Happy new year, knitters! (Is it still fair for me to say that even though it’s February?) Knitting-wise, 2019 was a pretty strange year for me. I knit quite a lot, of course, but struggled to find the time to share it with all of you. I missed admiring your…

Resurfacing

Long time no see, lovely knitters! I can’t believe that nearly 4 months have passed since I started working at Pivotal. I’m enjoying the position more than I can say, but I do miss you all, so very much. (Have I even told you what I do there? I’m a…

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…
