A Visit from St. Knitcolas

🎄

'Twas the week after the Trunk Show, when all through the yarn,

Every needle was clacking, every stitch, every darn;

The skeins were all neatly wound with care,

Knitting holiday orders, for St. Knitcolas soon would be there.

🎅🏽🤶🏽

Cast on the scarf! Cast on the shawl!

Now knit away! knit away! knit away all!"

"Now, Purler! now, Knitter! now, Lacer and Stitchin'!

On, Cabler! on, Swatcher! on, Darnin’ and Snippin'!

🧶☃️🧶 

He spoke not a word when he arrived at fortuknit,

He just filled all the stockings with beautiful, handmade knits;

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;

 🛷🦌

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

Then I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,

"Happy Knitmas to all, and to all a good night!"

The 2nd Annual S’mores and Pours Trunk Show was a success! Thank you to everyone, especially you—fortuknit friends—who made it another great event!!

The vibe was super cozy, despite the mild chill in the air, with holiday music and an intimate, boutique shopping setting. Shoppers who stopped by had a space to relax and mingle as they sipped their delicious hot cocoa and nibbled on homemade, fluffy marshmallows and decadent fig, cognac, and chocolate cupcakes.

Beautifully handmade fortuknit gifts were sprinkled throughout the pop-up shop, from headbands and hats to pillows and baskets. As always, we even took custom orders for our shoppers who needed something extra unique just for them 😊.

Plus, we were really excited to have Amiracle Artistry there for the day! After setting up his airbrush station, he started the day by customizing and hand-mixing the fortuknit logo colors, which he used to airbrush these exclusive fortuknit tote bags, which were only available to shoppers during the Trunk Show. Such a treat!

He even took some time out to make us the beautifully curated highlight reel above. It was the very first fortuknit x Amiracle Artistry collab and we definitely have plans to do another one soon.

And, for those who were unable to make it in person, our items were also available in our online shop. You can still find some items or place custom orders online—it’s not too late. But, if you want your fortuknit finds in time for Christmas, this is the last week for custom orders and next week is the last week to get shop items, so hurry! We want to be able to ship your orders in time for your loved ones to be surprised on Christmas morning. 😊

Don’t forget! If you want to host your own fortuknit Trunk Show, you can do that, too. It comes with perks for the host, and fortuknit is happy to turn your space into a cozy, fun shopping experience. Schedule a consultation so we can get your party on the books!
