Surreal, in two flavors

June 17, 2014 by Amy

Squam was every bit as magical as I had imagined. It was so glorious, everything felt a little surreal. We breathed deep, and sank into peace, quiet, and the presence of fellow makers. My students were amazing, and the whole weekend was such a lovely island in time. And then…

Year of Sweaters, Installment 1: The Summer Sweater KAL

June 1, 2014 by Amy

Cardipalooza is officially over today, with many incredible new (perfectly-fitting!) cardigans making their way through the world. Our own progress was more varied; Amy finished, Lauren got bogged down in miles of fingering weight black Stockinette (Amy here – I’m wincing just typing that), and Jackie is plowing through her…

The whole team is freshly returned from TNNA’s summer show, the largest industry trade show for the needle arts. It’s always an exciting show, full of new things and fantastic people and great ideas – and this year was no exception. There’s no photography on the show floor, but since…

February 10, 2014February 17, 2014 by Lauren

Amy, Jackie, and I are so excited to be going to Stitches West in just two weeks! It’s special to each of us for different reasons — Stitches West was the first knitting show Amy ever went to, more than 10 years ago now; Jackie’s never been to a West Coast show before;…

Hello all! It’s Lauren again! Amy and Jackie are at Vogue Knitting Live this weekend, so I’ll be recapping TNNA for you. We had a great time in San Diego — especially Amy and Jackie, who were coming from eight-degree weather! Truth be told, we weren’t able to spend much time…

Incoming

January 5, 2014 by Amy

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…

Tearing along

November 13, 2013 by Amy

The Knitter’s Review Retreat is a very special kind of event, for the teachers as well as the attendees. It truly carves out a separate space in time, special and honest and deeply personal. It’s a place for exploring big ideas, and reminding myself why I have made this my…

It happened again.

November 7, 2013 by Amy

Yarn exploded all over my teeny little office. I pored over samples, sketched for hours, dreamed of color and texture and fabric. And very soon, my needles will be flying faster than ever. In other words: I started another book. ***** (I’m headed off to the fantabulous Knitter’s Review Retreat…

October 24, 2013 by Amy
