Spidey

January 4, 2013 by Amy

Well, that was quite a month. Let’s pretend it never happened, and it hasn’t been over a month since I’ve written/answered email/looked on rav/sat down for more than 5 minutes, okay? I’ll just say “Happy new year!” and we’ll move on? Of course I have my usual complement of exciting…

New and Shiny

November 24, 2012 by Amy

I’ve finished a spate of deadline projects recently, freeing up the needles (and my time) for other fun stuff. First and foremost, making good use of something I picked up at Rhinebeck: That’s Anzula Cricket in “Root Beer”, done in plain weave on an 8 dent heddle. Just a simple…

Vegetable Insanity

July 23, 2012 by Amy

One of the very nicest things about being done with the book is that I occasionally have time for something I like to call “fun”. Now, my good friend Kellee and I share the same definition of the word fun. And we’re both a little bit… let’s see, how shall…

Almost there. Almost there. Almost there.

The knitting for the book is nearly complete. It will be so nice to be able to give you little peeks of the things on my needles again! I’m wrapping up my SEVENTH sweater for the year this next week. Yeesh. To tide you over, here’s a little update on…

Bits and bobs

November 1, 2011 by Amy

Thanks so much for your wonderful reception of The Charles Collection! Your lovely comments and compliments mean so much to us all. Now I can’t wait to see the projects people make with it! ***** I’m sure that by now you’ve heard of the dreaded Snowtober that rocked the East…

Welcome!

We outgrow all things, I guess. When I started blogging back in 2006 (really?! wow, time flies) “stash knit repeat” was a great name. It was cute, made a little bit of a joke, was a little hokey… …a lot like me. Now, I’m designing all over the place, I’m…

Dribs and Drabs

May 5, 2011 by Amy

Nobody really means to disappear off the face of the earth in the middle of a blog contest, right? So sorry about that! First things first: My favorite random number generator tells me that the winning comment of the Knitting Plus Giveaway is comment 50, in which Knitiot said: My…

Thinking Spring!

April 7, 2011 by Amy

The crocuses are poking up through the frosty mulch this morning, and I share their determination. It’s SPRING, and nobody (not even the freak snowstorm we got last Friday) will tell me differently. I plan on blogging the knitting process destined for this yarn, though casting on will have to…

Plodding along

March 31, 2011 by Amy

I’m putting the finishing touches on the vest I showed you last time, and starting up some new stuff I can’t talk about (but which is very very very very exciting), and all in all it’s been too gray here today to get any good shots of anything. Including my…

Important Things

March 22, 2011 by Amy

The cowl sweater is done! I’ll probably wait until the fall to release this, now–everyone’s thoughts have definitely turned to spring–but before I can do any kind of releasing, I need to do everyone’s single least-favorite part of designing: Name the pattern. I had no idea how difficult this was…
