See you real soon!

Can't wait for this weekend with my fellow Disney friends and stitchers. If you didn't get the email with this Saturday's information, please check your junk/spam folders. Otherwise, email me at the address you can find on my website: https://beachbunnyyarns.com See you real soon!

The Love Experts Say...

 ...sharing is caring.

The Beach Bunnies, and the Dizzy Blonde all feel strongly about giving back to our communities through conservation.  

And towards that end we are both donating a portion of our proceeds to this year's chosen non-profit, Marine Science Center of Ponce Inlet.  This education and marine rescue center takes in more sea turtles than any other on Florida's east coast, and is near and dear to The Bunnies' hearts.  So, the more we sell, the more we get to contribute!

Speaking of which, the last day to order your 2026 Stitch the Magic Collection items and bundles will be January 8, 2026, so get your orders in while you still have time.  

Planning on attending this year's meet-up?  Be sure to register for either the Townsfolk ($2) level registration (all of which will also be donated to the Marine Science Center) or The Royal Treatment ($30) level.  Both come with event attendance registration, but the Royal Treatment also includes a totally awesome swag bag filled with all sorts of amazing goodies!

Stitch the Magic 2026 is just 1 month away, and we cannot wait to spend time with you all at the Happiest Place on Earth!

Make Sure You are on the Guest List!

 (You won't want to miss out)

Registration for the meet up event is now open.  Save the date and take part in the cooperative efforts of the all-Florida fiber artists as we celebrate the 2026 theme of Frozen.  We've created custom colorways and a themed project bag.

Our fun-filled meet-up will be at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort on Saturday, January 31, 2026.  Bring your latest project, share your Arendelle knowledge, meet more people who are both Disney fans AND fiber enthusiasts.  

Last year we received several bogus registrations which capped our event and prevented a few deserving stitchers from attending our meet-up.  To prevent this from happening again this year, general attendance (Townsfolk level) is $2, every cent of which goes toward this year's charity donation to the Marine Science Center of Ponce Inlet.

We also have the Royal Treatment registration - this includes your attendance registration AND a totally awesome swag bag filled with commemorative goodies you can't live without for $30.  Swag bags can only be picked up at the event; none will be shipped.  There is a very limited quantity of the Royal Treatment bags, so register for yours early before they sell out!  More information will be sent after registration.

Merchandise purchase is not mandatory to attend the event, but we appreciate you supporting our small businesses.  There are no limits to the quantity of items you can purchase.  Or you can order by the 'bundle'.  Please go here for more details.

Do You Wanna Build a Bundle?

This is the moment you've been waiting for:  The Frozen Collection in its entirety!

Prices are posted with each item of the collection.

(Click the pic to embiggen for more detail)

As we have in past years, we are offering special bundle pricing however, the bundling is a little different this year.  We're offering 2 separate bundles:  

The Elsa Bundle - (Choose either Knit pattern or Crochet pattern for your desired free digital pattern)

• "Alone and Free" from Dizzy Blonde Studios; 
• "Conceal, Don't Feel" from Beach Bunny Yarns; and
• Frozen Project Bag from YBSquare.

or

The Anna Bundle - (Choose either Knit pattern or Crochet pattern for your desired free digital pattern)

• "Fixer-Upper" from Dizzy Blonde Studios; 
• "Not THAT Princess" from Beach Bunny Yarns; and
• Frozen Project Bag from YBSquare.

As with previous years, when you purchase either the Elsa Bundle or the Anna Bundle your order ships for free.  As an even greater incentive, you will receive a free digital copy of either the knitting pattern or crochet pattern, designed exclusively for Stitch the Magic 2026 by 2 very talented local designers, We will be introducing both designs a little later into December, and I'm very excited!  Patterns will be release close to the shipping date of your combo.  And if that's not enough to entice you, all pre-ordered bundles will also include the beautiful Stitch the Magic 2026 patch, a $15 value!

As always, you will be able to pre-order any of these items a la carte.  Unfortunately, the Merino/Silk base has been discontinued by the mill, and the dyers have very limited quantities/.  Therefore, the Merino/Silk base will be reserved for bundle orders only.  However, we have found equally luxurious bases for the a-la carte orders.  

Every item in this year's collection has been carefully crafted by local artists throughout Florida.  So, not only will you be receiving well-crafted, high-quality products, you will be supporting small businesses in our communities.  It doesn’t get any better than that!

The non-bundled (a la carte) Elsa Colorways will be dyed on a gorgeous sparkle yarn:  75% Merino/20% Nylon/5% Lurex  3.5 oz/100g 437 yds/400m.  We feel that the sparkle yarn best captures Elsa's glistening snow and ice palace.

The non-bundled (a la carte) Anna Colorways will be dyed on a sumptuous MCN:  80% SW Merino/10% Cashmere/10% Nylon 3.5 oz/100g 437 yds/400m.  The MCN is warm, soft and surprisingly resilient, just like Anna.

As you see both bases are the same gauge, so you can mix and match to your heart's content.

Pre-orders are open now, but will close on January 8, 2026. After which, you may be able to purchase items individually, but The Bundles (the incentives) will no longer be available.  Quantities are limited, so order early to ensure availability.

