Why this even REMOTELY matters to you, our beloved customers, is that once her house is on the market, Annie won’t be able to use their basement to dye yarn. The goal is to get the house listed by early May.

Christmas in Conneticut

A few weeks ago, I shared the story of ModeKnit Yarn. In that post, there is a picture of my mother, MaryAnne P, taken on Christmas Eve 2012. Christmas was her favorite holiday of the year. Growing up in Connecticut, we always had a big celebration. Everyone came to our house on Christmas Eve and

This is the view over my house in Saint Paul right now. It’s clear and cold, and the snow missed us this time. I don’t think we’ll be this lucky later in the week. What’s your Saturday look like?

This might have happened on the way home from the Fosston Fiber Festival in early October. This also might have happened at the same time. This particular larger-than-life Paul Bunyan is in Akeley, MN, also known as the birthplace of the big guy. There are lots of fun sites like this all over Minnesota, and

Leave a Comment / FLOW, St Paul Stuff / By Kathleen Pascuzzi

I’ve been cleaning out my office, trying to consolidate paper, photos, and stuff from my mom’s house. It’s been an epic job, and it’s ongoing. I keep coming across things I forgot about, especially photos. I found my kindergarten class photo from 1973, and it’s pretty cute. Here’s me wearing a crocheted granny-square vest made

Throwback Thursday: Our ModeKnit Yarn Story

Leave a Comment / MKY, St Paul Stuff / By Kathleen Pascuzzi

One question Annie and I are asked all the time is How did you two meet? Another question is How/Why did you start ModeKnit Yarn? The answers to both are intertwined. Annie and I met back in May of 2008 (I think). My friend Karen and I took one of Annie’s knitting classes at Shepherd’s
