Emily Explains: Knitting Surgery
Sometimes our knitting samples do not come out as we anticipate - something get lost in translation between desiging and knitting and you end up with this... You might not recognize it, but this is what our most recent Knitbits pattern, Malemute, looked like a few weeks before our photo shoot. For a few moments, it felt… Continue reading Emily Explains: Knitting Surgery

On Location: Fall/Winter ’14 Photography
It's hard to believe we're already closing in on the final day of photography for our Fall/Winter '14 season.
