New CustomFit Pattern!

September 3, 2021September 10, 2021 by Meg Anderson Kilfoil

I’ve been working behind the scenes to get the business side of things up and running since I last posted my introduction. The plan, over the next several months, is to move CustomFit to its own site (eventually it will live at CustomFitKnits.com). There is a lot of back-end work…

Getting to know Meg

March 23, 2021March 23, 2021 by Meg Anderson Kilfoil

Hello to everyone! This is Meg, writing to you all for the first time. I’m sorry this post took so long, I had a family emergency right after the announcement. 2021 has a terrible sense of timing. I’ve seen the comments from people wanting to know more about me, so…

An important announcement

Hello, lovely knitters. It’s been ages since we’ve talked – again. We last spoke in early March last year, just after Kate came on board and just before the COVID shutdowns arrived. I had 3 different projects on the needles, regular business travel that gave me the chance to make…

Howdy everyone, and happy March! I hope you’re all doing well, and enjoying whatever kind of weather you’re getting at this time of year. Here in Connecticut, things are warming up and my snowdrops are braving the intermittent frosts and showing us their beautiful blooms. I have just a quick…

Now in CustomFit: Drop Shoulder Sweaters

Hello, knitters! It’s impossible to overstate how excited I am to be writing this post. You can now create a drop shoulder custom pattern via CustomFit. On the customization page, a new drop-down called “construction” will allow you to choose either the currently-existing set-in sleeve construction, or (for allowed designs)…

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…
