While all of us here mainly do yarny crafts (how could we not, while being surrounded by all this gorgeous yarn?), we thought it would be fun to give a peak at other crafts we play with during our off hours! For instance, Hannah sews up a storm - every week she comes in with a new project. This dress is one of her favorites: |

Oh, my precious Preciosa, I love you so. Preciosa has long been a favorite of mine. It's so squishy soft and the colors are just so happy. Best of all, throughout the month of June, it's 20% off! |

Wondering how the Knit Picks staff is faring with their New Year's Resolutions now that a quarter of the year has passed? I was too, since, statistically speaking those with remaining New Years Resolutions, like myself, have less than a 50% percent chance of completing them. ACK! But I'm a glass-half-full type, so I'm confident there is still time. Let's see how the others have progressed since our last check in. |

If you know me, you know I love big yarn! That's why I was so excited when we decided to take our already sizeable super bulky yarn, Tuff Puff, and make it EVEN BIGGER! The result is Super Tuff Puff, a gigundo (a technical term) yarn that gets an astonishing 1.5 stitches to the inch, and it's perfect for projects with strong visual punch. Simple stitch patterns really stand out in it, and it knits up so fast it's a bit dizzying. |

With the US getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving this week, all of us here in the KP office have been thinking about what we are thankful for this past year. Here's what is on our lists: |

We have recently had some staff changes here at the Knit Picks office. It took a few months to find just the right person, but we are happy to introduce. . .me! I’m Daniel, and I am the new Administrative Assistant for Knit Picks. I’ll be around to do the fiddly, little things that no one else has the time (or inclination) for. In addition, I am the new Coordinator for our Independent Designer Partnership Program, so if you are one of our Independent Designers (or would like to be!) you’ll be working with me. |

Everybody, I'm more excited than a kid on Christmas morning to introduce you to our newest yarn line. It's a yarn I have wanted us to carry for ages, because the softness, lightness, and warmth are just incredible. |

Hello Stash Readers! Hold onto to your hats, not only for the impending fall winds, but because I am making an intarsia baby blanket. You may remember me from my intro podcast or the post about my knitting the Learn to Knit Kit Scarf, if not I will give you a brief introduction. I am the merchandise planner for Knit Picks and new to completed project knitting. I'm great at starting things, but I was always merely dabbling. It wasn't until I started working here that the bug truly took hold, maybe a little slower than others, but I've caught it and have gone a touch off the rails. Once I mastered the knit stitch, completing my garter stitch scarf, I started another scarf in Tuff Puff practicing stockinette, and that is coming along swimmingly. |
