I’d almost forgotten what this feels like. The unadulterated thrill of holding a freshly-minted pattern book in my hands. Not just a pdf printout or a leaflet, mind you, but an honest-to-goodness book. A full three hundred and sixteen pages, no less. Don’t get me wrong. I love the digital age. I love the instant…

Happy Sunday! Before I get into this week’s message, I want to make sure you know about the free live zoom event that’s today at 3pm CT. All 15 Stars from Season 10 will be there, sharing stories from their filming, and we’ll have some sneak peek clips and prizes too – including exclusive kits…

Today I’m going to get a little personal (well who am I kidding, I’m always pretty personal here) and share about my own TV habits, and how I’m trying to get more intentional about evolving them. So when Luke is in town, the TV is on a lot more than when he is traveling for…

The other night was one of those most magical nights where I live, along the Gulf Coast. I was walking Charles Barkley on the powdery white sand beach, thinking about something I recently learned. The secret of the famous sand is Silica Quartz, which makes up 97-98% of our sand. It’s cool to the touch,…

Last year, we introduced something new called 19 Questions. It was inspired by Vogue’s 73 Questions, a popular video series created by filmmaker Joe Sabia, where celebrities are featured in their homes or similar environments, and asked 73 rapid-fire questions. I loved the 73 Questions series, except for one thing…it was pretty clear to me…

For the last few months, I’ve been saving a story I wanted to share with you. And now that filming of Knit Stars Season 10 is complete, and it’s just you and me here, the time has finally come. And given this week’s news, it seems especially important to share right now. It’s about my…

“Jingle Jangle Socks” by Twin Stitches Designs   “All of our bodies are beautiful,” says upcoming Knit Stars Season 10 Star Julie Ann Lebouthillier. “They’re also very different in terms of feet, body, chest – everywhere.” “And a lot of times, we are taught how to knit a sock, but not how to properly fit…

Special note to my readers: This week, we debuted a freshly-renovated Knit Stars YouTube channel. To celebrate, I recorded a podcast with more stories from my Maine adventure with Clara Parkes. You can watch it here. Here is me, driving the three hours from Alicia Plummer’s house in Maine to my next destination. It may…

Well, the sun is beginning to set on the epic filming adventures of Knit Stars Season 10. I’m freshly back from my first-ever trip to Maine, where I spent time with Alicia Plummer, Clara Parkes, Brad, and lots and lots of lobster. First, a fun fact: Remember earlier this year, when I teased that Season…

This Sunday, come along with me as we take a little peek inside Ann Shayne’s house and behind the scenes at the filming of the first-ever encore Knit Stars masterclass. Last year, Ann + Kay of Modern Daily Knitting approached me with an unprecedented ask… “Can we be in Knit Stars again? We already know…

Hey friend 👋, it’s been awhile since I did a personal update. So, before I get to this week’s “picture postcard” from Season 10 filming, here’s what has been up with me. First, on the knitting front, the double-size anniversary edition of my Rising Scarf in Koigu’s 10th anniversary pencil box is getting…so…close…! Just 4…

How is your summer going? Are you making much progress on your WIPs? If you wish you were making more progress, try flying to film 15 masterclasses all around the world in a few months. You’ll get a ton of plane knitting done! 😅😅😅 This past week was D+D week…Detroit and Des Moines. At the…
