Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho...

 ...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.

Knit Dizzney 2025 Meet-up

The event is free, however,  you may end up paying for parking.  The Simba Lot is your parking for Downtown Disney and the cheapest if you're attending the meet-up only.  The first hour of parking costs $10, and any validations are applied after the first hour of paid parking.  However, you can enjoy an additional 3 hours of same-day parking with a $20-minumum purchase from any Downtown Disney location (and who doesn't want some Disney swag?).  Or, if you with to lunch after the meet-up, you can get up to 5 additional hours of same-day parking with validation from any of the Downtown Disney table-service restaurants.  Reservations highly recommended.

Otherwise, if you plan to join us in the parks before and/or after the meet-up, the usual parking areas and fees will apply.  Please refer to this page for the most up-to-date parking information.

So bring your stitching projects and come join the fun.  There will be goodie bags for the first 25 guests, fun games and prize raffles.  You don't want to miss out!

Please visit the Event Page on Facebook and let us know you're coming!

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.

A little over 24 hours left

 ...in our 2025 Knit Dizzney Collection, and a last-minute attempt to tempt any of the fence-sitters out there:  some more gauge swatches....

This is how Wishing Ewe Well knits up.  We LOVE the shifts of subtle color!  I'm considering pairing the 2 skeins from this year's collection together in a single project.

I love how the colorway seems to add texture as well as muted color shifts.  This is gorgeous!

Don't forget to get your pre-order in within the next 24 hours to take advantage of free shipping and a free enamel collector's pin designed exclusively for the Knit Dizzney 2025 "Heart in a Box" collection!

Forest Friends Project Bag

 Wow!  Do I have something gorgeous for you to feast your eyes on.  As if the yarn wasn't enough, right?  I now have pictures of the completed project bag, and let me tell you, I can't wait to get my hands on mine!  Silvia from Not Knots outdid herself this year!  Talk about "fairest of them all!"

The exterior fabric features deer, owls, foxes and bunnies, set amongst lush forest greenery.

The bag features a webbed wrist handle, which is perfect for hanging off your wrist while you knit or crochet in line for your favorite Disney theme park rides.  It also has a beaded, color coordinating parachute cord drawstring with a locking toggle so when you finally get on that favorite ride, your project won't escape as you are either turned upside down, plummeting down a waterfall, or floating weightless out of your seat.

When I said this bag is full of amazing features I wasn't lying!  It sports a square base allowing the bag to sit upright for those time you want to just sit, knit and soak up the atmosphere.  And just check out the themed contrasting lining fabric!

These pockets are just the cutest thing I've ever seen!  There are 3 pockets in all, including the 1-inch needle niche!  This project bag has it all!

There are only a few days left in the pre-sale to place your order, and the Forest Friends Project Bag has almost sold out! 

Secure your Heart In A Box Collection items, today.  The link to the collection presale is HERE.

Collection presales end on Monday, August 4th!