We Only Have Each Other

 

Our next/ "Best Buddies" pairing is from Dizzy Blonde Studios. Both colorways are dyed on 80/20 SW Merino/Silk; 4 oz/115 g - 434 yds/397 m of sumptuous luxury.  From the artist:

"Let it Go" is Elsa's initial break-out moment of discovery which starts her down the path of self-acceptance, and the moment we drew inspiration from for our first colorway.  We really wanted to capture the essence of the moment while at the same time, create a colorway to compliment Beach Bunny Yarn's corresponding Elsa colorway "Conceal Don't Feel." "Alone andFree" is a subtly-shifting tonal semi-solid blend of icy blues of Kingdom of Isolation, where she finally feels safe to be herself. 

 

Anna, on the other hand, is set upon the same journey she has been on since childhood: constantly seeking out and trying to connect with her big sister, not only for herself but for the people of Arendelle, meeting allies along the way who aid her in her Hero's Quest.  For "Fixer Upper" we drew inspiration for our second colorway from Anna's winter cloak.  This tonally-shifting semi solid blend of warm orchid contrasts beautifully with Beach Bunny's "Not THAT Princess". 

 

Both colorways represent the transitional dichotomy of both sisters; pivotal moments that inevitably bring both sisters closer and strengthens their bond beyond measure.  ~~Laura

Presales will open once the entire collection has been revealed.  Don't forget that there will be a bonus for those who order an entire collection.  More to come on that shortly!

 

 

Best Buddies

 

Disney's Frozen is a beautifully told story of two sisters and their incredible journey.  After being estranged for most of their childhood, they come together again for Elsa's coronation, and though awkward and strained, they find they still have things in common...like chocolate!

We are doing things a little differently this year.  Each of our talented dyers have created 2 colorways, drawing inspiration from "Frozen's" best buddies: Anna and Elsa. All 4 colorways are dyed on 80/20 SW Merino/Silk, 4 oz/115 gm-434 yds/397 m of soft, lustrous lightweight luxury...fit for a queen (and a princess).  

Our first colorway pairing in this year's collection is from Beach Bunny Yarns in Ormond Beach, FL, and it is gorgeous!  From the artist:

"Beach Bunny Yarns loved the costumes for Elsa's coronation day.  We used this moment for our colorway inspirations.  Starting with Elsa, exuding dignity and self-control, we began with panels of deep teal and aqua accented with dark plum, just like the embroidery of royal patterns on her skirt.  Then touched with a bit of dark magenta drawn from the cape she wears.

"Conceal, Don't Feel" showcases Elsa's poise, combined with royal elegance with textural warmth fit for the Snow Queen herself! 

We look next to Anna  and her "cor-ner-ation" day dress:   the layers of dark/light greens total compliments to her strawberry-blonde hair.  "Not THAT Princess"  features vibrant greens that hint at her spirited nature.  You can almost feel her open-hearted optimism and rustic charm. 

On coronation day, the sisters visually represent balance - Elsa's poised, cool elegance contrasted with Anna's lively, warm energy.  Standing side by side, the two halves of a whole: winter and spring; ice and sunlight; restraint and exuberance, both beautiful in their own way."  ~~ Ron and Alicia

 Pre-sales will open once the entire collection has been revealed, and, as in previous years, there will be a bonus for those who order the entire collection, but we'll cover that in another post.  

Love is an Open Door

Wait, what? 

"More doors?"  

"I thought doors were a major part of last year's theme."  

Just bear with me, because, once you see this year's collection, you will fall instantly in love!  First things first.  Let's talk about the gorgeousness of this year's project bag.

Once again, Amanda from YBSquare has created a stunning project bag for this year's collection.  Fully reversible, this project bag is ready for any adventure, allowing you to decide which side you wish to show the world on any given day. Measuring 3 3/4 x 6 1/2 boxed bottom; 11 1/2 inches tall and 20 3/4" around, they are just the right size to pop into your backpack or satchel while you brave an icy force both foul and fair, and it is loaded with amazing features.  

From the Artist:

There is so much to work with in this movie; castles, seasons, ice monsters, snowmen, reindeer, ice blocks, boats, fabric motifs, sleighs, rock trolls, funny themes, serious themes...After thinking on our overall theme for this year, I went more subtle.  It's always fun to find fabrics that are on-theme, but don't give away the theme at first glance.

The clothing designs in Frozen were full of detail and warmth.  To highlight that, I was able to find a fabric design that was inspired by one of Ana's dresses, so that side of the project bag is for her.  Ela's ice is the major player in the story, so for her side, we have a variety of sharp but soft ice diamonds with motifs in them that echo motifs from hers and Anna's clothing.  ~~Amanda 

Use the cotton webbing wrist handle to dangle it from your wrist, or the carabiner to attach it to your beltloop while you're making your way to a forest trading post to lay in provisions.  The silk locking-toggled drawstring will ensure that nothing escapes while careening down icy roads and outrunning packs of hungry wolves, or climbing up the icy side of the North Mountain.  And when you reach the top and just want to take a moment to rest and soak in the view, the rectangular base allows you to keep on stitching without worry that the bag will topple over.

These project bags will be produced in a limited number and will be available for pre-order once the entire collection has been introduced.  Don't venture too far, there' more to come!
