JuniperGraceTube 15 : Anne of Green Gables and Knitting

Hello again my darling Junipers!   If you are new, welcome here!  If you are returning YOU ARE AWESOME WELCOME BACK!  
Summer is in full swing round these here parts and it's good to grab a moment to sit down and chat!

Today we are going to start something really fun!  Let's read 'Anne of Green Gables' by L.M. Montgomery! Wouldn't that be fun??

Ok, time to grab your knitting, grab a delicious beverage, and let's dive in!




The Show notes:

1) Let's start reading 'Anne of Green Gables' by Lucy Maud Montgomery
2) Today's delicious beverage is Cold Brew Coffee brought to you by DISCOVERY COFFEE of Victoria BC!   If you ever get a chance to come and visit my beautiful city, come say hello to me, and we will go get some coffee!

3) So I definitely need to find a better way to hold the postcard wall!  eep!  
SPEAKING OF THE POSTCARD WALL, if you are interested in contributing PLEASE send me a message and request my mailing address :)  I would love to add you to the wall :)

4) Knitpicks is having A HUGE SUMMER SALE!!! WAHOO!!  seriously EVERYTHING is on sale!

5) My Mumsy is on Ravelry now!! MOIRAPAINTS  Go make her your friend and spread the Ravelry love.

6) So you all know how much I love the Bumble Bees!  Well, during the summer time we need to be more mindful of the little bumble bees and help them get enough water.
SO I WANT TO DO A GIVE AWAY!  I have recently installed a bee waterer in my little patio garden. 



 Here's a link on how to make your own.   If you make one, take a picture, share with us in the group and enter to win your very own little bumble bee :)


7) Congratulations to our crayon giveaway winners!   Thank you Stephanie from ABOVE PARR CRAFTS  for your generous giveaway donation! 

8) The Eggy Johnson yarn is one step closer to deciding which pattern to do.   But I need your help!  COME VOTE ON YOUR FAVORITE CHOICE!

9) LOTS OF PLANS FOR THINGS TO KNIT!
 I was truly inspired by this version of the Nuvem shawl designed by Martina Behm knit by ENUGU 

I'm also working steadily away on my Cowichan Sweater mini Knit Along with my darling friend July aka Inky077 of Mooncusser Bags on Etsy.   The pattern we will be using is the 'I'm the Dude Jacket' from Yarnspirations website.
