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.  

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!

It's Almost Time to Stitch Some More Magic!

Hey everybody!  Fall’s finally here and Florida is slooooowly cooling down.  Hope you had a great time in the summer sun letting off steam, but now it’s time to get ready for Stitch the Magic 2026!  January will be here before you know it, so Dizzy Blonde and Beach Bunny are hard at work dyeing up the special colors for the event.  Wait…what’s the movie theme for this year, you ask?  Well, you’ll just have to wait a bit longer but we promise, it’ll be really cool!

Save the date, Saturday January 31st for the Stitch the Magic meetup at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.  Like last year, we’ll have fun games and prizes and there’ll be actual real live people.  On Sunday the 1st of February we’ll do a group theme park excursion at EPCOT!  

So get ready, we’ll announce the movie theme and colorways in the coming weeks.  Stay tuned!

A ROARING thank you!

 

We had a monstrously grand time at the 2025 Stitch the Magic event.  Thank you to all of you who attended our gathering.  That bingo game was a lot of noise!  We'll have to think of another game as exciting!

Congratulations to our door prize winners, Allyson and Shelvia, and to our grand prize winner, Ilse!  We can't wait to see the amazing projects you create.

We're taking a break for a bit, but don't worry.  We already have lots of things on paper and tons of ideas flurrying around in our heads on how we want to pull this off.  Keep checking back for the latest info.  Meanwhile, help support our creative team by checking out what keeps them busy when not at our amazing annual event.

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.

While you're at it, registration for the meet-up event is still open, but the event is filling up fast!  Register here 

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!

No Job is Finished Until the Paperwork is done

 

Wazowski! You didn't file your paperwork last night...

...when Mike Wazowski forgets to file his paperwork (yet again) before going on a date with Celia, his best friend Sulley steps up to help...

 Mike to Sulley: The pink copies go to accounting, the fuchsia ones go to purchasing, and the goldenrod ones go to Roz. [Celia pulls him away; he comes back] Leave the puce!

Our first colorway in this year's collection is from Beach Bunny Yarns in Ormond Beach, FL, and it is gorgeous!  Dyed on a base of 80/20 SW Merino/Silk, 4 oz/115 gm-434 yds/397 m of soft, lustrous luxury, "That Darn Paperwork" is super-soft and luxuriously lightweight, has amazing stitch definition and is wonderful to crochet and knit.

This yarn is the Bunny’s take on this mountain of paperwork to be filed.  Pink, fuchsia, and of course, puce are the main colors with a little goldenrod to balance the palette and keep Roz happy.  It’s highly variegated and as disorganized as Wazowski’s paperwork, which only adds to the beauty of this particular colorway.  

Don’t worry, no one is watching!

Ron of Beach Bunny Yarns has been knitting and crocheting for over 20 years and is always looking for new challenges.  He enjoy teaching and sharing his fiber knowledge as well.  He firmly believe that anyone can knit or crochet!

As a maker, he always struggled to find similar skeins of yarn in coordinating or complementing colors, and he created Beach Bunny Yarns five years ago to ensure that fiber artists could pick from a broad selection of color palettes in a variety of great yarn bases.  "I love the creative and technical processes of dyeing and hope that my yarn brings you joy in all your creations!"  He is joined by his wife Alicia aka "she of the many hats":  Executive Director of Food & Beverage Distribution, Senior Yarn-Washer, Website Manager, Senior Stress Facilitator, and Chief Bunny Motivator...just to name a few!

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.  Don't let this beauty pass you by!  That Darn Paperwork won't knit itself!

We Scare Because We Care

On Saturday, January 25, 2025, we will be hosting the meet-up in our new location at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort where there is plenty of seating both inside and outdoors, so there's a place for us no matter what the weather throws at us!  More on the exact location as we get closer to the event date.  Festivities begin at 1:00pm and will end around 4:30pm.  The event is completely free to attend, you only need to worry about parking which might not be much of a problem if you intend to have lunch or stay later for dinner at one of the several table service or quick service restaurants.  Just let the guard know at the entrance to the resort.

We encourage you to bring your stitching projects, be it knitting, crochet, cross stitch or spinning...it's all good!  Beach Bunny Yarns and Dizzy Blonde Studios will be your hosts for this magical occasion.  There will be some fun activities, prizes of the yarny nature and goodie bags for all registered attendees.

Speaking of which, registration for the meet-up is now open at Beach Bunny Yarns' webpage.  Space is limited, so make sure you register early and save the date!

Then on Sunday, January 26, 2025, we will be spending a magical day at Disney's Magic Kingdom Park, home of Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor!  If you are purchasing admission for the day, I believe there is no need to make reservations.  However, if you are an annual passholder, don't forget to make your reservations for the park.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Let's get this Party Started!

*What is "Stitch the Magic"?

 Read all about it here

It's scary just how quickly this year has gone by!  Can you believe that we are just 3 months out from our next Stitch the Magic event?  What better time to get this party started by revealing this year's theme!

