A little Sunday morning reminder. ✨ If you’ve been eyeing Meret, today is the last day to grab the weekend deal. It’s the perfect project for those silky yarns in your stash that need a little bit of "pop," or for a dreamy combo with our Better Breakfast fingering. Remember, if nupps aren’t your thing, you can easily swap them for beads for a touch of shimmer!⁠ ⁠ The special pricing ends tonight at midnight. Head to the link in my bio to grab your copy before it flies away! 🕊️⁠ ⁠ #Knitspot #MeretPattern #PatternOfTheWeekend #FiberArts #KnittingInspiration #knitwear #yarnaddict #nevernotknitting #knittersofinstagram #knit #yarn #knittersgonnaknit #wool

I’m casting a spell on your needles this weekend with one of my favorite textural designs: Meret. 🪄 There is something so satisfying about the way these heavily embossed areas play against the lighter openwork—it looks incredibly complex, but I promise it’s a rhythmic, intuitive knit that you can truly relax into.⁠ ⁠ Get the Meret pattern for 30% off or for free with your purchase of our suggested yarn! Click the link in my bio to shop the Pattern of the Weekend. 🧶✨⁠ ⁠ Suggested Yarn: @barenakedwools Better Breakfast Fingering, Stone Soup Fingering, The G.O.A.T Fingering, Shetlandia Fingering⁠ ⁠ #Knitspot #PatternOfTheWeekend #BetterBreakfastYarn #KnittersOfInstagram #LaceKnitting #knitwear #yarnaddict #nevernotknitting #knittinglove #knittersofinstagram #knit #yarn #knittersgonnaknit #wool #knitspiration

Sakura Fubuki is back 🌸✨ — and she’s blooming in our Modern Deco Lace! Design by @knitspot ⁠ ⁠ Inspired by a flurry of cherry blossoms drifting at the end of spring, this shawl captures that magical moment when petals swirl in the breeze (but make it wearable 😌).⁠ ⁠ Knit in our luxurious Targhee + Tencel blend, Modern Deco Lace gives you that soft, silky drape with just the right touch of sheen — perfect for airy spring layers, summer evenings, weddings, and every “I want to feel a little extra” moment.⁠ ⁠ Simple to knit, stunning to wear, and just a little bit addictive… don’t say we didn’t warn you 😉⁠ ⁠ Sakura Fubuki + Modern Deco Lace = pure spring magic 🌸🧶

I’m thrilled to finally bring Sakura Fubuki back to center stage!🌸✨️ While our original special edition yarn flew off the shelves, it gave us the perfect opportunity to see how this pattern shines in one of my all-time favorites: Modern Deco Lace.⁠ ⁠ One of our incredibly talented sample knitters just finished this fresh version of Sakura Fubuki, and seeing it in our Modern Deco Lace has me completely swooning. The stitch definition they achieved is absolutely exquisite, perfectly capturing the delicate "cherry blossom shower" inspiration of the design. 🌸⁠ ⁠ Click the link in my bio to shop the pattern ✨️ ⁠ ⁠ #knitwear #nevernotknitting #knittinglove #knittersofinstagram #knit #yarn #knittersgonnaknit #wool #knitspiration #knittinginspiration

My heart is so full after an incredible weekend at Maryland Sheep & Wool! 🐑✨Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth to say hello, squish the yarn, and share your project plans with us. There is truly nothing like the energy of this festival, and I had the absolute best time helping so many of you curate the perfect pairings of yarn and patterns. Watching you find "the one" is always my favorite part of the weekend!⁠ ⁠ We sent so many beautiful skeins and patterns off to their new homes, but the star of the show was definitely Goldleaf. 🍂✨ Seeing your excitement for our newest release was so rewarding. I can’t wait to start seeing your Goldleaf projects popping up in my feed!⁠ ⁠ #MDSW2026 #MarylandSheepAndWool #Knitspot #GoldleafPattern #FiberFestival #KnittingCommunity #GratefulMaker #NewKnittingProject #FestivalRecap #knitwear #nevernotknitting #yarnaddict #knittinglove #knittersofinstagram #knit #yarn #knittersgonnaknit

We had an amazing weekend at the #MarylandSheepandWool Festival this year—and it definitely deserves a special recap! 💛⁠ ⁠ If you’ve been following along, you already know we LOVE the sheep 🐑—meeting them, hearing about each farm, and learning what makes every flock so special is always a highlight for us.⁠ ⁠ But of course, the booth was where the real buzz was! It was a busy (and wonderful) weekend filled with familiar faces, new friends, and so many amazing conversations about what’s on your needles, what’s off your needles, and all the beautiful finished projects you brought to share with us. We loved every minute of it!⁠ ⁠ Now we’re excited to highlight some of the true booth favorites from the weekend—our Top picks that everyone couldn’t get enough of:⁠ ⁠ ✨ Swipe to see!⁠ ⁠ Better Breakfast DK – a total no-brainer! You really can’t go wrong with this dreamy Merino + alpaca blend.⁠ Our NEW sassy tote bags – a definite hit! People were grabbing these in multiples for every knitter they know.⁠ ⁠ 3 & 4. Black Oak – deserving of two features! One sample was shown in Fresh Sport on the mannequin, and Olivia wore the vest version in Hempshaugh 2.0 Fingering paired with a simple white tee—it looked incredible.⁠ ⁠ Hempshaugh 2.0 Fingering – of course making the list again! This yarn got so much love all weekend long.⁠ ⁠ And honestly… so much more we could talk about!⁠ ⁠ Make sure you’re subscribed to our newsletter this week—we may have a little surprise revealing our #1 festival favorite 👀
