It feels strange starting a social media account from scratch these days, but here I am! Search Knitcircus and you should find me.

Bluesky will be Knitcircus's main social media account moving forward. If you look back at my post history here and on Facebook, you'll see that both accounts have had a steep dropoff in volume of posts since Jennifer's departure at the end of September - working by myself I have found that social media is both not my forte, and not a way that most of Knitcircus's fans keep in touch.

I'm hoping that starting from scratch on Bluesky (bye, Meta) will help me curate an audience that is more engaged, and that it will feel less performative and more conversational.

Let's find out together!

I don't have a ton to say about the politics/ethics of social media that hasn't been said already, and I don't have the energy to repeat it for you here. Suffice to say that I, like many people, have been dissatisfied with social media in general, and that recent political discourse and changes to privacy and community guidelines have simply been the final push needed to do something about it.

I have not made final decisions about deleting accounts or content, but if I change anything I'll be sure to post about it ahead of time.

Holiday Shipping and Vacation plans!

TOMORROW, Tuesday, December 17th is the last day I will be shipping out ready-to-ship orders before I leave the dye studio for a week to go visit my family in Michigan. If you were hoping to sneak an order in before the holidays this is your last chance!

Hot off the needles: A Little Bit October by

When I dyed up Halloween clubs I snuck in a little 50g Ringmaster cake for myself. How could I not??! I was in need of a new hat, and this one couldn't be more perfect.

It's a little bit of a ๐Ÿฅ” picture, it gets dark so early in Madison these days so I had to take it inside. Perhaps I can convince Bat-ley to model? ๐Ÿค”

I spent a little more time in nature this week, and I highly encourage you to do the same. Take a breath. Have your cry. And then get back to work. (The work is mutual aid, local and state activism and politics, and generally putting your money where it can do good for the least privileged people in your communities, in case that's unclear.)

My existence as a q***r woman of reproductive age is political; don't tell me to keep my politics out of my knitting or business. โœŒ๏ธ

You ever just see a combination of yarns and think 'I know what this is meant to be!'? Well that happened to me last week. I've been wanting to knit one of the Pressed Flowers patterns by for a long time, and when I saw Among the Wildflowers and Climbing Roses together something in my brain *clicked*.
Join me for a Pressed Flowers KAL starting January 1st! Link to KAL info is in the most recent newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/knitcircus.com/kal-anyone

Hiya!
It's been a couple weeks since I've posted to social media, but I have a couple updates for ya:
1) Today I finished these socks that have been languishing on the needles for almost 2 years (needing only the toe grafted shut and ends woven in ๐Ÿ˜ฌ) using our Daring DK weight yarn in Chimney sweep and Bisexual Pride pack stripes. They're a little thicker than I'd normally want in socks, but I'll probably mostly be wearing them inside my house Crocs. Pattern is Simple DK Shortie Socks by .studio!

2) If you're not signed up for Knitcircus' newsletter, you've likely missed out on the sales I've been running for the last couple of weeks! Newsletter subscribers get first (and sometimes exclusive) access to new colorways, kits, and promotions. If you're not signed up already, there's a link to sign up in my linktree in the bio! If you want to know this week's promotion, head to knitcircus.com and you'll see an announcement on the front page with more information ๐Ÿ˜‰

Knitcircus, like many other vendors, was scheduled to be at this weekend, which was cancelled due to the ongoing disaster relief needed in the region after Hurricane Helene. Consider shopping online with those vendors (you can find a list at saffsite.org), whose fall income was likely heavily reliant on sales from this event.

Also consider sending money to organizations like the and that are aiding with relief efforts. I know firsthand the work they're doing is super important - I was able to work with the Red Cross to help locate and organize aid for my grandparents in Old Fort, NC in the days following the storm.

Ok bye!

It's Jenn appreciation weekend: this past Monday marked Jenn's last day at Knitcircus! Among the Wildflowers was the last colorway designed by Jenn, and it encapsulates everything great about her - the background is calm, the speckles are fun and bright, and being in its presence sparks great happiness.
If you, like me, can't get enough of this colorway, you can find several bases ready to ship, as well as a listing to custom order the perfect skein at:
