Kelly / December 2, 2024
Thank you for leaving all of your previous calendars live! And also… not putting years on them. 🙂 Ive been going back and downloading the calendar that matches the current month (for instance, December 2019 works for December 2024 — both years, Dec 1 fell on a Sunday) I feel like you could republish the archives and we’d just have “perpetual” calendars. 🙂 |
 |
Marijke / November 20, 2024
I will miss this each month! Please reconsider for 2025 🙂 |
 |
MARIA / November 14, 2024
oH NOOOO! That´s all I will say |
 |
Alex / November 5, 2024
I will miss the digital calendar. I hope the hiatus isn’t too long and when it returns any changes are all good. |
 |
Jessie M / November 5, 2024
Sad to hear that. I have been using it as the screen background for my work computer since 2014. I always looked forward to seeing the new one each month. Often time, my co-worker would comment how beautiful the yarns were, even for non-knitters. Hope it will come back very soon. |
 |
Ellen / October 23, 2024
Oh no! I’m so sad to read this. I’ve loved opening my laptop to your beautiful woolly monthly’s for years. Thank you so much for the calendars you posted up until now! |
 |
Barbara K / October 22, 2024
Please bring back the desktop calendar. I love it. |
 |
Becky / October 17, 2024
Thank you for years of my favorite desktop wallpaper. I sure hope you bring it back — even with repeat backgrounds! |
 |
Yvonne Lin / October 16, 2024
I’m sad to hear this. Really looking forward each month, from the Netherlands, to download the calendar. Fingers crossed it will come back. |
 |
Emily Whitaker / October 15, 2024
Like many others, I love the digital calendar! I am ordering the hard copy but would pay for the digital version too. |
 |
knitknotes / October 14, 2024
But if you download the months for 2020 they will match 2025! You could start with autumn 2019. |
 |
Virgadean Richmon / October 13, 2024
I hope the hiatus will be brief as well. I put it on my phone and my desktop. I just saw this when I came for October. 🙁 |
 |
Brandon / October 11, 2024
It’s disappointing to hear about the issues with the digital calendar. Technology can be so beneficial, and when it fails, it can disrupt our daily lives significantly. I hope there are solutions on the horizon to address these problems soon. Staying organized is essential, and it’s frustrating when tools we rely on let us down! |
 |
Claire / October 11, 2024
I am so sad to hear this! The desktop calendar has been a source of joy and organization for me for years. I love telling my coworkers about KnitPicks! 🙁 |
 |
Rhoda / October 9, 2024
I’m feeling lost without my new screen saver calendar on my iPad. |
 |
Sandy W / November 14, 2024
I miss the calendar. Just like so many other things that have gone away. Pitiful how this world has changed. Probably not enough staff and this had to go. If only there were people that wanted to work in this world. |
 |
Karen / October 9, 2024
So sad to hear this! I have enjoyed the calendars as my background for quite a while. I will miss it! Hopefully, this hiatus will be brief. Thank you for your past calendars. |
|
|
Brandon / October 9, 2024
It’s disappointing to hear about the unfortunate news regarding the digital calendar. Many rely on it for organization and planning, so any changes can be frustrating. Hopefully, there’s a solution on the horizon to restore its functionality. It’s a reminder of how much we depend on these tools in our daily lives! |
 |
Kelly Harper / October 8, 2024
I’m really sad to hear about the hiatus for the digital calendar. It’s been such a helpful and fun tool for staying organized. I hope it returns soon, but thank you for all the wonderful calendars over the years! |
 |
KimH / October 8, 2024
I was wondering why I couldn’t find it this month! I hope everyone and everything is okay! |
 |
Tammy / October 6, 2024
I’ll miss the calendar and the beautiful photography. It was fine to have. Thank you for the past beautiful calendars. |

 |
Elizabeth / October 2, 2024
Nooo, I just came to get the monthly calendar and was unable to find it. Hope it comes back. |
 |
Liliya / October 2, 2024
So sad… It was my work background for years… It’s being a great starter of the conversations! Kept that warm feeling of yarn for me through out tough times. Hope to see it in the future again! |
|
|
Vanessa / October 30, 2024
The October, November, and December.2019 line up to 2024 |
|
|
Rhoda / October 2, 2024
Sad to hear it, I looked forward to a new calendar every month for years. Hope I can find another place with something similar. |
 |
Zuzanna / October 2, 2024
Thank-you so much for the calendars. They have been a joy and will be dearly missed. It was so gracious of you to create them. |

 |
Renee C / October 2, 2024
