Dear Frien
ds of The Blue Purl,
Yes, there has been an upside to this lockdown-era.
For many of us, it has been a time to recognize and be thankful for what we have, our homes, our families, our friends, our work, and our communities.
It has not been easy, for anyone, but it has forced us all to slow things down, click-off autopilot and focus on what matters.
We know that you matter. And we hope that you feel the same about The Blue Purl.
We have tried to meet your needs in this topsy-turvy time. We keep building out our website and online store; we are offering zoom classes; and we are opening the shop to serve you in as healthy and responsible a way as we can.
In some ways, as the weather these last days has been glorious; with shops opening and roads once again filling up with traffic, it can easily feel like we are settling into the new normal.
Even facemasks are starting to feel routine, and for some a new form of self-expression (Just ask Keri, our #1 Yankees Fan).
But this is, of course, still a work in progress. We look forward to the day when we can really just get back to it, sit at the tables together and enjoy each other in person.
Step by step.
So please, as we continue to tweak or rethink how we serve you, let us know what we can do better or differently. We are eager for new, creative solutions. We know that there are still kinks in our system with occasional busy phone lines (argh!) and technical challenges with our zoom classes (darn). We assure you we are working, working, working to get it all right, everyday, for you.
Think of how far we have already come together.
Think of how we have persevered, together.
Think of how much more we can accomplish, together.
Thank you for hanging in their with us.
We are as committed to you, as ever.
Now, if only the baseball season would start!
