In that short time, she has quickly become one of our favorite designers for collections, with her meticulous pattern writing and signature design style.

One of the reasons I love knitting over crochet is the amazing texture that knit stitches have. When using a super chunky yarn, the texture is amplified! That is why I love our Super Tuff Puff yarn.

Raise your hand if your travel itineraries start with stops that involve yarn, fabric, thread, or anything tangentially related to crafting? Oh man, me too! Last summer my husband and I traveled to both the island of Bornholm and Copenhagen for ten days. Before I penciled in any castles, gardens or museums, I had a map of every craft-adjacent institution in both places first. Tag along for my list of places I recommend stopping and the places I wish we’d been able to see! |

Monotonous tasks just seem so much better when you have friends around, even if those friends do live in your earbuds or on your screen. Since all of here at Knit Picks staff are big fans of various multitasking media, we thought we share some of our favorites with you. |