Because we have so much exciting news and information to share with you, we are going to forego our usual tease of the theme, and dive right in.  So, without further ado, this year's Stitch the Magic event is inspired by... 

Disney's & Pixar's 2001 full-length animated feature:  Monsters, Inc!

We are extremely excited about this year's exclusive collection, and will be revealing each and every item over the next few days/weeks, along with meet-up and park excursion details.  You definitely won't want to miss out!  So, if you haven't done so already, follow us on Facebook and Instagram.  Who knows, we might even post a TikTok or two, if we're feeling especially adventurous!

Here we go again

Happy first week of Autumn!  We hope your summer was a blast.  Now that the days are getting shorter, we're realizing that it's almost time to get the ball rolling and get excited for the Stitch the Magic 2025 event.  It's scary how fast the year goes by, but we're ready for it.

So.....mark your calendars for Saturday, January 25, 2025 (& Sunday, January 26th if you want to join us in the Magic Kingdom park).  We've pick a new meeting location at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort.  The resort is gorgeous with plenty of common areas inside and out, as well as lots of options for food and drinks.

Explore the resort HERE and maybe book a room for the weekend 😁.  

More info to come soon.  Keep watching for this event's theme movie....

Asante sana!

 

Wow!  Thank you all so much.  We've actually reached our registration goal.  The website is closed for future registrations, but all that means is that all the goody/swag bags have been claimed.  If you didn't register and still would like to join us, PLEASE DO!  We will still have a little something for your effort.  Just email us at:  info@beachbunnyyarns.com  to get the info you need to find us.

Thank you again, and see you real soon!

The Pride Rock Pack

(Click picture to embiggen in order to see the fine print)

Prices are posted with each item of the collection. 

As an incentive, when you purchase the Pride Rock Pack in its entirety, not only will your Pack ship for free, but it will also include this beautiful custom-embroidered commemorative patch, 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 saving, rehabilitating and placing animals in forever homes.

Hakuna Matata - A Lion's Tale

 

Our second colorway comes from the dye pots of Dizzy Blonde Studios in Port St. Lucie, FL., and not one to be missed!  

"In keeping with the 'Lion Character' theme, we chose to tell the story of Simba's journey from outcast to king, and my favorite part of the movie.   Hakuna Matata means 'there are no worries' in Swahili, and this colorway effortlessly captures the environment where Simba lived his carefree days growing up under the watchful eyes of his surrogate father-pals, Timon & Pumbaa.  Lush forest and deep olive of the jungle are the main colors with a pop of grasshopper for those 'slimy yet satisfying' moments.  Nothing speaks volumes of Simba's transformation than when he chases Rafiki out of the jungle only to be confronted by his own reflection; where he faces his past, his regret, fear and guilt, and then suddenly, like so many leaves in the wind, get swept away and a new king emerges."

~~Laura

The base is the same as Beach Bunny Yarns': 80% SW Merino/20% Silk, 4oz/115gm - 434yd/397m.  We purposely dyed our colorways on the same base, and coordinated them so that you can put them together in a 2-color project. In a later post we will be publishing pattern recommendations, so if you haven't done so yet, hit that "subscribe" button so you don't miss out on any of the Magic!

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

Registration is now open at the Beach Bunny Yarns website. Space is limited, however, so make sure you register early, and save the date.

Mufasa - A Celebration in Yarn

 

Our first colorway in this year's collection is from Beach Bunny Yarns in Ormond Beach, FL.  It is 80/20 SW Merino/Silk, 4 oz/115 gm-434 yds/397 m of soft, lustrous luxury.  It is wonderful to crochet and knit, super-soft and luxuriously lightweight, while retaining it's amazing stitch definition.  

And who better to capture on strands of string than the mighty King of Pride Rock:  Mufasa.  But don't just take our word for it...From the Artist, Ron Roberts:

        "With the theme of 'The Lion King', it seemed only natural to choose to create a colorway based on the lion characters.  What character stood out the most to me was Mufasa.  The word mufasa means 'king or leader' in Swahili, and I wanted to express the majestic, grand emotion I felt when I first heard James Earl Jones' voice.  I also wanted to highlight the natural camouflage that exists between a lion and the colors of the savanna.  The golden grasses, reddish earth and dust, and the rocks all emulate the lions' colors and patterns.  The question remained: how to create a yarn worthy of the name?  Using a traditional layered approach yielded a result closer to mud than a lion's mane.  Each color needed to stand out and still blend smoothly with the next.  After a couple more less-than-stunning tries, I ended up using multiple layering techniques to achieve the final effect.

Knitted or crocheted, this colorway produces variegated golds, browns, and yellows with short bursts of deep mahogany red.  These colors are very reminiscent of not only the movie character, but are also used in many examples of African art.  The yarn is bold, rich and warm...even regal."

Pre-sales will open once the entire collection has been revealed, and there will be a bonus item for those who order the entire collection, but we'll cover that in another post.  Don't let this beauty pass you by!

 

Registration is now open at the Beach Bunny Yarns website. Space is limited, however, so make sure you register early, and save the date.

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.
