Thankful

November 26, 2014 by Lauren

Wow, what a year it’s been. In the year since I’ve been on board, Amy Herzog Designs has changed and grown and blossomed. We all pinch ourselves daily that this is what we get to do for work. It can be hard sometimes, working for a tiny startup, but the…

The Knitter’s Review Retreat is over once more, and Jackie and I are en route back home as you read these words, happy and inspired but ready for some family-time, too. We had a wonderful event at the utterly fantastic Yarn Culture in Fairport, NY after the retreat ended. (No…

Sweater Week: Featherweight Fabric!

October 20, 2014 by Amy

It’s the final day of Sweater Week (to go back to the beginning, click here), and today I want to talk about fabric – specifically, fabric as it relates to the CustomFit Featherweight cardigan. Since CustomFit builds your Featherweight specifically to suit your gauge, you can make your CustomFit Featherweight…

Sweater Week: I’m a Copycat

October 18, 2014 by Lauren

My involvement, and eventual employment, with CustomFit began because I’m a copycat. When I saw Jackie’s gorgeous Alpha sweater, I knew I loved it. Though she’s smaller than I am, and I’m a good six inches taller, we have a similar shape — broad shoulders, a small bust, a preference…

A Kindness of Knitters

September 30, 2014September 30, 2014 by Amy

During our closing ceremonies at the make, wear, love retreat this weekend, someone shared a wonderful quote from the wonderful Cat Bordhi: That the word for a collection of knitters is “a kindness”. I couldn’t agree more, and feel so incredibly lucky to have spent the weekend with such amazing…

Updates for all!

August 25, 2014 by Amy

The last sun-splashed days of summer are slipping by here in New England, complete with leaves falling and chilly nights. I’m soaking up knitting on the patio as often as humanly possible, which makes for good knitting progress but pretty mediocre updates here. So I have a bunch of updates…

Wrapping up the Summer Sweater KAL

August 14, 2014August 14, 2014 by Lauren

Lauren here! It feels like summer just got here, yet fall is almost around the corner! Some days I’m convinced that fall is in the air, and other days I’m sweltering under 95 degree weather (no, we don’t have air conditioning, and yes, I keep knitting anyway). August is halfway…

How & Why

August 1, 2014 by Jackie

I’m making slow, but steady, progress on my Summer Sweater. The days here have been an odd mix of super busy (as we’ve been working on some exciting CustomFit features that you’ll be seeing over the next few months) and peacefully quiet (as long summer days out in the sticks…

Best-Laid Plans

July 24, 2014July 25, 2014 by Amy

We had the summer all mapped out, my family and I. We’d move just after school let out, and then have a couple of weeks at our new home before I left for the super-awesome Super Summer KniTogether and a visit to my family in Maine. Nothing too close together,…

Lauren’s Summer Knitting

July 14, 2014July 14, 2014 by Lauren

Oh hey! Remember me? Things have been a little crazy at Amy Herzog Designs recently, and we’ve been quieter on this front than we’d like to be. I’ll let Amy tell that story when she returns to the land of the internet, and instead bring you an update on what…
