Dear friends,
I do hope you and yours are safe and well. The corona virus epidemic has certainly changed life as we know it.
The practice of social distancing has its challenges, but I’m keeping up with friends and family through video conferencing (in-person meetings may become obsolete!). I’m entertaining myself by learning to cook with what’s on hand, binge watching PBS shows, and, of course, knitting.
Sadly, social distancing has caused a lot of small businesses to suffer reduced sales. Most of those in the fiber industry, who don’t have much of a cushion to begin with, are truly struggling. To encourage yarn purchases, I’m discounting all of my independent patterns (those published through Ann Budd Knits) in my Ravelry store through midnight Friday, March 30. Use the one-time code KNIT! to receive 50% off the regular price of these patterns.
Stay healthy and knit happy!
Hi Ann,
I have been asked by my 50 year old son to put my social distancing time to good use. He wants me to knit him a Charlie Brown sweater in orange and brown. Good grief!!!!
Is your booklet with that pattern still available?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Be safe and when all this is a distant past I hope to get to one of your retreats.

Hi Karen.
What fun! Unfortunately, the Charlie Brown sweater you see in Ravelry is one knitter’s interpretation of the basic sweater in my book. In other words, she added the zigzag detail herself — it’s not in my book. You might try contacting her directly through Ravelry. Otherwise, the only option is to chart the design yourself.
Knit happy and stay well!
Ann