Hello, I have been downloading and using the digital calendar wallpaper for my Lock Screen on my phone since the very first one was made available. I will miss this monthly ritual but understand the decision. I hope that this wonderful free offering will be available again in the future. All the best. |
 |
Celeste / October 2, 2024
Sorry to hear this |
 |
Kristen / October 2, 2024
Oh no 🙁 I love these! I hope the hiatus won’t last! |
 |
Jessica / October 2, 2024
Oh no! This has been my work computer wallpaper for years! I hope it comes back soon. Thank you for all of the beautiful work. |
 |
Claudette / October 2, 2024
Pure genius to download October 2019! Thank you for that suggestion! |
 |
Gwendb / October 1, 2024
Thank you for all the years of this offering! It will be missed. |
 |
Rae / October 1, 2024
Anyone else who needs a placeholder during the hiatus I just downloaded their old October 2019 calendar wallpaper, I think the rest of that year should line up too. Hope to see new ones come back soon I love these wallpapers! |
|
|
Kristen / October 2, 2024
Thanks for this! |
 |
Amy S / October 2, 2024
Same – thank you for this idea, I also loves the wallpapers. Maybe that can be a workaround for the blog – to just repost the older ones from 2019, etc.? Less resource intensive maybe? |
 |
SHARON AUSTIN / October 1, 2024
One of the few beautiful continuums in my digital life. Please…. bring it back when you can! |
 |
Niki in Philly / October 1, 2024
Has this gone the way of the podcast because I can’t find new episodes anymore? It used to be my knit along podcast. I was able to find your site as a new knitter this year from the podcast and the try me sets so I can figure out what type of needles were gentle on my hands. I miss hearing Lee and Stacey in my ears….😭😭😭 and learning about different yarns I also cast on my first set of socks because of Lees enthusiasm during one of the socks episodes. |
 |
Linda L King / October 1, 2024
Sad news, will look for a generic yarn background for my laptop. Was a highlight of the 1st of the month. |
 |
tricia / October 1, 2024
Oh my, where am I going to get my yarn porn calendar from???? This will be missed daily by me and my fellow yarn enthusiast. |
 |
wandering-dreamer / October 1, 2024
Noooo, gonna miss it |
 |
Karen Marie / October 1, 2024
Oh no, sad news, thank you for all the beautiful calendars, hope to see them again soon. |
 |
Jenny / October 1, 2024
Noooooooo! That’s been my background forever! |
 |
Amy B / October 1, 2024
Will miss it while it is gone, but there is so much happening outside our crafting studios! Praying all is well and praying things settle down soon. |
 |
Gwenjj / October 1, 2024
So sorry to hear! It has been so enjoyable and So appreciated! |
 |
Lisa / October 1, 2024
🙁 |
 |
Suzanne Caso / October 1, 2024
I will miss the monthly calendars. They gave me so much joy to be able to view on my phone and it was an expression of my love of knitting and crocheting with the lovely yarns. I hope you will add them back. |
 |
Heather-bo-bether / October 1, 2024
This has been a lovely free service, but totally understandable that it might not be sustainable because of you know, life. Thank you for giving us this lovely yarny content for so long. 🧶🩷 |
 |
Magali / October 1, 2024
So sorry to receive the news. Hope things get better and it will soon be able to come back! |
 |
Cass / October 1, 2024
Will miss them – they brightened up my computer monitor, and I smiled every time I saw them |
 |
Carla / October 1, 2024
I’m sad to hear this and hope it’s a brief hiatus. I have downloaded them for years. They are so lovely! |
 |
Grace / October 1, 2024
This is disappointing. Thank you for providing it for so many years. I hope it is able to return eventually. |
 |
Karen Henry / October 1, 2024
Oh bummer! I love that thing & look for it every month. I hope the hiatus isn’t permanent & isn’t caused by some sort of serious problem. Meanwhile, thank you so much for those past calendars. They are so useful and make my laptop screen look so beautiful! |
 |
Elise Bohn / October 1, 2024
How sad!! I jump over on the first every month and can’t wait to see the new one. I hope everything is okay and that the hiatus is brief. I’d also like to say thank you for years of beautiful yarny calendars! They’ve been such a lovely gift each month, and a useful tool, as well. Sending good vibes. |
 |
Trisha / October 1, 2024
I am also so sad about this news. I love the backgrounds on my computer and ipad and phone. I am a yarn enthusiast. I truly hope all is well. I wish the staff all the best |
 |
Nelda / October 1, 2024
😢 The calendar was always a bright spot of my morning when I cranked up my computer. It will be sorely missed. How will I keep tracks of my days now? |
 |
Gloria / October 1, 2024
Sorry to hear it! Love putting on my mobile and laptop. |
 |
Julie / October 1, 2024
Tip for all the folks who like me, just aren’t ready to let the calendar go… October 2024 = October 2019. Just click on the “calendar” tag and go back in time. 🙂 |
