I absolutely love getting custom requests! My favorite customer always like to keep my on my toes by designing new and fun characters every few weeks. Last week, I got a new request for a Star Wars inspired custom cross stitch. I usually only design custom patterns because of my busy work schedule and two … Continued
“The choices we make. The actions we take. Moments both big and small shape us into FORCES OF DESTINY.” Last year, I was walking around Target when I saw this gigantic new display of Star Wars dolls from a new line called “Forces of Destiny.” I wanted to buy every single doll since I’m a … Continued
It took me almost a month…. but here she is, my new FAVORITE pattern: Stranger Things 2! I usually can’t watch horror movies, but I really love this show and all of the characters. Sure, it is basically the X-men Dark Phoenix Saga, but hey, it is ok, that is probably what makes me love … Continued
I’ve read all the books … I’ve seen all the episodes … I stopped visiting spoiler-y sites…. I’m ready for WINTER! (In Westeros anyway…. not so much the season, ha!) Game of Thrones is a BIG deal in my house. My baby shower was Halloween themed, and I dressed up as Daenerys and had three … Continued
It’s officially FALL in Indiana, which means hay rides, pumpkin spice lattes, PURDUE FOOTBALL, and the Netflix fan favorite, Stranger Things! Ironically, Stranger Things has a lot of X-men Dark Phoenix Saga allusions (believe me, I know!) and that made me fall in love with the show even more! I am not good with watching … Continued
In my 2.5 years working in a comic book shop back in the early 2000’s, I never sold a single Guardians of the Galaxy comic book. I couldn’t even tell you who any of those characters even were prior to 2014. (I’m a bona fide Marvel girl and everything!) I was pretty blown away back … Continued
It has been a crazy few months in the land of knottybytes. The winter months have faded, and now spring is here! (HOORAY!!) I’ve only added a few new patterns to the shop lately. It is time to meet MOANA! It is no lie that my daughter is obsessed with this movie, (and I am … Continued
Last weekend, my crew and I went to see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and we were NOT disappointed. I just love how ballsy this movie was, and I absolutely loved all the CGI and the epic finale. My two new favorite words are “Hammerhead Corvette” and I feel like I should use those words every … Continued
As predicted, my son’s arrival has made my stitching time obsolete, but that is A-ok! Welcome to the knottybytes family, Vincent! I completed my Star Wars Alphabet for his room, and it looks great! I have some other empty wall space, but I think I will wait until he is a bit older to make … Continued
I love it when customers send me a picture of their knottybytes creations! I always loved the original Ghostbusters as a kid (Winston was my favorite of course), so I had to make a pattern of the new and improved Female Ghostbusters of 2016. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but what can you do when … Continued
