The Square Knot Crafts

Major personal win unlocked! 🎉👇

As a crocheter first and a knitter second, I’ve always had a quick trigger finger when it comes to asking for help fixing my knitting mistakes. Dropped stitches? Off-count rows? Complete mystery tangles? I used to call in reinforcements every single time.

But this morning... it happened. I dropped a stitch that laddered down across multiple rows. 😱

Old me would have panicked. New me grabbed a hook, worked my way back up, and fixed every single row—ALL BY MYSELF. No asking for help. No tearing out hours of work. Just pure craft magic! 🪄✨

Learning how to "read" your stitches and fix your own mistakes is a total game-changer, and it got me thinking...

What is the #1 knitting or crochet error you ALWAYS need help fixing? Is it fixing dropped stitches, taming twisted stitches, un-nesting a gauge disaster, or reading chart mistakes?

Drop your most dreaded craft mishaps in the comments below! If there’s enough interest, we might just put together an "Oops! How to Fix Your Mistakes" workshop so you can feel this exact same victory! 👇🧶

We live in Georgia. By late July, picking up a heavy winter fiber feels like a severe hazard to your health. 🌡️🫠

Because we care about your well-being (and because we want to enable your weekend project habit), Week 3 of our "we don't know what week it is but we like deals" Flash Sale is all about heat-proof fibers!

From Friday through Sunday, take 25% OFF Araucania Prisma and Araucania Alga!

Why these two?
1️⃣ Araucania Prisma is a stunning linen blend. Linen is the ultimate summer flex—it’s light, breathable, and holds its shape without trapping heat. Lilly made an amazing little overpiece out of this line and wears it constantly!
2️⃣ Araucania Alga features Seacell fibers (yes, seaweed!). It feels insanely silky against the skin and breathes so you can stay cozy in the blasting indoor AC without overheating the second you step outside.

No more wistful sighing at the shop display. It’s time to cast on something that won't give you heatstroke.

🎟️ Use code COOLFIBERS online or pop into the shop on the Square this weekend to grab yours!

(Discount valid Friday–Sunday on in-stock inventory only. No holds, because once they’re gone, they’re gone!)

Let’s talk about craft reality for a second... 🧵❤️

We love the picture-perfect photos on the front of kit boxes as much as anyone. But when a kid picks up a needle for the first time? Sometimes Arthur the Tiger looks a little less like the photo and a whole lot more like Jimothy.

And you know what? We LOVE Jimothy.

Jimothy has character. Jimothy builds fine motor skills. Jimothy taught someone how to thread a needle and practice a little patience instead of staring at a tablet screen for three hours!

Our new DMC Kids Kits are in stock now—featuring simple weaving and cross-stitch keychains designed for ages 8+. Whether their finished project looks factory-made or turns out completely Jimothy-fied, it’s going to be loved, cherished, and proudly clipped to a backpack. 🎒✨

Come pick out a friend for your little maker at the shop this week!
