I keep seeing a similar sentiment popping up everywhere lately. It goes something like this: “Wow, 2025 has been crazy.” “I’m just exhausted.” “I’m so ready to put this year behind me.” If you’re feeling this way, I see you.

It feels so amazing, knowing…

BUT I recently learned about the ruby-throated hummingbird of eastern North America, and I can’t stop thinking about it. Every year, these teensy creatures begin storing up calories…

Last year, we introduced something new called 19 Questions. It was inspired by Vogue’s 73 Questions, a popular video series created by filmmaker Joe Sabia, where celebrities are featured in their homes or similar environments, and asked 73 rapid-fire questions. I loved the 73 Questions series, except for one thing…it was pretty clear to me…

I’m freshly back from our Knit Stars Season 10 filming trip to Los Angeles, still recovering from jet lag, and back in your inbox with another in our popular “picture postcard” series… In which I am too tired from the trip to write much, so I let the behind-the-scenes photos do the talking! 😅 The…

The best gift – a photo with all 3 grown-up Brander kids! And no, I didn’t make my sweater – but I could have! 😅 ‘Twas the day after Christmas, And all through the land, The Yarnies were finally Resting their hands. The knit gifts were nestled atop lucky heads. “Hatch Hat” from Clinton Hill…
