New Felici Colors for Summer!
by on June 14, 2019

I’m so excited to show you our newest batch of Felici striped colorways!

Skeins of all ten new Felici colors, lined up in a long row

I have a personal reason that I’m especially excited about this release: I designed a bunch of them! I started here as a graphic designer last fall, and since then I’ve gotten the extremely awesome chance to help design yarn colors a few times so far, this batch being one of my first! I didn’t create all of these, but most of the especially colorful ones are by me … I tend to have the color taste of an artistic five year old. So if you happen to love this group of new colors, yay I’m so …

Pawtastic! Collection
by on May 17, 2019

Knit Picks Boston Terrier Sock pattern from the Pawtastic! collection. Designer: Margaret Mills

Let me start by admitting that this collection was long, LONG overdue. Our lack of doggo-inspired knits was something we lamented on a daily basis around the office. After the success of our feline-friendly 9 Lives Collection, we knew the clock was ticking for us to produce its canine counterpart. I’m beyond excited to announce that wait is over and we can officially introduce you to our newest labor of love, Pawtastic!

While every single pattern in this book gets an A+ in my opinion, there are a few that I can’t help but mention. And HEEEERREE they are!

Playdate: A Baby Knits Collection
by on April 5, 2019

Knit Picks Baby Graphic Cardigan patternDesigner: Quenna Lee

I make no secret of how much I love, love, LOVE tiny babies and their tiny baby clothes. The look on my face and audible squeal I make whenever I see a new human in a grownup looking garment is also kind of a giveaway, too. Imagine my delight when I learned we were planning a baby knits collection for this spring! Hoo-boy. It was some next-level excitement.

First things first—is there anything more heart melting than a little one in a teeny knit cardigan? I think not. This new collection offers several versions of this wardrobe staple to choose from! One such project is the Baby Graphic Cardigan, featuring the classic top …

Stitch Story: Aran Islands
by on March 4, 2019

Photo credit: www.aranisland.info

Knitters in the know are often more than familiar with the classic Aran jumper; big chunky Irish ganseys (or guernseys), traditionally hand-knitted from unbleached wool. Originally worn by working fishermen, they also became popular fashion garments in the US during the “golden” era of Hollywood. Grace Kelly. Steve McQueen. Paul Newman. Marilyn Monroe. Icons in their own right, the stars of the silver screen adopted this classic garment as part of their everyday attire. As such, it’s no wonder the treasured Aran knit sweater continues to be reinvented to this day in the fashion industry.
Love a good urban legend? There happens to be one based on the stitches of these namesake sweaters. The story goes that each jumper knit for fishermen in the …
