Knitters Frolic

I received an email late last night with news that the Toronto Knitters Frolic has been cancelled for this year.

The Frolic Planning Committee is very sorry to inform you that this year’s Knitters Frolic, scheduled for Saturday, April 25, 2020 has been cancelled due to concerns about the developing COVID-19 pandemic. 

This decision was not taken lightly, and was made in response to the recommendation from Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, regarding the immediate suspension of all gatherings over 250 people. The health and safety of our vendors, volunteers, and attendees is our utmost priority. 

Although we are temporarily unable to meet in person, we are keen to continue to support our knitting community and vendors “virtually” through the ongoing DEstash/REstash MAL. We hope you will join us via Ravelry. 

In the meantime, please stay well and take appropriate precautions to protect yourself and others. 

Thank you for your understanding and support.– The Frolic Planning Committee

We are sad to hear this but totally understand. The Frolic Planning Committee didn't have a choice.

We are going to put our thinking caps on and come up with something for that day. We're throwing around ideas and will let you know in the next few weeks.

We are being very cautious at my house. There is a lot of hand washing and not very much going out. The unopened thermometer that I bought months ago has come out. In the store we are wiping door handles, phones, the credit card machine, the cash register.....

You might want yarn but don't want to be in contact with others. That's okay. You can call the store to place an order or do it online and choose 'In Store Pick Up' for your shipping option. Give us an hour and call when you get to the store. We will bring it out to the parking lot for you. Curbside service but we won't be on roller skates.

Not a care in the world.
