This year's Stitch The Magic Event is inspired by Disney's 1994 full-length animated feature which has won a total of 9 of the Industry's awards and is the highest-grossing traditionally animated film of all times:

We are very excited about this year's exclusive collection, and will be revealing each item over the next few days.  You won't want to miss out!

On Saturday, January 20, 2024 we will be hosting the meet-up at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, Jambo House.  Festivities kick off at 12:00 noon.  This event is completely free to attend, you will only need to worry about parking.  If you're creative about your parking solution (free parking at Disney Springs, then catch a bus to the resort), that won't be much of a problem either.

Please feel free to bring your stitching project, whether it's knitting, crochet, cross stitch, it's all good.  Dizzy Blonde Studios and Beach Bunny Yarns, are your hosts for this magical occasion.  We will provide goodies bags to registered attendees, ice-breaker and other fun activities, along with prizes of the yarny nature.  

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

On Sunday, January 21, 2024 we will spend the day at Disney's Animal Kingdom park.  As of January 8, 2024, you will no longer need to make a reservation to enter the parks.  There will be a separate registration form for Park Excursions a little closer to the event date.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Hakuna Matata!

What is "Stitch the Magic" and how can I participate?

 

Stitch the Magic is an annual social event at Walt Disney World for Disney fans who happen to be fiber artists as well.  Dizzy Blonde Studios and Beach Bunny Yarns, are your hosts for this magical occasion.  Each dyer creates an event-exclusive custom colorway based on each year’s selected theme.  Once revealed, yarns are available for pre-order before the event, and purchase after event, while supplies last.  

The weekend begins with a Stitchers' meet-up at the designated resort area within the Walt Disney World property, where we provide goodies bags to registered attendees, ice-breaker and other fun activities, along with prizes of the yarny nature.  Then, on Sunday we venture into that year's selected park.  Space is limited, so keep watching this blog for updates!   

Now, you can chose to join us for the entire weekend, just the meet-up or whatever amount of time in both you choose.  We will always post directions and instructions for both.  Keep in mind that parking can get a little tricky for the meet-up, so we will provide you with different options as we get closer to the event.

Please follow us on our socials for all the juicy details!

What is Stitch the Magic?

We're still getting questions about what exactly Stitch the Magic is supposed to be. 

It's basically a social meet-up of all those who are both yarnistas and Disney fanatics. Think Knit Night, but at the Happiest Place in the World. This is where we get together, talk about yarn, knitting, crocheting, weaving, whatever, and show off our love of Disney and Disney movies.  

This year's theme is Moana. Two indie dyers (Beach Bunny Yarns & Dizzy Blonde Studios) have created custom colorways inspired by scenes from the movie. We also have two designers (knit & crochet) who will have patterns designed exclusively with these yarns. We have a custom project bag and themed stitch markers too.

While all of these fantastic items are available for pre-order sale, this isn't a vending event. If you want to get your hands on this exclusive merchandise, you'll have to order it HERE

We are meeting at the Polynesian Resort upstairs in the 'Ohana Restaurant Lounge and waiting area on SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2022 at 1:00pm EST. In-Person attendance is FREE, but we ask that you register for your FREE ticket so we know how many goodie bags to prepare. So register HERE

For those that cannot physically be there, we also have a Virtual Event on Saturday, November 26, 2022, at 8:30pm EST. You'll also need to register for the FREE ticket, only so we know where to send the ZOOM info. Register HERE

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.
