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…

Rhinebeck begins: Maple Cotton Candy

October 15, 2013October 15, 2013 by Amy

Rhinebeck. Is there a word more magical to a New England knitter? I don’t think so. The New York Sheep and Wool festival is a yearly pilgrimage for me and thousands of other fiber enthusiasts. Everywhere, knitters are showing off their stuff and catching up on all things fiber artsy.…

Fashion Friday: Coastal Maine

October 4, 2013 by Amy

I’ve said, before, that I think fashion should serve us, rather than the other way around. I think style should be something that we define for ourselves personally, shaped by our own needs and lifestyle. If something doesn’t work for you, don’t do it! If you love something, do it!…

FF: Dalriada

August 23, 2013August 22, 2013 by Amy

Happy Friday! This week, we’re tackling a couple of topics near and dear to many of the women in my classes, through the design I’ve just released: Dalriada. (If you want a copy of Dalriada of your very own, by the way, you can buy it here.) One of the…

I have the utter and complete privilege of being featured in Twist Collective again, and I couldn’t be happier. Two of my designs are featured in the jam-packed Fifth Anniversary Fall Issue.

Wednesday is the new Monday

August 7, 2013 by Amy

Did I say I’d be back on Monday with details on how I modified Triangled? Hah hah, that’s so funny. Obviously, erm, I must have meant today. (Sorry about that.) When last we left off, you were leaving wonderful comments that I think I’ve now responded to on my Fashion…

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…

Fashion Friday, Pattern Release: Nantasket

July 19, 2013 by Amy

It feels appropriate to end this week with a more hopeful, onward-looking message than I began it. So for this Fashion Friday, I’m offering up a new pattern: Nantasket. (Models and photo credit both go to a combination of Jackie and myself. Pattern: Nantasket. For the impatient? Go ahead and…

Resurfacing

July 18, 2013 by Amy

Thank you all so much for your kind words and support. It is a difficult time, but it really helped to hear from all of you. There are a few happenings to share with you, and then it’s onward toward a new normal around here. Do you know about the…

Who is the Fairest of them all?

July 8, 2013 by Amy

I’d be mightily surprised if ever there were a more jumbled blog post. It’s been hot as blazes here, as my dad would say, and my brain is well and thoroughly scrambled. (I think I’m missing some fundamental bit of genetics that allows a person to deal when the thermometer…
