Free Virtual Wine Night Invitations For Isolation Parties

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.

I guess I’m on a bit of a double knitting tear these days. Just the other day I shared some double knitting potholder patterns, and if you’re ready for a more complex double knitting pattern, I would love to recommend this one to you.

The Puppet Master Scarf from Katharina Kuntz is a long double knit scarf with a variety of Muppet characters on it. I see Kermit and Ms. Piggy, of course, as well as Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Beaker, Rowlf the Dog, Rizzo the Rat and Sam Eagle to name a few. The scarf is densely packed with characters who are different colors on each side.

They’re also potentially different colors from each other, which is shown in the sample here. There are charts in the pattern that show you how to work the whole scarf in two colors or use multiple colors for the different characters.

As shown the scarf uses 20 colors of fingering weight yarn. You’ll need about 656 yards/600 meters of each if you use two colors, and a range for the different characters if you do them all in different colors, but only a couple of them take more than 50 yards. You could definitely use leftovers from other projects on this one.

The finished scarf is about 6.4 inches/16.3 cm wide and 72.4 inches or 184 cm long.

It would definitely be a labor of love but this looks like such a fun project and I’m sure you would get a lot of attention from knitters and non-knitters alike when you wear it!

While this project looks a lot more complicated than those pot holders I just shared, the skills are the same. You just really need to pay attention to the charts to make sure you’re making your characters look how they are supposed to. There are also photos and links to video tutorials to help you along the way.

You can grab a copy of the pattern on Ravelry.
