Happy work in progress Wednesday (wip)! Share your Happy work in progress Wednesday (wip)! Share your WIPs and add #knittedwitwip and we’d love to share! Repost from @changeyourfatecreations • Fun fact about me: I love to knit! I taught myself to crochet when I was in college, and took a knitting class from the lovely @yarnfun518 shortly after. It’s been nothing but knit and purl since! For the past several months I’ve been thinking of ways to grow Change Your Fate Creations, and something I’m excited about introducing this year are some knitting/crochet/cross stitch/crafting project bags. Of course these bags can be used for just about anything, from diaper bags to big toiletry bags, Ear carriers, and more. Your only limit is your imagination. Hope you enjoy this sneak peak of the Boutique Bag, more info will be coming your way this Friday. Yarn is by @knittedwit and @forbiddenfiberco Stitch Markers by @aneedlerunsthroughit Pattern is Confetti by @veerarain #changeyourfatecreations #disneyland #disneycaliforniaadventure #waltdisneyworld #disneyworld #magickingdom #epcot #disneyhollywoodstudios #disneyanimalkingdom #disneyparks #happiestplaceonearth #mostmagicalplaceonearth #bestdayever #disnerd #disneysmallshop #disneyhandmade #magicalmakers #supportthemagic #disneytravel #disneyfamily #disneymemories #disneylifestylers #disneygram #disneylove #knitting #knittersofinstagram #frozen #handdyedyarn #handknitsweater #knittedwitwip
We are getting the February ShannaJean yarn shippe We are getting the February ShannaJean yarn shipped out to our LYS partners, and realized we haven’t talked about this collaboration in a while! The ShannaJean Club is the culmination of years of ever-deepening best-friendship between @shannonsq and myself. We have known each other for years (I used to work at her former LYS!), and have gotten closer and closer every year. A few years ago, we decided to collaborate on a yarn-and-pattern club that works equally well as a LYS partnership and a stash-diving exercise. The ShannaJean Club is now in its second year, and we are very excited about what we’ve got on our horizon. The first image above shows all of the components in the Intro Kit, which is available at our LYS partners (you can find them on shannajean.com, and you can access that by clicking the link in our IG profile). The kit includes: a skein of our Targhee Aran in colorway Friendship Bracelet; a progress keeper from @aneedlerunsthroughit; a ShannaJean zippered notions bag; and a postcard containing information on accessing the club patterns. The first pattern is a pair of garter-stitch based slippers, called Slip-Slip Slippers (second image), and (spoiler ahead), the second pattern will do for your head what these do for your feet. We hope you join us through your LYS this year!
Goddess is available in the shop! We have it dyed Goddess is available in the shop! We have it dyed up and ready on Pixie Plied, Single Fingering, Sock, DK and Worsted. Why did we feature Beyoncé as our first HerStory recipient of 2019? Oh, let us count the ways: she is unapologetically herself, a Black woman in the United States today. She tells the story of the struggle, and celebrates her culture in a way that is empowering and uplifting. Her recent work is all about telling stories of and for the women who have been left out of so many conversations, those who haven’t had a seat at the table. She uses her art to broaden feminism and center blackness in a time in which we are seeing more in-your-face racism and misogyny than we have seen in a long time. Beyoncé’s public persona has taken on almost-mythic proportions, striking even in a society that lives to mythologize its celebrities. And she has taken full advantage of that mythologizing, using her celebrity to elevate the black voice, to celebrate Black womanhood, and to refuse to allow even those who have put her on that pedestal to write her narrative. In short, Beyoncé is everything we need in today’s society, plus her music is catchy as hell. Our Beyoncé-inspired colorway, Goddess, takes both its color inspiration and its name from Beyoncé’s centering of Black feminism, Black beauty, and black motherhood. The gold in the skein is directly inspired by her 2017 Grammy performance, in which an unapologetically pregnant Queen Bey paid homage to multiple goddesses who signify womanhood and fertility, from the African water spirit Mami Wata to Yoruba water goddess Oshun to Hindu goddess Kali. All three of these deities embody feminity, sexuality, and fertility, and Beyoncé channeled every single one in her performance. If you haven’t watched that performance, we strongly suggest you do so, and quickly. The other end of the skein is inspired by the stunning floral arrangements that surrounded her in the pregnancy and birth announcements she shared on Instagram in 2017. Continued in comments
Hello friends! I found Bubble Bath on Sock and it’s listed in the shop! I don’t know about you, but a bubble bath sounds so freaking dreamy. What’s your favorite thing to add to your bath? I usually add bath salts, candles on the edges of the tub for sure, and lately dried flowers. #sassyholidays #knittedwitsassyholidays
January's care package is heavenly ;) The care pac January's care package is heavenly ;) The care package includes a skein each of Single Fingering and Fairy Floss in Celestial, Shannon Squire's Socially Distant Shawl, and a sheet of stickers! Decorate a letter to someone you're missing, an inspirational quote to keep you going, or brighten up your planner! A little about the shawl pattern: Shannon released this pattern last year, at the beginning of the pandemic, and we are still knee-deep in social and physical distancing. The Socially Distant shawl is an ode to the days we’ll be able to be physically together once again… Limited quantities in the shop ready to ship! Link in profile.
