Summer in Calgary is magical, moody, brilliant, intense, and fun! What better way to celebrate the upcoming summer season in Calgary than with a revisit of our unique shawl pattern in gorgeous indie colours?  This shawl is a fun and relaxing knit - it has a simple, memorable pattern and the colour changes are in just the right places to keep your interest. It makes a great palette-cleanser!

Hey crafty peeps, thank you so much for all your support during this uncertain time! We're overwhelmed by all the love, and we miss the heck out of you. A lot of peeps have been asking if we're doing curbside pickup, and the answer is HECK YES WE ARE. 

I want to take this time to thank each and every one of you for being so awesome during these strange times. Every order that we receive from you is like a high five - it brightens our spirits and helps to ensure that STASH will get through this!  More importantly, we hope that you and your loved ones are safe and healthy right now.

Crafty peeps! We are so excited to announce that STASH now has even more shipping options for your next order! 

Effective immediately, we will be freezing the collection and redemption of STASH loyalty points until our retail shop reopens in a safe and systematic manner. We will not be collecting or tracking points, and will not be retroactively applying points from purchases made online between March 25th, 2020 and the date that we reopen. Your points will be held, unaltered, for you until we can see your lovely faces again.

This cozy cowl is the perfect project to learn how to cast on, knit, slip stitches, and cast off! You will also dabble in basic decreases and increases and get to practice some simple but essential finishing techniques. Knit on straight needles in garter stitch (knitting every stitch, no purls) with super bulky yarn and large needles, the cozy cowl is a satisfying, repetitive project that is manageable for new knitters.

Hello crafty peeps! Hope you're all keeping well during this tough time. We wanted to address the COVID-19 crisis and the steps that we're taking to ensure that both our staff and our customers remain healthy and safe. We know that crafting is often an outlet for peeps to reduce their stress, anxiety, and manage their mental health. We want to keep that outlet available to you as long as it is safe to do so. 

Knit the Best.Hat.Ever with super chunky, super satisfying wool. This project knits up supa’ fast and makes for a great gift. This is a great beginner hat pattern for those ready to start knitting in the round.  Grapefruit sized pom poms are optional, but strongly encouraged. 

Mittens are awesome and so are you! Learn how to knit a pair for your cute little hands with this fun, extra squishy pattern. Knit in lovely wooly worsted weight yarn and showcasing the highly underrated garter stitch, this pattern will have you smitten with mittens in no time!

Need a quick hat you can knit up at warp speed? This basic beanie uses one skein of your favourite worsted weight yarn and is a great intro to knitting in the round. It’s so quick you can make one for everyone you love! Hats for all!

Knit the squishiest cowl and learn the art of cabling at the same time. This fast and furious pattern makes for fantastic gift knitting, and you’ll be whipping up cowls for everyone in no time! As always, it's a FREE pattern! 

We needed a clean, simple fingerless mitten pattern that would showcase hand-dyed sock-weight yarns, and this awesome pattern is the delightful result! It is fantastic for showing off interesting colourways without any special techniques or stitches to compete with the beauty of an indie dyed yarn. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we do!
