If you’re in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio or Michigan, this has been your Summer to visit with ModeKnit Yarn! We hope to see many of you at Stitches Midwest and/or the Michigan Fiber Festival! Getting a chance to visit with our customers is – in all honesty – the highlight of our trips!
Our fourth podcast is with one of my favorite designers, teachers and tech editors, Kate Atherley.
Kate is SHEER delight, such a wonderful woman to sit down with and have a nice chat and a comfortable knit.
Imagine if you will a car ride from New York City to Maryland in the spring of 2004. Gerry is at the wheel, Annie is swatching with silk, translating an idea that has percolated for months into a garment. A fabulous, romantic, lovely garment now known as The Corset Tank Top. The corset slowly takes …
I love knitting gifts for friends, and I love receiving hand-knit gifts. As I knitter, I appreciate the love and hard work that goes into creating a gift just for me. This past Christmas, Annie knit me a new Slippy Cowl. I accidentally felted the Slippy Cowl I knit for myself (that’s another blog post for …

I like to think I’ve actually come up with these Time Lord Gradient colors some time in 2018, when a female Doctor finally shows up, but through the magic of the Tardis we’re able to present these three gradient sets to you NOW!
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 …
I’ve been promising to show a few of my many works-in-progress here on the blog. Yesterday I popped over to Ravelry to check my projects page and I looked through my knitting bags here at home. I’ve realized a few things: Realization#1- I have a raging case of Startitis and have lots of projects started, or …
Did you know we have free patterns right here on our website? Annie designed a number of patterns for our different yarns, and they can be found here. Our favorite free pattern is the Slippy Cowl. This easy cowl looks great in two contrasting colors of ModeLuxe Worsted or ModeWerk Worsted. I’m wearing mine in this …
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 …
Yesterday, I promised to show you my UFO basket and my works-in-progress, but I think I’ll save that for the weeknd. Today I’d rather give you a sneak peek of the first Sock Club colorways! You might have seen this already on our Facebook page, but it’s so pretty I couldn’t resist showing the pictures …
Yesterday Annie and I both wrote about the fiber show we did on Saturday. It got me thinking about our 2016 show schedule, and what we do to bring our yarn to our customers. One of the things I do here at MKY is plan our travel schedule for the following season. This is the …
This past weekend we were vendors at Fall Fiber Festival right here in our own backyard. What an absolutely delightful show! What a long day! The day started at 5:30 am for load-up. For local shows like this, we don’t rent a trailer. (Hopefully we will be buying our own in the next 6 months). I …
The trees have turned, the leaves have fallen, and the vibrant fall colors are almost a memory, except we’ve captured them in yarn! These luscious colors are pictured in ModeWerk Worsted. I’m picturing our Slippy Cowl knit up in Maple Fire and October Sky. Or Buckeye and October Sky. Or Yellow Birch and Buckeye. I …
