Free Virtual Wine Night Invitations For Isolation Parties

April 11, 2020 by Shellie Wilson

Virtual parties have become the only way we can stay connected to family and friends. We decided what is a party without an invitation right? These invitations are easy to save and e-mail. You may even want to go old school and send them via snail mail. No matter which way you the idea is the same. Invite friends and or family together to share in a gathering. It is not just about socialising it is about giving each person something to do, something to prepare for and for some of us, a reason to get out of our Pajama’s.

Online wine sales have sky rocketed and whilst I think most “wine drinkers” have stock in the cupboard we have included a few online siets you can buy from. Did you know Amazon has Wine?

Another great idea is to grab a wine a month box for you and a friend and then share in the wine tasting together at the same time via ZOOM or facetime.  But you really don’t have to be tasting the same wine to be connected in the moment. Perhaps you have different bottles of wine but you can still give notes and if it sounds good the other person can order that next time.

Sometimes Wine tasting tours, groups and gatherings are actually nothing to do about the wine and these online parties are no different, just a reason to get together is these crazy isolation times.

Looking for something a little more fun? Check out these Wine Tasting Games.

Save the files below and share the Invitations to your friends.

Knit an Easy Lacy Top for Summer

I love the look of mesh tops for summer, but I don’t know that I would ever actually wear one that’s full of giant holes, even though I admit they look cool (in both senses of the word) on other people.

What I would wear, though, is something that’s still lacy but maybe a little bit more subdued, like this chevron lace knit top from Yarnspirations. 

This easy to knit T-shirt style top is worked flat in two pieces from the bottom up, using and easy lace pattern that’s a repeat of 10 stitches and four rows (though the wrong side rows are just purled, so there’s only two rows you need to learn the pattern on). 

It has little cap sleeves that are worked as part of the top by casting on stitches where you need them. 

If you’re new to lace knitting this is a good one to try because the pattern includes both written and charted instructions, and the only skills you need are yarn over, knit two together, slip slip knit and slip 1 knit 2 together pass the slipped stitch over (which makes a centered decrease). 

There are four size options available (which they claim is enough to cover XS to 5XL), with finished chest measurements ranging from 38.5 inches (that’s 98 cm) to 59 inches, or 150 cm. The amount of ease would vary widely depending on your size and the size garment you choose. For example the largest size is said to fit a chest measurement from 5258 inches/132-147.4 cm, which gives you a range of ease from 1-7 inches, or 2.5 to 17.78 cm, depending on your size. Just something to be aware of when you think about how you want it to fit. 

The project calls for Red Heart Cotton Breeze yarn, which isn’t a yarn I’ve tried yet, but it’s a DK weight acrylic and cotton blend, which should make a lightweight top that’s great for summer. 

Grab the free pattern from Yarnspirations.
