Free pattern with yarn purchase
I am done knitting up a pattern by Jessica Ays designed for this event! I used DD Design’s and Rachel Wolfe Design’s Superfine SW Merino/nylon DK weight yarn. Below is a description from Jessica:
Drawing inspiration from a quote by Maya Angelou, my wish is for all knitters to embrace the courage to trust the process, time and time again. Knitting a pattern can often feel like a trust fall—a leap of faith into each stitch, trusting in the accuracy of instructions, and in your own creative abilities.
Enter the Trust Fall Shawl—a crescent-shaped embrace of yarn, where familiar bands of stockinette stitch intertwine with delicate eyelets, enveloped by textures that are both comforting and effortless to create.
With each textured band, your progress becomes tangible—a gentle reminder that every stitch brings you closer to wrapping yourself in the warmth of your finished masterpiece.
The crescent shape of this shawl was selected with intention. It offers not just beauty, but ease. It’s a canvas for uninterrupted knitting, with shaping increases gracefully nestled at the beginning and end of every row.
And here’s the magic: the Trust Fall Shawl is not just a pattern—it’s an invitation to make it your own. With its infinite adaptability, you have the freedom to customize its size and adjust yarn usage to suit your vision.
Trust in the process, trust in your skills, and let the Trust Fall Shawl guide you on a journey of creative expression.

May Fun Stitches!
We are going to have this fun calendar for anyone who wants to join us for the month of May challenge.
The rules are simple:
- Knit or crochet every day in May. Mark your progress on this tracker.
- It doesn’t have to be much–just a row, or even a stitch.
- It doesn’t have to be the same project–you can bounce around.
- You don’t have to finish anything.
- Just nurture your habit. It’s a good one.
- It’s the honor system. Be honorable.
Purchase of any yarn here at Get Stitchin’ will get you this calendar.
Submit your completed tracker by 12:00pm on June 8th (Knit in Public Day). We will draw a winner from all completed entries. The prize? A gift basket + a $20 gift certificate to Get Stitchin’. Everyone who completes the challenge will receive 20 stitches, which is equal to a $5 off coupon, must have purchased and account set up before stitches can be applied. Stitch on, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
One last thing–in the spirit of keeping it simple, there’s no requirement that the yarn be purchased from Get Stitchin’. But keep your LYS in your heart, okay? This is all intended to encourage you to make your fiber-y pursuits part of your every day life, and to thank you for connecting with Get Stitchin’. ✌️
Support our Local Dyers
We are going to have some more May fun!!
Our local dyers are doing a promotion starting during this event, and the drawing will occur during Knit in Public Day, June 8th. So, throughout the month of May you can purchase as much yarn as you want, and for each skein purchased your name will go into a drawing. Each purchase from that local dyer will get your name into their basket. They will pull out a winner on June 8th at noon.
