As you’ll recall (because we’ve talked about it enough), back in May we began the Stora Dimun knit-along.   While many of us have finished shawls…

(Yvonne’s Stora in O-Wool DK in Rust; Pat F.’s Stora, from Tosh Sock in the Norway Spruce colorway, and Steven models Diane L.’s Stora, knit of Smooshy in the Butterpeeps colorway).

…we know that there are some of you out there that haven’t.  (Not naming any names here but two employees of this store are still trudging through this knit-along).

For that reason, we are announcing another STORA SATURDAY!

The weather is going to be hot, with temperatures predicted in the high 90′s.  Our store is going to be cool (as long as the air conditioning holds out — we’re shooting for a balmy 70°).  This would be a great time to work on any of your projects for the Summer of Socks and Lace, which ends on September 5th, the day before labor day!

We’d like to remind you to please submit your entries before then, if at all possible, just so there isn’t a lot of last minute scrambling for weigh-ins.

Also, please mark the date:  Friday, August 27th, we will be having a special guest:  ADRIENNE MARTINI, author of Sweater Quest, will be stopping by to talk about her “mission to knit the Holy Grail of sweaters while illuminating larger issues of perseverance and purpose, relationships and obsession.”  Keep checking the blog for further details!

Remember to stay hydrated, and keep your pets hydrated, during these “dog days of summer.”   Hope to see you soon!
