The terms positive ease, negative ease, and no ease are frequently found in knitting patterns, and can be a hard concept to wrap your head around.  Many of you may find this scenario familiar: You’ve found the perfect sweater to knit, swatched for gauge (I can’t stress enough just how important this step is with garments), and it’s time to…

I’ve been really hard on myself the last two weeks. I keep feeling guilty for all the things that I think I “should” be doing. I can do 99% of my Nomadic Knits work from the comfort of my home office on my laptop, so social distancing shouldn’t really have an impact on my day-to-day activities. So why can’t I…

It seems the world has shifted. Fiber events have been canceled, many local yarn shops are temporarily closed, and people are voluntarily restricting their travel and avoiding public places. We commend these efforts and the hard choices and sacrifices that our community is making. It is our responsibility to support and protect one another to every extent that it is…

When you imagine the deserts of the American Southwest, you might picture saguaro cacti, creosote bushes, and gritty sand as far as the eye can see. Of course, you’ll also imagine the heat.  Oppressive, oven-like heat, the kind that broils the dust and turns the air above the highway into a shimmering mirage.  That’s exactly what (rather cold-blooded) Becky hoped…
