About Me:
I'm the newest member of the Knitpicks Design Team! I've been knitting since I was a little girl, I knit English, love wool, and used metal needles until our Zephyrs came out and I was finally reunited with my first needle love, acrylic! (yes, it's true.) I look forward to getting to know you all!

Fraternal Twins

For some reason, I'm rebelling against my summer knitting.


Last weekend, I didn't want to work on my socks, or my lace, or my cotton tshirt projects. They all require concentration that I didn't have, and trying to work on them just felt tedious and frustrating. So I cast on for a… Continue

Finally Done!

With my City Tweed Sweater, that is!



I'm very, very happy with this piece. What else can I say? It was a long project, but enjoyable at every step of the way, the yarn is luscious, the sweater is warm, but thanks to the lace patterning, not stifling, and I'm wearing it today even tho… Continue

It Counts as Lace, right?


With all this recent talk of lace and socks and warm-weather knitting, you might think that I'd forgotten about my City Tweed sweater. Well, I HAVE slowed down a bit, but progress is sti… Continue

Nina,
Thank you so much for the help for the Little Bubbles sweater. That is exactly what I was doing wrong. I have never had to M1 increase that way before.
Now I can knit on.
Thanks Again,
Terah

Nina,
Thanks for responding so quickly. I realize that the KP crew has been extremely busy, what with all the "new" stuff you are offering, new KALs, new colors and weights of yarn. I'll keep my eye out for the pattern. Susan

Nina,
Has KP put the Little Bubbles Set pattern on the webpage yet. I've been watching for it, and have ordered my yarn. I was just curious when it would be available.

thanks, Susan

I joined the KAL with the tweed yarn. I probably should of waited. I purchased three books to get an idea of what to make. Then I can purchase the yarn. Will it be too late by then? I am sorry if it is an inconvience. Please lrt me know. craftermaybe

I just noticed the new face on the staff page. Welcome to KP - though a little late. Hope you enjoy this as much as everyone else seems to. I've only been knitting a few years, but love it. I just started learning to spin, and am inspired by the variety of projects, yarn and ideas presented by KP.

Again, Welcome!

Welcome! How did you get the job with knitpics? I would love that job!

Nina, glad to meet you and best of luck to you at Knit Picks! Seems like a dream job to me! I can hardly imagine knitting during a meeting a work! Look forward to seeing some of your designs too!
I mostly knit English, but sometimes knit Continental. Purl I can't do Continental though. Just can't manage it. I have never tried knitting with wooden needles. Maybe I should try it?

Anyway good luck to you and look forward to seeing you around!
Amy
