Excitedly exhausted

June 27, 2013 by Amy

I’m back from TNNA, and the exhaustion of spending 72 hours madly catching up with everyone I only see once a year is warring with my excitement at all of the new projects that came out of the trip. I’m especially excited about the new sweater I debuted at the…

Twist Collective Spring/Summer: Cayley

June 18, 2013 by Amy

When the current issue of Twist Collective came out, I had just started the book events and barely had time to mention it! Now that things have settled down a bit, I wanted to take a post and step through my design process and thoughts for one of my patterns…

Alta redux

June 13, 2013 by Amy

Sometimes, things just don’t work out the way you plan. When I was ready to release Alta, I had envisioned a lovely set of photos showing Alta frolicking in the snow. Unfortunately, the charcoal gray color I’d picked out combined with dazzling white snow…. …well, they’re not such a practical…

Plane fare

May 15, 2013 by Amy

Fresh starts

March 22, 2013 by Amy

I love the smell of a new sweater pattern in the morning. (The yarn: Plucky Sweater in Narragansett Gray. The design: Coming soon, to a spring near you! Because it WILL BE SPRING SOON, right? Right?)

Release party!

March 20, 2013 by Amy

Traveling makes for some phenomenal knitting time, and when I wasn’t posting here over the past week or two I’ve been positively cruising through a sweater. Well. As much as anyone can be said to “cruise” through a sport weight sweater in my size, anyway! I think the feel of…
