Autumn Round-Up

October 25, 2018October 25, 2018 by Amy

Happy October, lovely knitters! Fall is one of the best times to be a knitter, don’t you think? Crisp air, the excuse to pull all of the hand-knits out of the closet, and (of course) casting on new projects. With the book now officially out in the world, I thought…

August 7, 2018 by Amy

Hello, lovely knitters! So, uh… ..is this where I can sheepishly admit that my “I’ll just blog post from the road as we travel this summer!” plan didn’t really work out? Sorry about that! We’ve been away for much of the summer – camping, seeing family, etc. But the highlight…

June 1, 2018June 1, 2018 by Amy

Happy Friday, lovely knitters! And welcome to summer – at least in my neck of the woods. I know knitting isn’t usually what people think of when they think of summertime, but I love summer knitting. Somehow my schedule feels freer, things seem easier, and I’m more able to convince…

CustomFit Update – Redo your pattern super-easily.

February 27, 2018March 13, 2018 by Amy

This fall will mark 5 years since I started CustomFit. I can’t really speak coherently about what making this crazy side project into my life has meant to me. It’s too wonderful and fundamental for me to be rational about it. To have seen something I thought should exist in…

“New” pattern Thursday – Harrogate!

Happy pattern release day, lovely knitters! Okay, so it’s technically not really a new pattern, but I’m excited nonetheless: I’ve built my Harrogate design into CustomFit!
