There's more to life than scaring

Moreso than ever, the Beach Bunnies and the Dizzy Blonde all feel strongly about giving back to our communities through conservation.  This year we will again be donating a portion of our proceeds to this year's non-profit, Delilah's 2nd Chance Rescue.  And, since last-year's T-shirt fundraiser was such a big hit, we're doing it again this year with 100% of all T-shirt proceeds being donated to the rescue, who, frankly, could really use the funds right now.  Hurricane Milton caused serious damage to their headquarter kennels, and they need every penny they can get to help aid with repairs.

Arrive in style to the event and/or park excursion!

T-shirts will only be available through pre-order HERE.

The t-shirts are 4.2 oz, 52% airlume combed and ringspun cotton/48% polyester.  They are pre-shrunk, lightweight and oh-so-very soft.  The shirts are relaxed fit (unisex) and feature tapered shoulders, a comfortable crew neck with a tear-away tag, side seams and short sleeves.  In staying with the theme of this year's gathering, we chose a heathered pale turquoise color with a Stitch the Magic emblem done in purple screen printing as well as an easter egg (23-19) on the back!!  (IYKYK)

In order to have the shirts produced and then either picked up at Orlando Distaff Day or shipped in time for you to wear to the event, the last day to order will be December 11, 2024.  We will not be doing a second run, so don't miss out.  Order your shirt today!

The Circle of Life...Choosing Conservation

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, Delilah's 2nd Chance Rescue.  But we want to do more.  So, this year, we are trying to raise more funds by selling event T-shirts.  100% of the proceeds will be donated to Delilah's 2nd chance.

The t-shirts are 4.2 oz, 52% airlume combed and ringspun cotton/48% polyester.  They are pre-shrunk, lightweight and oh-so-very soft.  The shirts are relaxed fit (unisex) and feature tapered shoulders, a comfortable crew neck with a tear-away tag, side seams and short sleeves.  In staying with the theme of this year's gathering, Disney's Lion King, we chose a heathered brick shirt with a Stitch the Magic emblem done in goldenrod screen printing.

Arrive at the event and/or park excursion in style!  

T-shirts will only be available through pre-order here.  

In order to have the shirts produced and then shipped in time for you to wear to the event, the last day to order will be December 28, 2023.  So don't miss out.  Order your shirt today!

Stitch the Magic 2022 Exclusive Collection

 

And without further ado, we bring you the Stitch the Magic 2022 Collection in its entirety

(Click on the pic to embiggen)

Prices are posted with each item.  Did you know that $3 of each skein purchase and $2 of each stitch marker set will be donated to The Marine Science Center of Ponce Inlet.  So, for every bundle purchased $8.00 will be donated.  The Marine Science Center suffered damage from hurricane Ian, so every dollar donated helps them rebuild so they can save even more sea turtles and other marine wildlife.

And don't forget, bundled purchases ship for free and receive the Heart of Te Fiti  reversible shawl fastener, an $18 value, free.  Bundles are extremely limited, as is the number of project bags.  Just select "Moana 2022 Bundle" from the dropdown menu

Place your order HERE

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!

Last But Certainly Not Least...

Voyagers' Bag

Our final item of our exclusive Stitch the Magic 2022 Collection inspired by the Disney full-length feature Moana is this exquisite project bag from Not Knots.  These project bags are all hand-made by Silvia Mendoza in California.  

The exterior fabric is inspired by Polynesian tribal art, in lovely beachy colors.  The exterior also features a strong webbed wrist handle, a locking-toggle drawstring closure and parachute cord drawstrings which are decorated with beautiful coordinating pony beads  The lining fabric echos the Heart of Te Fiti, and the interior pockets, including Not Knots' signature "Needle Niche" feature Moana herself, as well as other characters of the story. 

These bags are truly beautiful and measure 9 inches tall, 10.5 inches wide with  4 inch gusset, which makes for a generous, self-standing rectangular base.  The shorter (but wider) size makes it the ideal grab-and-go bag for a communKNITy on the go.  It is the perfect size for those one-skein projects that we like to work on while traveling, waiting at an appointment, or spending time at your favorite theme park with your favorite people!  

There is an extremely limited quantity, so get them wile supplies last.  Quantities will be limited to one per customer, or one per bundle*.  Pre-orders for the entire collection will be opening soon until a week after our Stitch the Magic event on December 3, 2022.  But, to be quite honest, I think they will sell out way before pre-orders close.  Orders will be filled on a first come-first served basis.  But when they're gone, they're gone!  In the unlikely occurrence that there are any bags left over after pre-orders close, you can purchase them directly from the website.  (Link to be activated on 12/10/2022)

*Bundles will be defined in the next blog post.

But Wait...There's More!

Dizzy Blonde Studios and Beach Bunny Yarns are honored to be partnering with several amazing makers in our industry.  Our next item in our exclusive event collection is this amazing stitch marker set designed exclusively for Stitch the Magic 2022 by Fangirl Fibers.  

This set of 6 stitch markers depicts various characters and meaningful objects from the story of Moana.  Emily of Fangirl Fibers creates these beautiful stitch markers by laser engraving on maple plywood.  Due to their lever-back rings, these markers are very versatile.  They can be slipped onto your knitting needles like conventional markers, or by utilizing the lever back, they can be used as knitting row-markers or crochet markers.  The attention to detail is superb!

 The set will be available for order, along with the yarn and project bags very shortly.

Meet Your Hosts: Ronald Roberts

 

aka

Beach Bunny Yarns

Ronald Roberts is a retired Air Force Officer who has never done the same job twice! The experience and fun of learning and doing new things led him to explore fiber arts and eventually dyeing. He decided to put his business, engineering, and management skills to work for himself, and started Beach Bunny Yarns in 2019. With his lovely and talented wife, Alicia (who you will meet later) they’ve steadily grown their business and did their first major show in 2022.

Ron has been knitting and crocheting for over 18 years now and always look for new challenges. He’s had the opportunity to teach young-adult and adult learners in professional and academic environments. In 2018, he started teaching knitting at his LYS (Local Yarn Store) and privately. Ron loves the learning process and watching as his students learn and show off their knitting success!

Beach Bunny Yarns is passionate about sea turtle conservation.  In 2019 & 2021, they donated more than $1,500 to 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.  100% of the profits from sales of Conservation yarn collection go directly to wildlife conservation efforts.

You can see all of the beautiful hand-dyed yarns that Beach Bunny Yarns has to offer at their website.
