Congratulations to all of the knitters who have finished their Harbor Springs Sweaters so far—and for those of you that are still working on them, take it at your own pace! Your fellow knitters and I can’t wait to see your results. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, and the KAL materials stay live on […]
Another Video KAL comes to an end and as always, I was amazed by the talented knitters! Over 525 knitters joined in and the results have been truly amazing. Harbor Springs was a result of requests for a looser fitting raglan pullover. I wrote about understanding ease, and checked in on how things were going […]
Two weeks ago, clue #1 for the Harbor Springs Video KAL hit the in box of 350 knitters. We’ve only just begun and there are new knitters joining us everyday! We are now over 480 knitters strong! We have given out two fabulous participation prizes so far (we pick a new winner every week!), there are […]
It’s hard to believe we just started our sixth Video KAL. I am floored and honored that over 2000 knitters have joined in. We rolled out badges for the knitters who were in two or more of my previous KALs (Corcoran KAL, Tortola KAL,Soho Slip Stitch KAL, Rising Spades KAL and Costa Maya KAL). And now . . […]
I love sweaters. I love to knit sweaters. I love to wear sweaters. I have knit some great ones and some not great ones. Over the years I’ve made just about every sweater mistake that can be made. We have many video sweater class on my education platform (jump in anytime!), and it seemed like […]
Swatching for the Harbor Springs Video KAL is a great opportunity to talk about fit and the ever-mysterious concept of “ease.” In the video sweater class for Costa Maya I showed the same sweater tried on several different body types (The Many Shapes of Costa Maya.) This really helped people see how the same sweater […]

The Costa Maya KAL has wrapped up, and now I’m experiencing that same bittersweet feeling of pride and loss that comes with the end of a wonderful experience. Not unlike the wrapping of a show when I was working in theater. Even though it’s a little sad to say goodbye to Costa Maya, I’m once […]
Another Video KAL comes to an end and I’ll tell the truth, this one was special. Over 650 knitters joined in and the results have been truly amazing, Costa Maya was one of the most challenging things I’ve designed and wow, did these knitter’s rise to the challenge! Last month, I provided a sneek peek behind the […]
