Bits and bobs
Written on November 1, 2011 at 12:13 am, 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 Coast this weekend. Our home Continue Reading
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 teaching, I’m working on some Continue Reading
Dribs and Drabs

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 best friend/maid of honor needs Continue Reading
Thinking Spring!
Written on April 7, 2011 at 4:47 am, 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 wait a week or two. Continue Reading
Plodding along

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 new haircut, so you’ll just Continue Reading
Important Things

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 before I started designing. The Continue Reading
Scattershot
Written on September 30, 2010 at 1:55 pm, by Amy
It’s the end of the fiscal year for my company, which means that my job has been even more interrupt-driven than usual these past few weeks. September is never my favorite month for that reason, and by the end I’m always feeling really scattershot and drained. So I’m afraid I don’t have anything coherent or Continue Reading
2009 Round-Up, now with new content!
Written on January 1, 2010 at 7:05 am, by Amy
What an intensely busy, mostly wonderful year. I know 2009 was rough for many, and we certainly had ups and downs Chez Stashknitrepeat, but overall it’s been a pretty amazing year. Most of all, I’m thankful that we’ve gone from here: To here: Without too much trouble, even. We’re very grateful to have such enjoyable Continue Reading
Swollen
Written on July 2, 2008 at 11:59 am, by Amy
As if I needed another reason to be… well, less than excited about a summer pregnancy in Boston, my hands are so swollen that most days I can’t actually get my hands closed into a fist. Knitting is largely out of the question. Lucky for me, the lovely wry punster thoughtfully suggested that I do Continue Reading
Coffee talk
Written on April 14, 2008 at 10:50 am, by Amy
Yeah, yeah, there’s another FO to share, but hasn’t it been awhile since we just chatted? Life has sure been busy, and it seems like I have lots to tell you. First of all, the wee beastie is doing just fine. Unfortunately, the swelling that plagued me for so much of my pregnancy with Jacob Continue Reading
