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 even-more-important Announcement

Hello, lovely knitters! Thank you all, so much, for your kind words and wonderful stories over the past few weeks. Knowing what a difference my designs, and CustomFit, has made in your lives is an indescribable gift. Thanks, too, for your patience with my silence here in the meantime –…

An important announcement

January 10, 2021January 10, 2021 by Amy

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…

New designs, new knitting

March 8, 2020March 8, 2020 by Amy

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…

Cowls and Festivals and Fall, oh my!

Hello, lovely knitters! Long time no chat, as usual – preparations (and knitting!) for this fall’s retreat are really ramping up here, layering on top of the already-busy day job. I got the most wonderful email in my inbox this past week, though – photos of a new design for…

Weekend plans

June 30, 2019June 30, 2019 by Amy

Hello, dear knitters! I hope this post finds you and yours well, enjoying the warmth of early summer (or chill of early winter, depending on where you are). Things are okay here: Despite a tough loss in our extended family, the four of us (plus cats) are healthy and treasuring…
