- About Me:
- I am a senior marketing manager here as well as the Knit Picks catalog manager. I handle all the photo planning, styling, layout and copy for the catalog and web along with helping to plan and organize our advertising campaigns for Knit Picks and our sister companies.
I am a relatively new mom (10 months now) as you all have seen pictures of my daughter in our catalogs. You can expect to see more whenever the need arrises as I love to share her with you... So my knitting has been way laid a bit...
I learned originally to knit from Grandma but didn't have the patience for it at the age of 13. When joining the staff here it just didn't seem to make sense to not knit. I do really love to knit though as it suits my "process" personality. I have always enjoyed things that take little effort but keeps my fingers moving and my brain engaged so if it isn't knitting it is crossword puzzles, sudoku, or jigsaw puzzles.

The kids catalog is one of my favorites because we get to choose cute things to knit from small garments to toys, toys, toys and being a mom I can appreciate all these things. It does come with its own challenge… Continue Posted on May 20, 2009 at 11:29am — 2 Comments
Wedding Gift
So two of my best friends are getting married this summer and they aren't registering for gifts because they are older and have all the basic necessities but I really wanted to do something for them.

OpArt Baby Blanket
This is the OpArt Baby Blanket from Fall 2008 Knitty. I immediately fell in love with it because not only is it not overly baby it appeals to the graphic design side of me. At the time I wasn't pregnant but knew that was part of the… Continue Posted on April 17, 2009 at 8:30am — 15 Comments

THE YOUTUBE VIDEO PROOFI think I noticed it most in the most recent (April 2009) catalog on pages 14 & 15 with the projects from Mason-Dixon Knitting: outside the lines. I am very intrigued by these and would love just a little more data about them because I don't have the book yet.
Thanks for such awesome catalogs and photography!
I knitted a second paid for my boss's retirement in February, and he seemed thrilled. My other knitting friend in the office knitted him a Blue/Gold afghan (one of her signatures), and he was overwhelmed.
I wrote out the pattern so that it could be duplicated. I have a few orders for similar socks in other school colors, too.
Just got my new catalog today. I just love when it arrives. My mind does flip flops imagining how to use new products.
You sent me an email response several months ago, and I mentioned my original sock patterns. I tried all this time to email them to you, but the dialup that I have to use - Rural, OH just would'nt do it.
I put pictures of my socks and my dog sweaters (my first real project) on my new MY PAGE. Just look for Blue Lake Knitter, and let me know what you think. The collegiate socks are made with Pallette and the Feather and Fan socks from some leftover Lion Brand Microspun
Hope you like them. I'm probably going to put a few more pictures on this weekend.
Thanks. I value your opinion.
