Laughter is the Best Medicine

 

Time to reveal our second pattern created just for us this year.  Our knitting pattern comes from another popularly-talented Florida designer: Paula King of KraziKnitz Designs, and is quite stunning worked up using both "That Darn Paperwork" and "Always Watching".  If you wish, you could substitute "Googly Bear" for one of the other colors, and really make a statement!

The Power of Laughter

(click pic to embiggen for closer detail)

From the Designer:

The ending of Monsters, Inc helped me decide on the inspiration for The Power of Laughter Wrap. The stitch patterns is directly inspired by things in the film such as the closet doors that the monsters use to enter the human world. The other stitch patterns showing the generation of energy in the monster world. This wrap pattern is a rectangle worked on the bias, which adds to the tilted world view of this film. They say laughter is the best medicine and the power of it can change worlds.

Paula is offering The Power of Laughter Wrap to our Magic Stitchers at a discounted price, but only for a limited time.  Currently, the pattern is only available for pre-order as a digital pattern here, or you can receive this pattern for free when you pre-order the 23-19 Combo.  Patterns will be distributed once the pre-orders are ready to ship. 

About the Designer:

We have the distinct honor of having 2 talented Florida designers create patterns just for us this year!  Our first pattern, designed by Emily Hall of Crochet Aweigh is for all you hookers out there!

The Boo Bolero

From the Designer:

The Boo Bolero is a funky, shrug-like accessory inspired by Monsters Inc. that encourages the maker to be creative.  The tentacle loops across the back are reminiscent of Boo's monster disguise as Mike and Sulley sneak her into the factory.  Designed using two yarns inspired by the character Roz, this bolero will have you "always watching" where you put your "paperwork".  This design is written for 3 flexible sizes, but includes instructions for customization.  The smaller of the 2 sizes only use 1 skein of each color!  Use your creativity to decide how you want the back to look: a few tentacles, lots of tentacles, the choice is yours!

The Boo Bolero is available for pre-order as a digital pattern here, or you can receive this pattern for free when you pre-order the 23-19 Combo.  Patterns will be distributed once the pre-orders are ready to ship.  Additionally, Emily wanted to let you know that 100% of the proceeds of the sale of this pattern through Stitch the Magic will be donated to this year's charity, Delilah's 2nd Chance Rescue.

About the designer:

Emily Hall of Crochet Aweigh is a passionate crochet designer with 21 years of experience in the craft and has been designing her own creations for the past 3 years. Residing in Central Florida with her husband and five beloved cats, Emily is excited to announce the upcoming opening of her yarn shop in Tavares, FL. She is most excited about teaching the next generation to crochet and to love the fiber arts.

The Eyes Have It!

 

Celia:  So, uh, are we going anywhere special tonight?
Mike:  I…I just got us into a little place called, um, Harryhausen’s
Celia:  Harryhausen’s?  But it’s impossible to get a reservation there.
Mike: Not for Googly Bear.

Bet you all thought the collection was complete, right?  We thought so too, and then we took a step back and realized that one character was seriously under-represented...

Yup, you guessed it!  Mike Wazowski; our lovable, manic, green, one-eyed hero, and boyfriend to his one-and-only Schmoopsie-poo, Celia Mae.

So Beach Bunny Yarns got right on rectifying that oversight, and voila!   We are proud to present...

 

Googly Bear!

Dyed on the same 80/20 SW Merino/Silk, 4 oz/115 gm-434 yds/397 m base as our other 2 colorways, Googly Bear is just the right shade of Mike Wazowski green which just so happens to be a natural contrast to both That Darn Paperwork and Always Watching; and perfect when used with one or both of our original colorways for those gorgeous 2 or 3 color pattern designs that are all the rage...which brings us to our next offering.  

We've already introduced our standard collection:  The CDA Combo.  This year, we have a second, "Deluxe" Collection we like to call the 23-19 Combo.  As with the CDA Combo, a portion from the sale of each 23-19 Combo will be donated to Delilah's 2nd Chance Rescue, a non-profit (501(c)(3)) animal rescue organization of Port St. Lucie, FL.

What's This "Bundle" Business?

 Just a quicky explanation of what we mean by bundle, and what sort of perks and extras you get when you purchase a bundle.

First, a bundle consists of one of each collection item:  One skein "The Journey Home" one skein "I Know the Way", one set of Moana-themed stitch markers, and one Voyagers' Project Bag.  

And when you purchase this bundle, your order not only ships for free, but there is an amazing bundle upgrade:  A "Heart of Te Fiti" reversable shawl fastener!

The shawl fastener is 3D printed and features the Heart of Te Fiti on one side, and a Mickey Mouse silhouette on the other.  The detail in the heart is amazing!  The shawl fastener is valued at $18, but is only available when purchasing the Stitch The Magic 2022 Collection Bundle, and then it's free, along with shipping!

Orders for this year's Stitch The Magic Moana collection will open a little later on today!
