Hello #Knitsky! I wanted to share a few photos from my trip with Knitting Tours to the Barcelona Knit Festival. Guess how many skeins of yarn I smuggled home? 😏

#Knitsky, I’ve been swatching with our club-exclusive Solas colourways for the first Celtic Knits Club patterns with the theme ‘Aran Evolution’ in mind.  Any suggestions on how the theme could inspire me?

#Knitsky, I’ve been loving all the Trio of Light Cardigans from our test knitters! 😍  From soft neutrals to bold bright stripes, each one has its own personality. Which one catches your eye?  Knit your own: https://stolenstitches.com/products/trio-of-light-cardigan-pattern

#Knitsky, while we'll be exploring Aran knitting traditions with our 2026 Celtic Knits Club… a couple years ago I dove into Geansaí Chléire!  I filmed a Vlog on Cape Clear full of history, and fascinating interviews.  👉 Watch the vlog here:

#TruthTuesday I count my stitches more than I count anything else in a day. 🤷‍♀️ What’s your knitting truth? #knitsky #knitting

I’ve been admiring our Suri DK Cloud, it’s outrageously soft! Laura thought it would be perfect with my Dolmite Sweater, which features a funnel neck, so she put together a few kits for the ultimate comfort knitting project. Browse the kits: stolenstitches.com/products/dol...

Cables can be bold, intricate, or surprisingly meditative to knit.  If you could design your own cable sweater, what would it look like, chunky cables or delicate braids? 🤔  Let’s talk texture, #knitsky!

Let the Aran Evolution begin!  Our 2026 Celtic Knits Club celebrates cables, texture, and tradition, all with a modern twist.  Join the journey today: https://stolenstitches.com/pages/celtic-knits-club

Reimagining Aran knitting is a delicate balance…  How do you honour tradition while breathing something new into it? That’s the question behind this year’s Celtic Knits Club journey. #knitsky

Have you ever felt that Aran knitting could evolve? #knitsky  I do!   That’s why we wanted to explore how these traditional stitches could evolve, keeping their spirit, but giving them a modern life.

When I first started knitting in the round, I was constantly second-guessing myself with the length of circular needles I needed. Too short, too long… it always felt like a guessing game. 🙃 youtube.com/shorts/oYk34... Here's what I learnt! #knitsky #knittingtutorial

A couple of weeks ago I ran a couple workshops with Celtic Journeys & Max Penxa… and walked in to see so many knitters wearing Stolen Stitches knits!

One of our amazing community members, Kristin, asked:  “What’s everyone’s favourite bind-off for toe-up socks?”  Great question! I’m a fan of Jeny’s Stretchy Bind-Off, as the name says, it’s super stretchy, making it perfect for sock cuffs.  How about you? 👇

New tutorial alert! 🎥   I’m sharing how to use a yarn swift and ball winder, two simple knitting tools that make winding your skeins into neat, ready-to-knit cakes a total breeze.  If you haven’t tried them yet, this video might just convince you!  Check it out:

#Knitsky, have you tried double knitting? I first dipped in with a belt in my Contemporary Irish Knits book, then the Chroi cardigan belt… just scratching the surface! Now with Winter Seasons Club, I’m exploring two-colour double knitting with Eimear’s design.

A knitting repair tool! I received a little metal one as a prize in a KAL, and I use it so much! When googling what to call it (I call it a fix-it tool, but that seems to be the one with a latch), I found that you have a YouTube video to show how they can be used: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tixn...

Ok, now I’m curious… what do you think is the most underrated knitting tool? 🤔 The one you can’t live without but hardly anyone talks about?

Two-colour knitting can feel like wrestling spaghetti at times🍝 … but that’s where a yarn guide comes in! It keeps strands neat, makes tension easier, and saves your patience so, I’ve put together a quick tutorial to show you how to use it. #knitsky #knittingtool youtube.com/shorts/2PzIO...

Monday inspiration! 🌈 Liz shared her beautiful, finished Stave Sweater, and I’m in love with her bright colour choices. What colours would you knit this in #knitsky? Sweater Pattern: stolenstitches.com/products/sta...

Our Winter Seasons Digital Club members will be choosing a yarn for the Cruinne Cowl.   We chose Nua Sport:    A worsted spun, sport weight yarn  60% Merino, 20% Yak, 20% Linen  What yarn would you substitute #knitsky?

#Knitsky Share your latest yarn crush from your stash!   Bonus points if it’s something you forgot you had. 😉  Currently, I’m obsessed with our Deas yarn, in the shade ‘ Nightfall’:  https://stolenstitches.com/products/deas?_pos=1&_psq=Dea&_ss=e&_v=1.0&variant=49232062316880

Mary shared a funny moment while knitting her Log Cabin Blanket, her knitting style changed mid-project and now she’s a full-on ‘flicker’! 😄   Old dogs, new tricks… have you switched knitting styles mid-project, #knitsky?
