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!

 

 

Almost There!

 It feels like it's been forever since Stitch the Magic 2025!  Things are staring to get interesting here at StM Central! But before we throw open the floodgates of fun for this year's event (and believe me, we've got plenty!) we thought we'd give you a little clue to this year's theme (psssst, it's the graphic).  Enter your guesses in the comments, who knows, if you don't guess correctly, you may just give us ideas for future event themes!

The Devil is in the Details...

It’s almost time to scream with laughter as we join together to meet new friends, catch up with those familiar, talk about our love of all things Disney, and stitch the afternoon away.

We will start our gathering at 1:00 PM on Saturday, January 25^th.  Plan to hang out until around 4:30 PM or until we can’t stitch anymore.  This year’s location is at Disney’s Coronado Springs – Old Lobby.  Where is the old lobby?  It’s on the left side of the tower, just past the bus stops, but not as far as the Convention Center entrance.  Attached is a map showing you our approximate location.

What to bring:
In addition to your lovely selves, feel free to bring your Stitch the Magic WIPs, or any other projects you may be working on. 
We do have a few items left of this year’s exclusive merchandise.  If you haven’t already, please support our dyers and crafters and order some cool stuff HERE.  We aren’t allowed to sell on property, so you’ll have to order before you go.  There’s still some yarn, T-shirts, and notions left.

We have a completely full registration this year.  If you are unable to attend, please email:  alicia@beachbunnyyarns.com to let us know.

If you have a park ticket and would like to join us for our park excursion on Sunday, we are playing the day away at the Magic Kingdom.  Don’t worry; you don’t have to spend the whole day with us.  We hope to all get in on the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor and scream with laughter, all the while wearing our 2025 themed T-shirts (so wear ‘em if ya got ‘em).  Please fill out the attached Google form below with your info so we can keep you up to date on where we are.

We are so looking forward to hanging out with you at the Stitch the Magic 2025 event.  See you real soon!

How do I get to Disney’s Coronado Springs?

The first, and coolest, option is to book a room at Coronado Springs Resort.  Then, you’ve got access to all of Disney World’s amenities and the theme parks are just a quick bus ride away.

The second option is to drive to the Coronado Springs Resort.  At the guard gate, tell the guard you are there to dine at Rix Café or the El Mercado food court.  Once you go through the guard gate, take an immediate left into the convention center parking lot.  Head towards the blue-roofed overhang just left of the Disney bus stop.  This option may be limited due to a full parking lot or other events.

Or the third option, park at one of the garages at Disney Springs and catch the bus to Coronado Springs Resort.  Know that the bus ride itself is ~18+ minutes.  Please allow an extra half hour to wait at the bus station in addition to the bus ride so you won’t be late.

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: 

My name is Paula King of KraziKnitz Designs. I am a native of Florida, where I currently reside with my husband. I’ve been designing for several years, primarily drawing my inspiration from nature. I work at my local yarn shop, Knit and Stitch boutique in Cocoa Village on Florida’s Space Coast.

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.

In your 23-19 Combo you will receive:

1 skein of each "That Darn Paperwork", "Googly Bear" and "Always Watching"

"Keep the Doors Coming" reversible project bag

"It's a Scream" notions canister

Free shipping

Bonus Mystery Item valued at $12

Plus...

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 2025 by 2 very talented local designers, We will be introducing both designs within the week, and I'm very excited!  Patterns will be release close to the shipping date of your combo.

Pre-orders for the 23-19 Deluxe Combo are open now but will close on January 17, 2025. After which, you may be able to purchase any surplus items individually, but The Combo (the incentives) will no longer be available.   Quantities are limited, so order early to ensure availability.  

When ordering select either 23-19 Combo – Knit Pattern, or 23-19 – Crochet Pattern depending on which pattern you wish to be included with your combo.  

Place your order here.

The CDA Combo

 

And without further ado, we bring you The Stitch the Magic 2025 Standard Collection (aka The CDA Combo) in its entirety!

Prices are posted with each item of the collection.

(Click the pic to embiggen for more detail)

As an added incentive, when you purchase the CDA Combo in its entirety, not only will your Combo ship for free, but it will also include beautiful mystery bonus item, a $12 value. 

Did you know that a portion of each bundle and $3 of each individual skein purchase will be donated to Delilah's 2nd Chance Rescue of Port St. Lucie, FL?  Delilah's 2nd Chance Rescue is a non-profit (501(c)(3)) animal rescue organization that specializes in saving, rehabilitating and placing unwanted homeless animals in loving forever homes. 

