Gonna Take You There

But first, just a quicky update for everyone who ordered this year's collection.  The Bee's Knees is finally on it's way to CA.  It should arrive at Lazer Sheep by the middle of the week, so you will all be definitely receiving your orders well before the event.

Speaking of event, we now have final details for the meet up.  It's unfortunate there just aren't any indoor venues on premises anymore that can accommodate our needs, so...We are going back to basics...all the way back to the first ever Knit Dizzney meet-up!  

Disneyland Resort Picnic Spiral
(between tram drop-off and Disneyland entrance gate)

Sunday, September 15, 2024
 11:00am - 1:00pm

(Click the map to embiggen)

Please give yourself plenty of time to park, get through security and make your way over to the site.  Please visit the Disneyland Parking info section of the website to help you plan (scroll down to Downtown Disney District Parking section for the most reasonable parking fees option, and plan your day accordingly)  If you park in the Simba Lot, you will have many opportunities to grab a snack and refreshments to enjoy during the meet-up.

As usual, we will have goodie bags for the first 28 Knit Dizzneyteers to arrive.  There will also be door prizes (with opportunities to obtain additional tickets for them throughout the meet-up), a grand prize, and plenty of time for social stitching, so please bring your WIPS!

Oh!  And be on the lookout for our online game the week prior to the meet-up!  You'll earn chances to win a special prize available only to those who participate.  So if you haven't done so, follow us on Facebook (yes I'm looking at you IG-only peeps)!

Another reason to follow us on Facebook:  Be on the lookout for an event on the Knit Dizzney Facebook page that will  have all the details and a way for you all to let us know you're coming!

This is getting SO exciting!

What's on the Menu?

Sorry for the radio silence these last couple of weeks.  Dizzy Blonde Studios was prepping for the Southern Comfort Fiber Market in Charlotte NC, which was last weekend.  We've now had plenty of time to recover and catch you all up on Knit Dizzney 2024 happenings.

This year, we decided to forego having a knit and a crochet pattern designed exclusively for our event.  Instead, we are recommending our favorite existing designs that will think will work well with our colorways.  We hope you find some inspiration for your Knit Dizzney 2024 projects!

Do you have any pattern recommendations for this year's colorways?  Please share them in the comments if you do!

Whatcha Swatchin'?

 Just a quicky post for all you who might be on the fence about the yarn, and wanted to see what both colorways look like swatched up.  Your wait is now over.

"The Bee's Knees" knit sample was swatched using a size 2 across 36 stitches

The crochet sample was swatched using a Size C crochet hook across 41 chains.

"Dig A Little Sheeper" was swatched in both knit and crochet in Lazer Sheep Yarn's signature lightning bolt swatch.  And I must admit, Ray (the lightning bug) does approve, I GUARANTEE!

And as always, your results may vary.

And while we're at it, let's have another look at that amazing Notions Clutch!  Remember, this adorable clutch is made for 85% upcycled materials, hand-crafted right here in the USA by the owner of Dragonfish Handmade Goods herself, not farmed out to be constructed overseas.

There's a little more than 24 hours left in the for the pre-sale to receive your orders before the date of the event.  But there's 8 more days until the pre-sale closes completely.  So time to strike while the iron's hot!
