Meghan and I just discussed our realistic-yet-still-ambitious Rhinebeck sweater goals, which can only mean one thing: Fall is almost here! We’re on the tail end of a completely insane eighteen months that included a lot of emotional ups and downs, a(nother) new baby for Courtney, and the design, marketing, and release of 4 new yarns….

Designer Feature: Yoked Pullover by Norah Gaughan / Vogue Early Fall 2018
When Lori from Vogue came into our booth at TNNA and said “come with me! I have to show you something!”, I had no idea what to expect.

Designer Feature: #11 Diagonal Stitch Pullover by Sarah Hatton
The recently released early fall issue of Vogue Knitting included a lovely sweater designed by Sarah Hatton using The Fibre Co. Luma in sangria, and I am totally smitten for the vintage style!

Courtney’s Fair Isle Cowl
Back in November, I was lucky enough to attend VK Live in Minneapolis as a teacher. It was a wonderful time, and in anticipation I participated in the Vogue Fall Knit-Along and knit Gudrun Johnston’s Fair Isle Cowl from the Fall 2016 issue of Vogue Knitting. I tried furiously to get it knit before the…

Designer Feature: #24 Eyelet Top by Yoko Hatta
Our daughter, Charlie, is in her first year of pre-school, and with it comes school holidays – something we were not accustomed to at her in-home daycare she attended the two years prior. It dawned on us (admittedly a little late in the game), that Charlie had most of this week off of school, so…
Vogue Winter 2015/2016: Fitted Hat
I was recently asked to design a project for the Bohus inspired story in the newest Vogue Knitting magazine, and immediately thought of creating a hat out of four shades of The Fibre Co. Cumbria Fingering. Unlike the angora-heavy yarns of traditional Bohus, the Cumbria Fingering has a very subtle halo from the mohair, making…

A moebius cowl, VK Live, Meg Swanson + The Farm
Not a bad lead in for a post, eh? And not too shabby for a Saturday. How did it all begin? Well, as you know, we wrote a book. (Officially released today)! And this winter and spring we are going on a little tour to promote said book. The first stop on the tour was…

Vogue Knitting Fall 2009 – #13 Lace Beret
Kate was delighted when Tanis Gray approached her to submit a hat design for this Fall’s issue of Vogue Knitting. Not only was Tanis wonderful to work with, but it is a well-known fact that Kate loves designing slightly slouchy hats. For her inspiration, Kate thought about late summer and early fall knitting and what…