Adopt, don't shop!
 

 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!

Pre-orders are open now, but will close on January 17, 2025. After which, you may be able to purchase items individually, but The Combo (the incentives) will no longer be available.  Quantities are limited, so order early to ensure availability.

You'll Scream...

...over our final item in our 2025 Stitch the Magic "CDA Combo":  a 3D printed It's a Scream Canister that doubles as a notions storage container!  Made by Amanda of YbSquare, it measures 3.75” x 1.25”, 4” around with 1” x 3.25” of storage space:  a perfect container for darning needles, stitch markers or other small items you want to keep neatly stored away and at hand.  It also boasts a 4" satin cord loop, perfect for attaching to the carabiner clip on your new Stitch the Magic project bag.  

From the maker:

"When this years’ theme was shared with me I knew I needed to find scream canisters for us. This fun find is based on the scream turned laugh canister from the movie and just like in the movie it can contain both. 

Some stitch markers and projects that use them can evoke both responses, sometimes at the same time. This can be used to keep stitch markers and a small darning needle on hand to reduce the risk of screams while stitching and encourage the laughter."

There is a limited quantity of these scream canisters, so make sure you place your pre-order early to secure yours! 

And again, pre-sales will open once the entire collection has been revealed, along with the bonus item for those who order the entire collection, but we'll cover that in another post. 

We're almost there!

Ook-lay in the Ag-bay...

 

Sulley:  Mike, that's not her door.
Mike:  What are you talking about? Of course it's her door. It's her door.
Sulley:  No. Her door was white and it had flowers on it.
Mike:  No. It must've been dark last night because this is its door.

No Stitch the Magic collection is complete without an amazing project bag, and this year's does not disappoint!  Amanda from YBSquare has done it again with the Keep the Doors Coming Project Bag!

From the Artist:

Monsters Inc has been one of my favorites since its release. I did struggle a little with fabrics for this one. The doors were easy but the other fabric, not so much. There is so much to work with! Sushi, those awesome glasses, different monsters, kids toys, the CDA, … I went with a Code 23-19 reference. Do you recognize the monster George Sanderson coloring and the infamous sock?

About the bags: they are complete reversible, so you can pick which side to show each day. As these are handmade, the fabric placement will vary.  Each bag has a cotton webbing handle for wrist wearing, a carabiner for clipping to most anything and a cord lock on the drawstring.  It is also machine washable, just remove the carabiner and wash on delicate.

 ~~~Amanda

The measurements for this bag are 3 3/4 x 6 1/2 boxed bottom; 11 1/2 inches tall and 20 3/4" around.  Measurements may vary up to 1/4".  Whether your chosen fiber art expression is knitting, crochet, weaving drop-spindling, or hand embroidery, this bag Is the perfect size for the fiber artist on-the-go.  

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

But wait there's more to come from Monstropolis!...in our next post.  Stay tuned!

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!

I've got my Eye on You...

Roz:  Hello, Wazowski. Fun-filled evening planned for tonight?
Mike:  Well, as a matter of fact...
Roz:  Then I'm sure you filed your paperwork correctly, for once.

[Mike smiles innocently] 

Roz:  Your stunned silence is very reassuring.

“Always Watching”, this year’s 2^nd colorway is from Dizzy Blonde Studios in Port Saint Lucie, FL and was inspired by Roz, the administrator and key master of Scare Floor F, who is also tasked with ensuring all paperwork is filled out properly and turned in at the end of every shift…something Mike Wazowski can’t quite seem to manage…a constant thorn in Roz's side to be sure.

"Always Watching" is dyed up on the same 80/20 SW Merino/Silk, 4 oz/115 gm-434 yds/397 m of soft, lustrous luxury as "That Darn Paperwork".  The Dizzy Blonde chose Deep burgundy for Roz' cardigan, and steely gray for her mohawk are the prominent colors, with a dash of slug umber to warm things up a smidge and pop against the dominant cooler palette.

Laura has been knitting for over 20 years, first introduced to the craft by a very close friend who worked in the film industry, and was growing weary of losing her knitting friends when a show wrapped. Dizzy Blonde Studios was born out of Laura’s love for knitting, designing, and all things fiber. In 2008, she ventured into the world of color application to yarn as an additional creative outlet, and a way to find her zen.

Inspired by her passion for Science Fiction, pet rescue, and Disney, Laura creates fresh and unique colorways using different techniques on various yarn bases. From highly variegated to tonal-shift and saturated solids, there's a perfect colorway waiting for you at Dizzy Blonde Studios.

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

Stay tuned!  More to come!
