Reflections

December 2, 2013 by Amy

Thanksgiving is a reflective holiday for me even in a good year, and doubly so as we’re celebrating our first holiday without my father. So like always, I’m knitting. And thinking. I’m so glad you like Morning Coffee, and I’ve been knitting like a fiend, lining up a bunch more:…

CustomFit and Rhinebeck

October 17, 2013 by Amy

My Saturday Rhinebeck sweater this year comes to you courtesy of CustomFit, which is now open to everyone. (Please, come! Set up an account and if you’re going to the festival, spend your time dreaming about the yarn you love instead of worrying about what pattern you’ll use to knit…

Transitions

September 10, 2013September 10, 2013 by Amy

I have a new job. Or more to the point, I don’t have an old job anymore. Though I may not have mentioned it often in this space, I’ve never exactly hidden the fact that I have a day job, either. I’ve been working, these past 15 years, as a…

Anticipating Fall

July 31, 2013 by Amy

What’s that, you say? It’s 90F where you are? You’re at the beach? You’re still languishing in hot summer nights, ice cubes clinking in your glass, a crisp schedule blown to the winds? (Unless you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, in which case, you’re thinking “Are you crazy? Bring on the…

Resurfacing

July 18, 2013 by Amy

Where I am

Intensity

May 30, 2013 by Amy

There are times when my job and my knitting happily co-exist. When it’s easy to leave work at work, and most of what I have to do for this second career is knit. It’s easy to blog, then. I have knitting progress, my head is clear, and the things I…

Trips, and blog tours, and heartbreak

April 16, 2013April 16, 2013 by Amy

This post was meant to go live yesterday, but I just couldn’t make myself hit “Publish”. Yesterday’s terrible, terrible events left me too heartsick, too helpless, and ultimately in no place to share any details about my trip to NYC or the wonderful things supporting the book. My heart and…

Vacation Craze

February 20, 2013 by Amy

Well, it’s school vacation week here in the cold, snowy northeast. So naturally we’ve jumped at the chance to spend some time in warmer climes. This bodes better than you’d expect for knitting: But not nearly as well for great pictures and blog posting, because the wireless doesn’t work here.…

A fun weekend

February 5, 2013 by Amy

I just had a glorious weekend away, and I’m still awash in the energy and happiness I always bring home from R&R weekends. They’re good for the soul, you know? They’re good for FO photography, too. We found a perfect spot to take pictures of that last little tidbit I…
