Turn Right to Go Left

Knit Dizzney 2026

So, this year we tried something new.  We tried using Instagram as our main platform for providing information on Knit Disney.  However, we haven't been able to reach all of the veteran Knit Dizzneyteers, so, it's time to go back to what we know, and gently ease into moving everything to Instagram over the next couple of years.  So, this is going to be a long post, so strap in and enjoy the ride!

This year we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the theatrical release of Disney & Pixar's full-length animated feature, "Cars"!  So, Knit Dizzney-goers, Start your needles and hooks!  We're headed to Radiator Springs - Population:  12

Pre-orders are now open for this year's exclusive Knit Dizzney merchandise and will remain open until 8/11/2026.

Lazer Sheep Yarns drew inspiration for Sheep-Boom from Radiator Spring nights in all its neon-lit glory.  It is available on several of Lazer Sheep's popular bases, but for the bundle you can choose between 2 weights:  Merino Sock and DK Superwash

And if you think Sheep-Boom is gorgeous in the daylight, just wait until the blacklights on the dark rides hit it.  Yes, folks...she's black-light reactive!

We are tickled pink to welcome Magicland Yarn as one of our host dyers this year!  Radiator Springs Racers is the inspiration behind Radiator Springs.  It is also available several of Magicland's most popular bases bases.  For the bundle you can choose between 2 weights:  Princess Sock or Dreamy DK.

We are so happy that Not Knots is back again this year!  And just wait until you get a load of this year's project bag!

The project bag includes all Not Knot's usual amazing features, AND the square base?  It's RUBBERIZED!!

 ...KD virtual game is a go!

This year, we're shaking things up and we're hosting a virtual quiz show on the page.  The game starts tomorrow Monday 9/8 and goes on through Saturday 9/13.  We'll be posting a couple questions a day, at random times, but always before 6pm pacific.  These questions are based on the 1937 feature film Snow White. Comment your answer(s) on the respective posts on that day.

First person to answer correctly in the comments will get an entry to a prize drawing.

Second person to answer "creatively" in the comments will also get an entry to the prize drawing.

Creatively could mean the following, and will be selected by the Knit Dizzney team.

1) a screenshot of the answer

2) a sketch of the answer

3) a photo of the answer

Remember, these questions will appear on the Knit DizzneyFacebook page at random times, so if you make sure you follow the page and turn on notifications.

Good luck!

Whistle While you Work...

We are almost ready to ship the orders, so I'm sure you all are getting pretty excited!  I've been trolling Ravelry looking for the perfect project in which to pair these 2 colorways.  Though both colorways are on MCN sock bases with the same fiber content, Wishing Ewe Well's base is a high-twist, which makes it an ever-so-slightly thicker yarn.  This will just create additional texture when knit with Vanity!

For the past few months I have been obsessed with Pipped to the Post by Helen Kennedy.  And I think it will look amazing in "Wishing..." and "Vanity".  So much so that I'm considering organizing a Knit Along once I get back from Knit Dizzney and catch my breath.

We've also put our heads together and found several more knitting and crochet patterns to recommend.

Crochet

Inscribed Diamond Shawl by Rachel Beth.  This might be a good crochet alternative for the KAL!

Stained Glass Shawlette by Kay Adolphson

Cyclic Cowl by Kira K Designs

Friends to the End by Lisa Cook

Knit

Gardens of Giverny Stole by Alina Appasova

Stepping Stones by Julie Knits in Paris

Lapis by Yamagara Knits

Breathe and Hope by Casapinka 

Line Top by Pernille Larsen

Do you know of any other designs that would look good worked up in the collection yarn?  Please share them in the comments!

We're all ears!

Over the past few years we have admired the handmade, crocheted and knitted Disney ears that some of our event attendees have worn to our meet-ups.  

This year I'd love to see as many beautiful stitchers' heads adorned with these beauties as possible, so, we're going to give you an incentive.

Everyone who wears handmade "ears" will get an extra raffle ticket to better their chances at winning one of our door prizes.  The ears can be knit, crochet, or other any other version of hand-made.  And to help even more, I've dropping links to several patterns here in this post.

The Ever After Ears by Nicole Rogowski (crochet)

Crocheted Minnie Mouse Ears and Headband from Repeat Crafter Me

Crocheted Mouse Ears from Whistle and Ivy

And if you want a more thematic set of ears... Mini Poisoned Apples by Svetlana Hurova might be a way to go.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any knitting patterns for the ears, so if someone has a resource, please drop it in the comments, and I'll add it to the list.

Can't wait to see everyone in 2 weeks!!!

Details - Details - Details

Sorry for the radio silence of late, we have all been working diligently on your Heart in a Box Collection orders so that we might ship them out in time for you all to receive them before our event.  But I wanted to let you all know that we haven't forgotten about you.  In fact, I came here to drop some meet-up details for you all, and to let you know that we are, in fact, still alive and well.

Pre-Sales are now closed

 In my rush to prepare for a fiber festival this weekend, I completely forgot to close the Heart in a Box presales.  I've remedied that situation.  However, if you still wish to purchase items in the collection you can still do so.  Just click the link to the Heart in a Box product page and select your items.  We do still have a few Forest Friends project bags left, but just a few.  Also keep in mind that pre-event delivery is not guarantied, and sales for the entire collection will close Sunday 9/21/2025.
