Green Mountain Great!

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!)

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

Things I learned at Rhinebeck.

by Amy

(I stay with a big group of friends every year, in a lovely farmhouse with a pond in back and sheep and goats all over the place. It rocks.) WEBS makes a fabulous appetizer for a weekend of fiber-related insanity. I will enjoy anything the wonderful CIA students make me…

Teaching and Twist

Moving right along
