Three yarns, three women, three sweaters.

October 31, 2014 by Amy

Vogue Knitting Live was, of course, bundles of fun – even if I did spend every non-class moment curled up with some Sudafed. Teaching is one of my most favorite of things, and it’s always wonderful to see fellow teachers and exhibitors at these large events. I returned home to…

make, wear, love: the sweater class

September 18, 2014 by Amy

I’ve heard it often from former students: “It all made so much sense at the time, but now that I’ve got a sweater on the needles I’m not sure: What did you say about this, again?” It’s one of the most wonderful things about taking a sweater class through a…

Happy New Year to you and yours! I’m really excited about 2014. 2013 was such a tumultuous year for our family, one of such massive change. Through it all, I managed to knit rather a lot of sweaters. And now after a lovely few weeks focusing on family and soaking…

Behind the scenes

April 23, 2013 by Amy

It’s a busy week, diving back into the day job (we were on vacation last week) and finalizing a bunch of things and beginning new sweaters, culminating in a trip to a favorite non-local yarn store for classes this weekend. First, the new sweater: This is Green Mountain Spinnery’s Maine…

Green Mountain Great!

March 28, 2013March 28, 2013 by Amy

I spent a phenomenal two days teaching at Green Mountain Spinnery last weekend. They do wonderful weekend retreats twice a year–this was the annual Sugar Season retreat, held in the spring at the charming Saxtons River Inn, which has the best goat cheese fritter this side of ANYWHERE (ask me…

Squee! (I’m on Maker Monday!)

March 4, 2013 by Amy

I was surprised and super happy to see myself featured on the Craftsy blog’s “Maker Monday” series. I think that the Craftsy team did such a wonderful job on this interview–they took what was, at heart, just a fun conversation about how we can make our clothing work for us,…

Teaching in the Future: Knit to Flatter on Craftsy

March 3, 2013 by Amy

The “me of 1997” would never have believed this. I was a usenet weenie and infocom fan then, excited about the so-called “world wide web” and voraciously reading as many Wheel of Time conspiracy theories as I could get my hands on. The internet was wildly exciting, but entirely text-based.…
