The Winter Olympics always put me in a very specific mood: focused, cozy, and ready to cast on something special. This year, we’re embracing that energy with our Knitting Olympics Knit-Along, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.

One of my favorite things about knitting is that there’s always something new to learn, no matter how long you’ve been at it. Next February will mark forty years (!!) since I first picked up needles as a student in Germany. After years of scarves, hats, socks, and baby gifts, I fell in love with the world of shawls. Lace, colorwork, cables, beads—the more challenging, the better! When I moved from long-term...
