Melissa has officially crossed her first major milestone for the year! With this June 4th update, her 2026 Book Blanket is officially 28 squares deep, meaning she’s sailed past Book #25!

This batch brought some absolutely stunning cover art to the crochet hook. We are obsessed with how the rich, deep tones of Who They Are transitioned into the vibrant florals and earthy greens of Emily Rath’s Second Sons series.

The Latest Additions:
⭐ 25. Who They Are by Madi Danielle — THE MILESTONE! 🔑
⭐ 26. Our Story by Kat Singleton 🌲
⭐ 27. Beautiful Things by Emily Rath 🪶
⭐ 28. His Grace The Duke by Emily Rath 🎩

📊 2026 BOOK BLANKET TRACKER
Books Completed: 66 / 175
Total Squares: 28
Next Milestone: Book #44 (25% of the total goal!)

We have two massive book releases coming this fall, and you need to secure your copies yesterday before they sell out and you're left with deep, unmanageable FOMO. Yes, actual, physical books with pages you have to turn. We are doing "grandma hobbies" here, after all—let’s lean into the aesthetic.

📚 The Doodle Sock Knitting Directory (Sept 2026): The holy grail for sock knitters. Packed with mix-and-match charts to make every pair unique (and ensure you remain the favorite friend who makes everyone else look bad).

🩺 Patty Lyons’ Knitting ER: A masterclass from the queen of stitch physics. Learn how to fix your mistakes before and after you bind off. No more ripping out hours of work while crying into your iced coffee. Patty is saving our sanity.

💰 THE ENABLER: Because we love our internet friends best, use code BUYTHESHINYTHING at checkout on our website for 10% OFF your pre-order.

Go lock 'em in and clear off a spot on the coffee table. Your future self will thank you. 💸

Last weekend, Maria and the crew escaped the shop walls and dragged a bunch of you to the theater for The Sheep Detectives. Honestly? It was an absolute blast. Look at us, blinking in the daylight and interacting with society!

Maria had such a good time she’s already plotting her next grand cinematic escape. BUT... she’s terrified of screaming into the digital void. She wants to know if we should make Store Movie Nights a regular thing, or if you all just want to stay home in your sweatpants.

Help us out and validate her! (Her ego depends on it. 😉)

👇 LET US HEAR IT IN THE COMMENTS: 👇

Did you come and love it?

Missed out but want in on the next one?

What should we watch next?

The more noise you make here, the faster Maria will plan the next one. Don't leave her hanging! 🐑🎬

🎬 5 Seats Left: Private Screening of The Sheep Detectives! 🎬

We’re taking our knitting to the big screen! We rented out a private theater at AMC Conyers this Sunday, May 17th at 2:00 PM for an exclusive Square Knot viewing of The Sheep Detectives.

Total capacity is 20 people, and we have exactly 5 seats left. Honestly, I consider this "sold out" because nobody wants to sit in the front row staring up a giant sheep’s nose, but if you want to brave the front row, they’re yours!

Tickets are just to recoup what we paid upfront for the theater. We’ll have a guest list at the door for everyone who pre-purchased.

Want a spot? Email us RIGHT NOW at [email protected] to grab yours before they're gone! 🍿🧶

We came, we saw, we squished all the yarn. 🧶✨ Our H&H Americas recap is here and our suitcases are officially 20lbs heavier. From the Wrigley Field seats to the convention floor, there wasn't a moment without needles in hand! Can't wait to share these new finds with you all at The Square Knot!

🐑 Baa-ble Hat Knit-Along Starts NOW! 🐑

Ready to cast on, Knot-heads? This week we are officially kicking off our Baa-ble Hat Knit-Along, inspired by The Sheep Detectives!

Huge shoutout to the movie studio for partnering with us for LYS Day and covering the cost of 8 KAL kits—I’ve already contacted the lucky winners! For the rest of us, you can grab the pattern on Ravelry (link in bio/comments). We’re using Malabrigo's Rios yarn, but you do you.

You don’t have to join us in-store to participate; we’ll be doing weekly digital check-ins so we can all celebrate (and suffer through) the process together. Who is in?! 👇

📢 Important Shop Updates: Schedule Changes This Week 📢

Hey Knot-heads. We have a lot of moving parts this week, so please read carefully before you make the drive to see us.

First, the heavy stuff. While we were in Chicago for H+H Americas, Melissa received the heartbreaking news that her father passed away. Mr. Bob was a retired Marine Corps Veteran and, most importantly, responsible for bringing Melissa into the world—which proves he was a great man. We will be CLOSED this Friday, May 15th so our team can attend services and support Melissa and her family. We know our amazing community will be wrapping them in love, too. 💔

Second, we will also be CLOSED this Saturday, May 16th for the Geranium Festival. Look, you guys know us and our collective ADHD/Autism quirks. Heat? Crowds? Horrific festival parking? Total sensory overstimulation? Yeah, that’s a hard pass for us. If you are brave enough to tackle the crowds, we hope you have a blast and we want to hear all your survival stories next week!

The Moral of the Story: Get your butt down here Wednesday or Thursday to get your fiber fix! 🧶

Last night storms have caused power issues on the McDonough Square. We have partial power and GA Power says it should be restored by 1:30 but they could change the time. We'll keep you posted when power returns.