 |
knittingpsalms / October 1, 2024
I’m with Teri – I’m going to make my own. Some days at work, I absolutely need to close my window and just look at yarn! Love to you all. I hope this works out soon. |
 |
Teri / October 1, 2024
I hope you don’t mind, I used a previous year’s blank calendar which includes the logo on it, and made my own for this month. They are just so beautiful and inspiring. |
 |
Autumn / October 1, 2024
The calendar from October 2019 also works for October 2024. |
 |
Teri C / October 1, 2024
If you, like me, had to download the calendar in order to use it as your laptop background, you might have one saved. I just looked and October 2019 matches 2024. There isn’t a year on the calendar, so its re-useable. |
 |
Smands / October 1, 2024
So sad to hear this as my monthly yarn desktop has brought me joy for years. I will miss my pretty yarn pics! |
 |
Jacqueline / September 30, 2024
This is very disappointing. I’ve relied on that calendar so often, I am going to have to find something to replace it. 😕😕😕😕 |
 |
Susan / September 30, 2024
I do hope they return soon. 😢 |
|
|
Susan / September 30, 2024
I will miss the monthly calendar! I do hope they return soon. 😢 |
 |
Karen / September 30, 2024
Yes. Sad, and I’ll miss it. I will have to select my favorite non-calendar KP wallpaper as my background for now. |
 |
Krysta / September 30, 2024
I’m so sorry to hear this about the calendar. This has been a highlight of my month. I do hope it will come back. It was something I enjoyed sharing with friends who crochet, some became customers, mostly because of the beautiful yarns! 🥰 Thank you for the years you provided the beautiful calendars! |
|
|
Teri / September 29, 2024
I’m so sad to hear this. My coworkers were always amazed at their beauty. I hope everything is okay. |
 |
Annie / September 29, 2024

 |
Sharla / September 29, 2024
Oh no!!!! I’m so very sad to hear this! I pray that it will not be a long or permanent hiatus! I use this as my phone’s background. Please bring it back soon! |
 |
Janet / September 24, 2024
This is a bummer. I have always used these in my classroom! They are a lovely seasonal and appropriate backdrop! |
 |
Lisa P / September 23, 2024
Oh! I am sad to hear this. I so look forward to your monthly calendar and have faithfully, not so patiently waited to download it to my phone and iPad for the past few years. I do hope that it’s temporary, as it reminds me to continue visiting and shop on your website. |
 |
Barbara Seiver / September 19, 2024
So sorry to hear this. I have truly enjoyed the yarny monthly inspiration! Please bring it back! |
 |
JHS / September 18, 2024
I’m so saddened to hear this. I have a monthly reminder to download at the first of each month and noticed the late availability in August and September. I was hoping it wasn’t being retired. |
 |
Patty / September 18, 2024
Noooo!! I sincerely hope it comes back.💔 I love this monthly change in my phone background. And the yarn photos are always so beautiful! |
 |
Donna / September 17, 2024
Sad news. It is a highlight of my month. I love opening my laptop to work and seeing the yarn looking back. It says – work now, yarn later 🙂 |
 |
Laura / September 17, 2024
Oh dear! I do hope nothing serious is behind this hiatus. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a speedy return, as I as well really looked forward to the monthly change in “perspective”. |
 |
Ellen / September 16, 2024
I’m so sad. This is what I use on my computer page, so any time I turn my computer on, I’m reminded of what I love. Thank you to the person who took the time and used learned skills so we could enjoy it. I so hope you will find yourself able to resume doing the calendar in the very near future. |
 |
Debra / September 16, 2024
Sad to hear this, enjoyed them. |
 |
Jan Bellows / September 16, 2024
Sorry to hear this…. I use it on my desktop as a reference point for making appointments and such. I hope it will return to us in the near future… |
 |
Jessica / September 16, 2024
Oh I’m so very sad to hear this! I LOVE the calendar and have used it every month on my computer for years and years. I do hope it comes back!! Working will not be the same without it. |
 |
Lilia / September 15, 2024
Oh I loved these and have been looking for the one for Sept 2024 all month. So sad. |
 |
Lauren / September 14, 2024
I am truly sad to hear this. I too really enjoyed each month’s wallpaper. Added a bit bit of cheer to my days. I truly hope it comes back soon. |
 |
Deb / September 13, 2024
Oh no! I’m so sad to hear this – really looked forward to getting the download each month and really enjoyed having it as my background. Fingers crossed it will be coming back. |
 |
Sarah D / September 13, 2024
I’m so sad to hear this! The KnitPicks calendar image has been the background of my phone for years now! |
 |
Coley / September 19, 2024
Same, but only on my work computer desktop |
