Dear Frie
nds of The Blue Purl,
Have you ever considered how much knitting has in common with baseball?
Let us explain.
- Both depend on individual skills.
- Both require a lot of practice.
- Both benefit from teamwork – and coaching.
Baseball will return for a 60 game season. And The Blue Purl is opening its doors.
Ok, so both in a rather limited way, but step by step, life is coming back.
Please, please, remember that we must still all be mindful. The virus remains with us, and so we must continue best practices. We must wear masks, physically distance, and sterilize our hands.
But, and this is a good but, we are excited to once again welcome you through our front door (only 3 at a time) into the shop for limited hours. You can touch the yarn again, to see if it is what you are looking for (just please don’t rub it on your face, no, really.)
There will be only two employees in the shop to help, so we will wind yarn when we can - it may take a seperate pick up. Unfortunately, we can not yet open the tables for knitting or fix mistakes, but we hope that will come in time, too.
If you are not yet comfortable with coming in, we understand, no worries, we will serve you from the door. Honestly, we are more than happy—delighted actually – to do whatever we can to make this as pleasant and fulfilling as possible for you.
So we can meet you at the table, bring yarn to you at the door, or if you prefer, work with you by phone.
These are challenging times. But let’s be clear:
We are in this together. We are stronger together. Let's stay safe together
Thank you,
connect + create
Patty & Wendy
