I have been terrible at taking pictures and blogging about finished projects. I really, really have been knitting as much as ever, and here is a little proof. This is my Nederland Vest (from the fall 2008 issue of KnitScene) in… Continue

I was so excited about the Every Way Wrap when it came out in the Fall 2009 issue of Interweave Knits. I had never knit reversible cables before (unlike regular cables, this cable pattern looks good on both sides; there isn't an obvious front and back - which means you're crossing s… Continue

I'm the vice president of Knit Picks. Mostly, I do number crunching, merchandising planning and product development. I love that my job mixes the creative with the analytical.
I've been knitting for about 7 years, and I try to learn something new with each project - except for the little projects that keep popping up just for fun, and socks, always socks. I also love to sew, read, hike, and daydream about home improvement projects (I see a big garden in my future).
What's your Ravelry ID (if you have one)? (www.ravelry.com)

Hi Susan, my Ten-Stitch is coming along, but progress feels slow because it is taking longer and longer to go around each time as the circumference increases. I think I have about 40 to 50 more knitting hours on it before it will be finished. I'll definitely post photos when it's done!
Hi Tina, I just joined the UFO KAL and watched your intro video. Very nice! I have too many UFO's to video or post pics of (sad but true), but I just thought I'd tell you that I am doing the cable coat (your #1UFO of video). I have both sleeves done and am about 1/4 or more done with the back. Mine is in a heather teal it is gorgeous and my goal was to have it done for this fall-well Fall is here and the coat is in my UFO bin ;-/ SO, maybe we can inspire each other on this project. Actually, like you, I have several unstarted UFO's that are gifts for Christmas so I am planning on "saving" the cable coat for after the Holidays-that is my "reasonable" new goal. Thanks for starting this KAL...it will be great fun and hopefully motivation for me.

thanks for showing the photo shoot! also, re the waterbottles. would you photo one of them? (would that ruin the fun for your gift recipients?) i have to admit that i am intrigued, but wouldn't know what one looks like or where to get one.
also, are you giving the bottle too, or only the cover.
Tina==don't know who to mention this to --I have gotten 2 messages lately that were obviously spam--just deleted one that alleged to want to be friends--a work scheme. Just thought you all should know that some one is abusing the fun. Thanks--
I have been listening to the podcasts for awhile. I enjoy the times when you are chatting with Kelley. You have a soothing and comfortable voice. Knit Picks is the best. I love the yarns, the needles, the patterns and books. You guys are doing a fantastic job! Love it! Love it!!
Hi Tina! Thanks for the "friendvite!" I've been knitting since about age 12. Taught myself to knit using 2 pencils & a ball of kite string. I've been working on a Debbie Bliss smock dress for my granddaughter, but currently have health issues affecting my vision. I don't know when the eyes will settle down so I can start some serious lace! Love the KnitPicks family, website, & products!

What is the deal with all the junk posts on the blog page recently? Is there a way to kick these ppl off Knit Picks?
