The Forest Fox Stitch Along will be here before we know it! There's a lot of great information in the previous blog post (especially if you're interested in purchasing a supply kit) so you'll probably want to go check that out. Click the link below to see it:

Forest Fox Stitch Along Information

In today's post there are two important details for you below...a supply list and dates for the stitch along. First, let's talk about the schedule.

Forest Fox Stitch Along Schedule

• There will be FOUR parts to this stitch along.

• The stitch along will start on Wednesday, October 26th.

• After the start date, the second part will be published a week later, and then the next two parts will each be posted a week apart. So here's what the schedule looks like:

Part One - Wednesday, October 26th

Part Two - Wednesday, November 2nd

Part Three - Wednesday, November 9th

Part Four - Wednesday, November 16th

Remember - once they've been published, all four parts will stay on the blog for the duration of the Stitch Along and for a short while after it finishes. So if you don't finish your hoop while the SAL is running, don't panic! At some point after the SAL is over, I will remove everything from the blog and it will all be available in the Lolli and Grace shop. Therefore, if it's going to be a while before you're able to finish it, you are welcome to print out the instructions and patterns for your personal use later.

Supply List

Want to purchase a Forest Fox Supply Kit that includes everything you need for this SAL instead of gathering your own supplies? I got you covered! Click on the link below to get one:

Forest Fox Supply Kit

The supply kits often sell out VERY quickly, so I would definitely not delay if you want one.

However, if you are not purchasing a supply kit, you can purchase the PDF patterns (this includes both sizes) and transfer the pattern onto your fabric yourself. There will be detailed instructions in the Part One video tutorial about how to do this. You can purchase the PDF patterns by clicking on the link below:
