One of our New Year’s intentions is to blog more in 2018. We kind of fell away from blogging last year as we got busier with shows and travel. And today is the perfect day to blog because it’s SNOWING! It been a snow drought this winter here in Saint Paul, so a snow …
If you place an order, please know that it will be given our full and complete attention AFTER we set up in our new studio on Sept 15, and it will be all the more beautiful for that!
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.
This weekend we: Dyed yarn. Annie and Becca are dyeing up a storm, getting ModeKnit Yarn ready for Interweave Yarn Fest March 31, April 1 & 2. Labeled yarn. We’re finishing up a large wholesale order; twisting skeins and writing out labels. Did bookwork. I’m getting the MKY books ready for our accountant. It’s almost …
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?
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 …
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 …
I’m usually terrible at taking selfiies. I throw my chin up at weird angles. I took this one back in February at a show we did in Madison, WI. I like that it shows off my Slippy Cowl. And my chin looks fine. Just a short post tonight. We were at Fall Fiber Fest all …
It’s very retro! 1970’s colors in all their glory. But I made sure I brought it home from my parents house in Florida. It’s the only thing I have that was knit by my mother, and I truly treasure it. It’s heavy and scratchy, and when I’m sick all I want to do burrow under …

We met new friends, reconnected with old friends, and sold lots of yarn, books and patterns. The mini skein …
What an amazing week. WOW. I have a kind of heady exhaustion right now I haven’t felt in a long time. It’s the kind of post-show-opening buzz one feels the day after first night of a hard theatrical production. A few things I did this week, each requiring varying amounts of mental and/or physical …