Happy work in progress (wip) Wednesday!! We are so Happy work in progress (wip) Wednesday!! We are so excited to highlight your gorgeous wips!! Use the hashtag #knittedwitwip so we can’t find you and show off your makings :) Read on for more about the color and design Repost from @kimbelina79 • Linen Stitch + Hand-Dyed Variegated Yarn = Magic! This past weekend I cast on for #grotine with this gorgeous skein of Single Fingering from @knittedwit and it was love at first stitch! (I’m determined to finish this by next week so I need to knit 10 grams worth of yarn each day to bind off by Tuesday.) Metallic Sweat Bee is part of Knitted Wit’s upcoming spring release of colours and I’m so happy to have snagged an early skein. 😊 #shawlknitting #knittedwit #knittedwitwip #wipwednesday #linenstitch #cdickdesigns

Happy Monday! We’re re-releasing our HerStory co Happy Monday! We’re re-releasing our HerStory colors of years before and first up is Great Heights from January of 2020. We have Sock and Single Fingering ready to ship in the shop! Read on to learn more! Junko Tabei, the first woman to summit Mount Everest and complete the Seven Summits. Tabei came to mountain climbing through sheer force of will; her family didn’t have the money to support her burgeoning hobby as a child, so it wasn’t until she was in college that she was able to fully pursue her mountaineering dreams. She founded the Ladies Climbing Club in 1969, whose slogan was “Let’s go on an overseas expedition by ourselves.” It was revolutionary, to create a woman-only club focused on a male past-time such as mountain climbing; many men thought Tabei’s interest was feigned, solely to secure a husband. Mountain climbing is not an inexpensive endeavor, so a part of Tabei’s focus was in funding her club’s expeditions. Securing funding for the summiting of Mount Everest seemed an insurmountable obstacle, but Tabei and her team were finally able to do so (while still being tasked with coming up with the equivalent of a year’s salary each) in the early 1970s. They were told, quite frequently, that they “should be raising children instead,” but their passion for climbing carried them through. The climb itself was arduous, as any climb to the summit of Mount Everest is. Tabei and her team were caught in an avalanche (like literally buried in snow), but still persevered, and on May 16, 1975, Tabei and her Sherpa guide Ang Tsering reached the summit of Mount Everest, the first woman ever to do so. But Tabei didn’t stop there; over the next 30 years, she would go on to become the first woman to complete the Seven Summits (the highest points on all seven continents), and would eventually summit mountains in over 76 countries, all while raising a family and, for the final four years of her life, fighting cancer. Her personal life-mantra was: “Do not give up. Keep on your quest.” She kept on her quest, throughout her life, inspiring countless other women to push through the sexism, misogyny, and complete unwillingness to recognize that a woman could and would want to
Y’all know how much rainbows give @shannonsq & m Y’all know how much rainbows give @shannonsq & me life, right? Well, we decided to spend the entire year with a rainbow, while working on a Temperature Project to mark our march through this year. Because who doesn’t want/need rainbows during these tough times... We have put together 2 different rainbow palettes: Rainbow Magic, a neon one, and Happy Birthday, a bright but not neon one. We’ve also put together an entire guide to the project, which includes resources and Shannon’s Persistence pattern, tweaked specifically for this project. We’ll be shipping the first batch of orders next week, and the second in about 2 weeks, and the link to the ShannaJean Etsy shop is in my IG profile if you’d like to join the fun! (You can also purchase Shannon’s Persistence pattern separately and get the guide if you’d prefer to put your own yarn together or stash-dive). PS this project is an offering from our heart to yours to bring comfort and stability, not a distraction. We found incredible community in making our Attitude of Gratitude shawl and want to continue that all year through this.
Remember Sassy Holiday colors? We’re bringing th Remember Sassy Holiday colors? We’re bringing them back! We’ll share two new colors a month over the next year. Previously these colors were only available at yarn shops. January has Bubble Bath Day at the beginning of the month and I really couldn’t think of a more fitting color for the month! Baths are the best in the winter, trying to get warm and relaxed after a busy day. The colors hint at the iridescent colors of bubbles, and it’s just the happiest! Available in the etsy shop on Pixie Plied, Single Fingering, and Worsted.
