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…

This week, I wish I had room in this newsletter for 1,000 pictures… Because every single one of your snapshots from last weekend’s Big Knit Stars Meetup brought a big Cheshire-cat smile to my face! More than 100 in-person meetups took place around the world. On SIX continents! (We tried to get some penguins to…

In this week’s installment of Picture Postcards from Knit Stars…take my hand and join me on a surreal journey where we head over the river and through the woods to a little barn that used to house boilers… And casually hang out, sip Diet Coke, and nibble salmon wraps alongside a name that commands reverence…

I’m writing to you late Tuesday night after a very full day of filming our 8th cinematic masterclass of Season 10 with Samantha Brunson. This one was really special, for a bunch of reasons… For starters, I had a feeling it was going to be amazing when I found out Samantha has a supremely lovable…

I’m freshly back from our Knit Stars Season 10 filming trip to Los Angeles, still recovering from jet lag, and back in your inbox with another in our popular “picture postcard” series… In which I am too tired from the trip to write much, so I let the behind-the-scenes photos do the talking! 😅 The…

Something has been on my mind lately… I’m curious, do you tend to knit + crochet alone, or in groups? As I look back, almost my entire making life has been a pretty solitary endeavor. I know, it’s surprising, considering that I’ve spent the last 20 years creating places and ways for Yarnies to connect……

It’s really happening! 💃🏻🕺🌎🧶🎉 The first-ever Big Knit Stars Meetup is coming together the weekend of July 18-20, and you’re officially invited. We had nearly 200 Knit Stars fans around the world raise their hands to host an in-person Knit Stars meetup! Many of them have secured their locations, dates and times, and have added…

This week, I’m rounding out our European picture postcard series with the sweetest ending…our pastry-filled journey through Lisbon, Portugal, with Season 10 Star Filipa Carneiro. After wrapping with Cecilia Losado in Sitges, Spain, I flew (along with cinematographer Brad and his wife, Cindy) to Lisbon, Portugal. We had been forewarned by Filipa that the Portuguese…

Wow…y’all blew up my inbox over last week’s newsletter! I’ll be honest, this “travel postcard” format was born from necessity, because I was so wiped out from the trip that I needed the newsletter to rely on photos from my phone, and not too many words… But apparently you loved it! 🥰 So thank you…

I’m writing to you at the tail end of our 2-week filming trip through Paris, Barcelona, and Lisbon, and have decided that for the next three weeks, I’m going to write you three newsletters that depart just a bit from our usual weekly format. They will be sort of extended picture-postcards of filming in each…

This week I’m headed to Paris to film with Franklin Habit, then Spain with Cecilia Losada, then Portugal with Filipa Carneiro, all for Knit Stars Season 10. But it won’t be the “postcard Paris” you can get on the Travel Channel or one of those river cruises… The Stars always put lots of thought into…

Happy Sunday! Well, actually, if I’m totally transparent and a little vulnerable here, I’m not feeling my usual happy self as I write this. How about you? How would you rate your wellness right now, 1 to 10? To be honest, mine has been hovering around the bottom of the scale, at the opposite end…
