“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.

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.

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……
