Go, team!

February 2, 2014 by Amy

I tend to think of myself as a fairly cautious, reserved person, in general. I like to observe, think, consider, and weigh options before I act. This summer, when I left my day job, I was taking an exceedingly rash plunge (at least for me). All through the whirlwind of…

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…

Intentions, Gratitude, Excitement

December 31, 2013 by Jackie

We’ve had a great week! Thank you to everyone for your thoughtful responses and conversations on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter. You made this year-end social media party a blast. Last week we asked you to consider your 2014 intentions for your knitting. Here’s what we came up with! Lauren…

Selfish Knitting Season

December 26, 2013December 30, 2013 by Jackie

Hi, Lauren here! This is my first post on the Amy Herzog Designs blog, and I’m so excited! Now that Christmas has come and gone, I’m here to talk about the approach of selfish knitting season. If you’re anything like me, you don’t decide to knit holiday gifts until far…

Holidaze

Christmas is almost upon us, which probably means your needles are frantically flying through your last gift (or three). How are your projects coming?

On knitting, gifts, and love.

I love the holidays for so many reasons. I adore the celebrations. The time with my family is the most precious thing in the world to me. I’m a huge fan of winter, and love the twinkly lights and evergreen smells that abound. There’s no better time to pull up…

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:…

Fashion Friday: Worthy

November 22, 2013 by Amy

I’m having so much fun keeping up with the CustomFit Knit-A-Long. (Have you seen the Pinterest board yet? It’s looking so inspiring!) As I make my way to lovely College Station Texas today, I wanted to talk a little about my own swatch, and the process from swatch to design.…

Daydreams and Timelines

November 18, 2013November 18, 2013 by Amy

Thanks to the wonder of living in the time and place that I do, I am writing this post on a plane to San Francisco. Tomorrow Jackie and I will be doing a whirlwind yarn store tour (yay, CustomFit LYS!)… …and here, on this plane, I’m daydreaming about my Knit-A-Long…
