Scorpio’s magic is here, can you feel it? This could potentially be the most powerful pattern of the blanket. Go deep with it and just know this piece will transform any space it lives in. 

The vibe for the month no matter what your sign is, from our resident astrologer, Ramona:

Hi Humans, it’s Ramona here with your monthly mini horoscope. Each month I will provide your much-needed vibe check and help you stay inspired for our cosmic journey together. 

Don’t forget to purchase the full Astrology Experience add-on to the KAL where you get added perks like access to the monthly “The Astrologer is IN “ knitting circle and astrology zoom session where we work on our squares, talk astrology and go deeper into the themes happening this month, and give you a safe place to ask all your knitting and astrology questions. 

Welcome to Scorpio season—time to transform into whatever magic the pattern holds. Stop being fixated on something you can’t figure out. Let it go, babe. 

Vibe check: are you feeling ok? Sometimes we get so obsessed with the details we forget to check in on our feelings. All of them are ok as long as we express them. 

Are you being too obsessive about the pattern and making your work perfect? We suggest letting that part die out and just renew into something else. Imperfections give our work character!

See you next month, 

Xo Ramona
