#Knitsky, lots of questions coming in about yarn for the Mystery Shawl… so let’s talk it through! I’m hosting a YouTube Live tonight at 4.30pm Irish time, chatting through the yarn kits we’ve curated and why they work so well for the project. Pop in if you can: youtube.com/live/2FsWEG6...

#Knitsky, our Mystery Knit-along is LIVE! This year we’re knitting the Guileen Shawl, full of gansey stitches, brioche... and a hint of lace. (But my lips are sealed after that!) Fancy knitting along without knowing where it’ll end up? stolenstitches.com/pages/knital...

#Knitsky, have you ever joined a Mystery Knit-along before? I’d love to hear your stories. Did you race through the clues, or savour each week slowly?

Nice! I’m knitting a sweater with drop shoulders and some mesh too. Very different, but similar coziness! Mine is Soft Trails by @stolenstitches.bsky.social stolenstitches.com/products/sof...

#Knitsky I’m sharing a sweater mistake I made so you don’t have to 😅 If you’re thinking about knitting your first sweater (or know someone who is), I’ve put together a free beginner sweater guide to help you avoid the chaos. Grab it here: stolenstitches.com/pages/beginn...

#Knitsky, the mystery I teased yesterday? It’s launching this week! 🔍 Our annual Mystery Shawl Knit-along is back, and it’s time to get ready for the clues to start unfolding. Find out more here: youtu.be/xIF0ItkXIE8

#Knitsky… something a little mysterious is coming your way next week. 👀  Any guesses what it might be in relation to?

#Knitsky, meet the Glenbarrow Sweater! 🧶  I love its gentle curves and top-down raglan, honestly, it makes a first sweater project fun and approachable rather than terrifying!   Grab the pattern here: https://stolenstitches.com/products/glenbarrow

Here it is #knitsky, the story of my first sweater project! Can anyone relate? 👀 youtube.com/shorts/oabjL...

#Knitsky, how did your first sweater project go? Any funny mishaps or lessons learned? 😅 Let me know if you want to hear about mine… it was CHAOS! I might need to film a little story time.

Know someone who’s thinking of picking up the needles in 2026? #knitsky I’ve put together a place just for new knitters: tutorials, pattern ideas, and sweater guides to get started with confidence! Check it out: stolenstitches.com/pages/beginn...

#Knitsky is there anything more satisfying than a fresh ball of yarn? 🧶

#Knitsky, Happy New Year! 🎉 I’m Carol, from Cork, Ireland, and I’ve been knitting for 45 years (not continuously, I should add! 😅). I’d love to meet you all. How long have you been knitting?

#Knitsky, back to the studio yesterday!    How’s everyone else easing back into work after the holidays? Anyone else sneaking a few rows in between emails or Zoom calls?

#knitsky meet Fern Mor, my new colourwork sweater!   It is simple, cosy, and perfect if you’re trying a colourwork sweater for the first time… or just want a new knit you can wear quickly.  Grab the pattern here: https://stolenstitches.com/products/fern-mor-sweater-pattern

What’s your knitting goal for 2026, #knitsky? 🧶  With the new year just around the corner, do you want to learn a new technique? Or finally knit that sweater you’ve had on your mind?   I think mine will be mindful knitting, taking my time and slowing down to enjoy every stitch … what about you? 👇

Her books and Treasures are so wonderful. She’ll be missed.

Hi #knitsky, popping on for a quick knitting check-in (before Joe drags me back to no-electronics 😅).  What’s on your needles right now? Here’s a peek at my holiday knitting in action!

Happy Holidays #knitsky! 🎄   I’ve got a sneaky little peek of my first 2026 pattern releasing on January 1st for you… want to see it before anyone else?  Sign up for our newsletter to know when it’s available: https://stolenstitches.com/pages/newsletter

#Knitsky do you know someone curious about heavy-weight yarns... Worsted, DK, Chunky, Aran?   And want pattern ideas for each?   This tutorial’s perfect for them:

#Knitsky, if your WIPs could talk… what would they say about you? 😅 I think mine would beg for a bit more attention this week.

I hope you can all join me tomorrow for my live community Knit-through event! #knitsky I’ll be taking a deep dive into my Trio Of Light Cardigan, answering all your question, and I might have a sneak peek of a new pattern coming soon. 👀 youtube.com/live/xA7i64K...

#Knitsky If you could learn one new technique in 2026, what would it be?

Yarn tails out? Not on my watch! 😉 When you add a new colour to your knitting project, you don’t have to wait until the end to weave in the ends #knitsky. youtube.com/shorts/LvZpN...

I’m thinking of a new series on combining different yarns together! 🧶   Would you find that interesting, #knitsky?   If so, what would you like to know?

#Knitsky, what’s the one knitting habit you want to leave behind in 2025? 🤔  Mine might be rushing. I want to take my time and enjoy each project.

As knitters, we’ve all heard some *interesting* advice. What are some things you shouldn’t listen to? So, for fun, complete the sentence: “Don’t list to people who say _______”

Think you’ve tried every colourwork technique? 🤔 The Cruinne Cowl by Eimear Earley is a two-colour double knitting project inspired by ancient Irish motifs, reimagined for a modern, wearable, reversible design. Join our Winter Seasons Digital Club: stolenstitches.com/products/win...

Floats running wild in your colourwork projects? 😅 Let’s tame them #knitsky! Steps to trap left-hand float: 1. Insert the right needle into the next stitch. 2. Life left-hand yarn over tip. 3. Knit yarn from the right hand, holding the left-hand yarn above. youtube.com/shorts/g9RGw...

#Knitsky, now it’s December’s, I’m reflecting back on my year…what’s been your favourite project you’ve knit in 2025? For me, it’s my Scealla cardigan as I love the two knitting directions combined with some lovely cables. OH, or maybe the brioche sweater, Meabh! I’m terrible at picking favourites.

When you first look at a cable chart… it can feel like you’re trying to decode ancient runes. 😅 #knitsky  Quick tips to make it easier:   - Highlight symbols  - Use a chart holder or app  - Swatch first  - Watch for sneaky increases/decreases.

What advice would you give your younger knitting self, #knitsky? 🤔  Maybe you’d say, “Don’t fear frogging, it’s part of the process!” OR “Buy the good yarn, you’re worth it.”

Do you listen to knitting podcasts, #Knitsky? 🎧  I love having something on in the background while I knit, but I’m always looking for new recommendations.  What are your favourites? Any must-listens I should check out?

I popped into the studio this morning for a WIP and spotted my Yew Mor Sweater… and had a thought! (These usually get me in trouble, so I’m asking you first, #knitsky)   What if I designed another circular yoke pattern for it?

#Knitsky, Laura (our head elf in the packaging department 🎁) wanted me to remind you of our final shipping dates, so you’re not left short for your holiday knitting plans!  Make sure to get those orders in before it’s too late: https://stolenstitches.com/
