Hey Friends!! Thank you for your patience!! We got to go to work today!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 We are so thankful to be back in the building making magic and sending it to you!

We have kits in one or two skeins, that includes a pattern from @shannonsq . Already have the pattern we’re recommending? Shannon will happily send you a different one!

Thank you for your continued support, this kit supports Knitted Wit and Shannon Squire Designs!

Thanks to everyone who took part in our 2020 Socks

Thanks to everyone who took part in our 2020 Socks on Vacay/Staycay summer of sock knitting! This summer was such a different beast than any we have experienced before, and we are so proud of you all for being present and making or starting socks for this KAL!

Because pandemic and smokageddon, we aren’t going to share winning images as we usually do. Instead, here is a photo of Lorajean’s sock and Shannon’s pile of finished socks, and a big (and we mean) huge virtual hug for each of you. Without further ado, our winners:

* @mldwest for most socks knit! She is currently working on pair 25, folks
* @feralknitter for zooieset/most multitasking (knitting a sock at the zoo whilst breastfeeding)
* @lady_bee_19 for so many wonderful Staycay shots
* @drterriko for beaching it up, and also for knitting with a toddler
* @kellerko for hammock-y-est shot, which inspired us to get in our own hammocks
* @jessiewhitish for deep-diving into some vintage reality TV for her very staycay-ish staycaying
* @auntbene for knitting socks on a boat with a dog (which sounds like the beginning of a very amazeballs children’s book)
* @freckledcrafts for knitting socks on a rock (again with the children’s book rhymes!), looking out over the prettiest beach I want to be at RIGHT NOW
* @jennakateknits for ALSO making us want to go to the beach with her pretty photos and pretty socks
And finally,
* @misschriscrafts for making such dreamy socks so early in the summer and making us happy

As always, there were so many fantastic photos and socks that we wanted to honor this year, and it was really hard to zero in on just 10. We love you and appreciate you and hope knitting socks with us this summer was as bucket-filling for you as it was for us.

Winners, please message @shannonsq with your preferred colorway (and if you want Sock or DK), pattern choice (all of my patterns are listed on my website at shannonsquire.com), and mailing address. We’ll get your yarn out in a few weeks.

Look! It's @kimbelina79, your knitalong hostess wi

Look! It's @kimbelina79, your knitalong hostess with the September #herstory2020kal colourway! (Since it's still September, I'm considering this post to still be on time.)
The Indigenous Excellence colorway celebrates the indigenous heritage of Yalitza Aparicio. Aparicio is a Mexican actress who made her film debut in 2018’s Roma, which centers the Indigenous experience in Mexico. The critically acclaimed film tells the story of a live-in housekeeper of Indigenous descent, who code-switches between the family she serves and her co-worker, who is also Mixtec.
This month I'm knitting up a pair of Ringwood Socks; the simple pattern shows off the colourway beautifully (and it's easy enough that I can knit it while homeschooling -- even during math!).

Friends! It’s the last day of #socksonvacay2020

Friends! It’s the last day of #socksonvacay2020 or #socksonstaycay2020...I hit my goal of casting on a toe. @aneedlerunsthroughit always making the best stitch markers. I’m gonna be honest, I can’t think to write much. The air quality is shit in Portland. It’s shit even in our house. We’re hoping to be able to go back to work on Tuesday, praying for rain Monday night. So thank you for your grace and patience as we try to muddle through. We’re thinking of all our friends in the evacuation areas, we hope you are safe.
Fill out your census if you haven’t please. Confirm you’re registered to vote and vote! Please continue in your anti racist work. Wash your hands. Wear a mask.

Update: we are sold out of the kits with the needl

Update: we are sold out of the kits with the needle gauge! Kits of yarn and pattern are still available! We are so excited about our second Monthly Care Package! Our goal with these is to give us all a little hug: you all, because you get a package of amazing things created by our amazing team; us, because we get to play with color and work with these other amazing folks to design these items/put these kits together.

For September, we want to lean into Feeling our Feelings, because we are all knee-deep in them, aren’t we? The yarn we're including is one of our most soothing bases: Single Fingering, which is soft and shimmery and such a delight to work with. You can choose one skein or two for your package, to make a smaller shawlette or a larger shawl. The needle gauge @aneedlerunsthroughit created made our hearts expand in the most delightful way, and Shannon's shawl patterns are the perfect complement to this yarn. As with all of our care packages, make sure you leave your preferred email address in the notes section when you order, and she'll reach out to get your pattern to you.

Head to our Etsy shop to snag September Care Package! Packages will ship the week of 9/14.

