Back when this girl was knitting a sweater for her college boyfriend, could she ever have imagined… That she would open an ad agency and then a yarn shop… That she would have tens of thousands of Loops and Knit Stars friends all over the world… That she would write the story of her crazy…

This is a personal invite, from me to you, dear Scoop reader, to join my Tricycle Team. When I was 4, I begged my mom to let me go with her to the grocery. When I heard her keys jangle, I ran to the car… only to be told, nope, you can’t come with me…

It’s finally here. The LAST WEEK OF 2020 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 This is my favorite week of the year, every year. I call it my Deep Dive Week. A week to sink deeply into a project where I learn something new that I can apply in the New Year. Six years ago, my Deep Dive week led…

If you’re like me and most knitters I know, you don’t really need “resolutions.” We’re already driven. Goal-oriented. Productive. And often, more than a little hard on ourselves. Sound about right?

If you’re like me, your knitter’s mind is in a state of constant motions. The movement of our needles help still our thoughts… And drops us, blissfully, into the moment. Keep that movement in your needles and watch it reflected in Tif Neilan’s “Soulful Blanket Cowl.” This is a piece that stays in place, is…

This month we are welcoming Lichen and Lace to our February Pop-Up Shop! An independent dyer from New Brunswick, Canada, Megan has slowly grown her dye studio – from hobby, to passion, to art. Her colors have made her a favorite of knitters across the globe. To introduce Lichen and Lace to you, we chose their single-ply…

As we reach the end of “selfish knitting month” we have one more squishy-soft, instant gratification project to share, that you’ll probably want to keep for yourself…. This cowl has been a favorite at Loops. We love the combination of that speckled robin’s egg blue and mustard gold. And these bulky fisherman’s ribs stand up and say, “I’m…

A few months ago, Shelley and her friend, Knit Star Gaye “GG” Glasspie, were chatting about their mutual love of cashmere – specifically, Bespoke 100% Cashmere from Clinton Hill Cashmere! GG was lamenting that Bespoke Cashmere wasn’t yet available in her favorite color… 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Orange! 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Well, Shelley loves a good surprise…so she called up…
