If you purchased a ShannaJean kit from your LYS in 2022 or 2021, please email us at hello@knittedwit.com, letting us know what kit you purchased, and we’ll …

Adventurelands for everyone!
I am obsessed with the Adventureland Quilt pattern. There are so many reasons for this obsession, but the biggest one is that it hits my favorite crafty buttons: Uses fantastic supplies (read: Jelly Rolls! They are such a fun precut, and are used to such fantastic effect on this quilt); Easy to make (there’s not a lot of fussiness to …
Socks & Hats on Vacay 2022
Even though some of us are still contending with very non–summer weather (snow! hail! cold!), we are mere weeks away from our favorite time of the year: Socks & Hats on Vacay time! We have oodles of fun things planned for this summer, but one thing I’m doing differently is I’m not releasing a new pattern collection. Designing has become …
Make the most of your yarn!
I’m getting real excited about this Spring KAL (and that’s something, because knitting has definitely been taking a back seat for all of the other crafts I’ve been obsessed with these last few months), and I’ve been working on adding more information to the Spell Shawl pattern (in fact, I just published the update a few minutes ago!) The 2022 …
Spring KAL Spell Shawl options
I have been in deep deep love with the Spell Shawl pattern since I first released it in 2016.

The first many versions of the pattern were all made following what is now the Original version in the …

Ode to the Parasol Dress
I am eight Parasol dresses in right now, and there is no sign of my stopping. It (along with the Shirt No. 1 hackadress that I’ve made 3 times) is the pattern that re-kick-started my sewjo, and I’m not mad about it. I love this pattern, so much so that I’m running a ShannaJean Summer Camp workshop on it in …
Broken Chain
MaterialsThis is a new take on a sock I designed for a sock club years ago. I always wanted to develop this pattern for a more meditative knitting experience, and of course, add a toe-up option, so voila!
