Our dream: By moving towards selling yarn from local-ish, ethically sourced fiber, we hope you bring your sweater a little bit closer (figuratively speaking) to the sheep it came from. (Or alpaca, or goat, or bundle of flax!)
For those about to craft, we salute you.

I love this! I want to make something like it.
This is a little bit clever :0) [I mean a lot clever.]

The Knittrix will be at VANCAF this weekend, so stop by if you’re around. We’ll have copies of Issue #1, buttons, and some sweet new prints from Elise.
Elise and I are listed separately on the floor map, but we are both at table G4. Come by to chat comics and yarn!

One of my favorite projects that I’ve made - I knitted this out of Cascade 220 in order to teach myself different stitch patterns and techniques when I was first learning.
Writer/illustrator/knitter Franklin Habit joins us for his monthly column on the life of a yarn crafter. I was at a yarn shop a few weeks ago, troubleshooting a thumb gusset in the company of those…
Great article from Franklin Habit on the divide between those who knit and those who crochet.
I would love to see more mixed-media patterns, personally.
i was teaching my grandma to use computer so we can talk on skype and such but today she went kinda mad at me because “i didnt show her the knitting programme” and i was like what
and it comes out she accidentally opened ms excel and found out its a great way to create knitting patterns
my grandma is 82
Feel good story of the week.

Good news! You can now purchase a print copy of The Knittrix: Issue One online through Alison’s Etsy store.
We are hard at work on the second issue, but purchasing a print copy of the first will help us print future issues as well.
Your comic will be 5.5” by 8.5” and will be professionally printed on glossy paper.
If you’ve enjoyed The Knittrix, we’d love your support to help us carry on Madeline’s story!

Love the colorwork on the top and bottom left. Like continents of color.
