Crazy for Ewe

Starting a sweater is so fun and exciting--envisioning the garment, selecting just the right yarn and color, casting on and making fast progress.  But when all the pieces are bound off, there's still a lot to do before it's ready to wear.  You have to block all the pieces making sure everything is the right size and shape.  You have to seam the pieces, which is a whole other craft, and  you have to pick up stitches and do the edging.  Then, of course, there's the

There’s something magical about knitting with friends. Sure, knitting itself is wonderful—calming, meditative, and satisfying—but when you add community to the mix, everything changes. Knitting becomes more than just stitches and projects—it becomes connection—laughter, shared stories, encouragement, and a deep sense of belonging.

As far as knitting with others goes, the retreat is next level.  Everything is fun, but it's Sunday's Show and Share Brunch that's usually the highlight.  You can share your

As promised, I'm doing a Hunslet Cardigan Knitalong, and I’m thrilled to invite you to join us. We're starting February 3rd. This is your chance to knit this gorgeous cardigan while enjoying the camaraderie of other knitters, sharing tip

We’re back from an incredible weekend at Vogue Knitting Live, and my heart is full. These events are always a whirlwind of energy, excitement, and inspiration. It’s such a joy to reconnect with familiar faces from past events and meet so many new knitters who stopped by our booth.

Saturday morning was especially lively—things got a little crazy (in the best way!), but everyone was so kind and patient. It’s always such a pleasure to share the experience with you all.

We’ve all been there—that moment when life feels like too much. Maybe you’re juggling a million responsibilities and feel stretched too thin. (Kind of like how I as we get ready for Vogue Knitting Live.) That’s stress. Then there is that place when you’ve reached the point where it all feels impossible to handle, and you’re completely frozen and don't know what to do next.  That’s overwhelm, and trust me when I tell you that I have been there too.  In her book, Atlas of the Heart, the lovely Brene Brown,
