Knit Stars Scoop

You’re a maker. You can make anything you set your mind to. So why stop at yarn? Why not make your biggest, most “impossible” dreams come true? They told me, because I had asthma, I’d never be an athlete. They told me girls couldn’t be creative directors. They told me, “You’ll never make a living out of yarn.” So what have they told you? What are you telling yourself? I’d like to help you write a new story. Make a new dream, then make it come true. In advance of my upcoming book, “Move the Needle: Yarns from an Unlikely Entrepreneur,” you're invited to join...

This is a personal invite, from me to you, dear Scoop reader, to join my Tricycle Team.When I was 4, I begged my mom to let me go with her to the grocery. When I heard her keys jangle, I ran to the car... only to be told, nope, you can’t come with me this time.That word though – can’t – didn’t sit well. Just the opposite. It triggered something powerful, deep inside. So right after mom backed out of the driveway, I took to the highway - on my tricycle.As I look back, every time I heard “can’t,” it...

  Often in this space, I talk about “effortless” projects. I’m a big believer. We can can pick them up easily, while juggling all the other balls of life. They widen the circle, allowing stitchers of all levels to play along together. Easy projects show off the yarn. And they’re wearable – simple is often the underpinning of chic. But these last couple months have reminded me of the joy of the more complex project.The kind that you can really sink your teeth into. The kind that engages the farthest reaches of my complicated mind, transports me, soothes me in a way...

One of the most magical things about yarn… Sometimes a mere *1 skein* of a very special yarn can be enough to help you feel lighter…more optimistic…more cared for.  Clinton Hill Cashmere just released a new 1-skein pattern for their Bespoke 100% cashmere yarn. “Mini Sophia” is an ultra-simple ribbed cowl that knitters of all levels will love making - and wearing.
