this week, there will be a NEW tutorial of the I-cord Cast on tomorrow!

Ok - I hope to see you all today!