My goal for #SocksOnVacay2020 / #SocksOnStaycay202

My goal for #SocksOnVacay2020 / #SocksOnStaycay2020 was to cast on a sock, and I am sooooo close to reaching that goal! Which of these skeins should be that sock toe? Help me decide, and maybe I’ll even spend part of my time with family getting a few stitches on my sock needles!

@shannonsq & I have decided to extend the deadline for Socks on Vacay/Staycay by almost a week. The reasons are many, but one of them is to give us just a bit more breathing room in this, the absolute most weird, difficult, and unconventional summer we have ever experienced. Share your sock projects here by Sunday, September 13th, and we’ll declare winners on Monday, September 14th. Remember that what we really want to see, above all else, is you having fun making your socks. The rules are fairly simple: knit socks using my yarn and Shannon’s patterns, take photos, share on IG, tag us (@knittedwit & @shannonsq) and use hashtags #SocksOnVacay2020 / #SocksOnStaycay2020. We’ll take a trip through the photos on Monday, and share winners then.

This week was heavy for a rainbow of reasons. Blac

This week was heavy for a rainbow of reasons. Black lives matter and need to continue to be centered. Police brutality must end. Change has to happen. Please contact your elected officials, demand the change you want. Vote them out of office in November if they don’t make the changes.
We’re inching closer to the beginning of the school year, and I’m sitting in a zoom meeting about middle school right now. The equity or the lack of equity is glaring. While I’m grateful for what the district has planned, the system was created to benefit white families so it’s never going to be equitable. Okay, back on track...Thinking about the beginning of school and how that will look in our household is a lot. Three kids, on three devices...So I’m taking deep breaths, bringing grace for myself, my kids, the teachers, and the classroom. I’m thinking about having boundaries with my availability: I won’t be on my phone from 8am-2 pm so that I’m not frustrated when I get pulled away from the work I’m doing on my phone. I’ve also put an auto-responder on my emails to set expectations of how quickly I can respond to emails. Are you prepping for the school year? Are you making changes? Are you bracing yourself? Are you in denial? I definitely have been...There have been some bright moments on this rainbow: oldest kid has standing walks around the track with a friend, new books from @maggiemaesbooks always brightens our day, so many beautiful new colors were created this week to share with you over the next few months. The sunsets have been spectacular. Y’all, this attitude of gratitude is helping. Please continue to use your voice to help the most marginalized. Wash your hands, wear a mask, don’t be racist.

I want to thank @fifknits, @tsinbikee, @hanksandne

I want to thank @fifknits, @tsinbikee, @hanksandneedles, @shannonsq, @sundaughterknits, @justinechenel, and @rasmusknits for working through a pandemic to make this collection happen!!

Thank you also to all the local yarn stores that purchased the collection and have kept our dye pots busy!! If you are excited about the patterns please support the work of the designers and purchase, share, and follow them! To see the list of the shops stocking the collection please visit our website, knittedwit.com.

We have released our newest yarn base, Sport, into

We have released our newest yarn base, Sport, into the world through a collaboration with awesome designers and LYSs (Local Yarn Stores), and we’re going to spend a bit of time each day from 8/19 through 8/25 sharing some information on the fabulous designers we had the honor to work with for this. Check out our website (http://knittedwit.com/fall-sport-collab/) for a list of all of the LYSs that are carrying this very special set of Fall-themed colors. The yarn is available exclusively through them for now!

The final pattern for our Fall Sport Promotion is also the largest; Alyssa Rasmussen (@rasmusknits) has created the squishiest hug of a wrap, called What’s the Buzz, and we are all in! It’s a veritable sampler of a piece, and is the perfect canvas to create your own work of wearable art. People will be asking “What’s the Buzz?” everytime you wrap this scrumptious piece around your shoulders. Make sure you’re following Alyssa; she’s publishing this pattern on 8/28! In Alyssa’s own words: The wrap is inspired by one of my favorite events at my local art museum; florists choose selected works of art & recreate them in flower arrangements. The museum also has beehives on the rooftop, which keeps the local bee population healthy. The textured stitches and color palette remind us of fall (the busiest time for bees) and all the work they do to pollinate crops & keep our ecosystem healthy. A portion of the total profits from the What’s the Buzz Wrap will be donated to the museum so they can keep sharing the arts with school children all over the state & keep the hives buzzing!

Today, we are diving into Deep Summer, because Sönna Schuttner (@sundaughterknits) designed this gorgeous cowl to celebrate the end of the summer season. The subtle stripes in Golden Delicious and Pollen are the perfect backdrop for a lacey leaf motif in deep Cedar. Honoring the deepest summer days, this cowl is sure to carry you through all four seasons in style! Sönna is publishing on 8/28, so keep your eyes peeled for this fab release!
