Moving Forward Wrap Knit Along Cast On Party!

Friday, Sept 11th at 5PM Pacific / 8pm Eastern

The Moving Forward Wrap is shaped like a large arrow.  I designed it during a time of personal transition when I had to make important and difficult decisions in order to move my life forward. I think working on this project as a community might help us move through 2020’s many layers of pain, loss, grief, illness, anxiety, loneliness, and uncertainty. Does this sound like your experience? You’re not alone.⁣ Many of us also live in areas where Shelter-In-Place orders are still active. Physical isolation does not have to be emotional isolation! Let's use this project as a means of craft therapy that produces a beautiful arrow-shaped wrap we can all wear as a sign of resilience. Please share this with a friend you think could use some community support. 

The wrap is knit with fingering weight yarn. The original sample was knit using @avfkw Flock, and was published in their 2019 lookbook. You can also stash-bust, as the wrap has 5 sections that we will be working on over 5 weeks! We will have occasional check-ins over Zoom to ensure we stay on track and help each other move forward, not only with this project but in life too.
