ABC’s ‘Suburgatory’ can’t follow a simple pattern

I’ve been a fan of ABC’s Suburgatory since it debuted in 2011. The sitcom is about a single dad (played by Jeremy Sisto — you may remember him as Elton in Clueless) who’s raised his teenage daughter Tessa in Manhattan, but decides to move them to the suburbs to get ...

What to stash this week: tennis, anyone?

I should probably get to swatching for my Waterlily (I plan to start it soon, but also need to finish the Aphasia I’m knitting in honor of a friend’s wedding), but if I had time to knit All The Things, I’d get Sarah Hurwitz’s ...

What to make with gradient yarn sets

You know you’re a knitter when you hear the word “ombre” and don’t automatically think hair. Indie dyers, including a few here on Indie Untangled, have been producing some incredible gradient sets. They rarely fail to make me swoon, but I always feel like I need some guidance ...

What to stash: Get your sharp little needles ready

OK, so I might not be quite so obsessed with Wes Anderson that I would drop over a grand to go on a Grand Budapest Hotel-themed cruise cruise (no, I did not make that up), but I am super excited about the Canon Hand Dyes Wes Anderson ...

The search for the perfect navy

In order to get some different perspectives on hand-dyed yarn, I will periodically run posts by other knitters. Yelena Malcolm Dasher, AKA ymalcolm on Ravelry, is incredibly talented and lightning fast, and she can probably finish more sweaters in a year than I could hope ...

What to stash this week, ’cause it’s spring!

Those of you not lucky enough to be Maryland bound this weekend can find solace in some really great stashing opportunities online.

First, an update from The Uncommon Thread TODAY at 4 p.m. BST. Two new colorways, including the delicious Sorbet ...

Knitting indie: Ready for spring (and for winter Down Under)

Even though it was a bit windy in New York over the weekend, the weather could not have been more perfect for the debut of my latest FO. Those of you who subscribe to the newsletter will be happy to know that my French Cancan ...

What to stash this week, new edition

One of the things I love about my “day job” as a journalist is spreading the news and telling people’s stories. This week, I get to introduce you to several artisans who are brand new to Indie Untangled and are also fascinating, talented folks.

One of these ...

The celebration continues on Ravelry

I would like to thank everyone who has participated in the first half of the launch giveaway and to congratulate our lucky winner, who has been notified. I hope that you still enjoy receiving the newsletter each Friday, and not to worry — this is ...

What to stash this week (and what else you can win)

There’s been quite a bit of buzz surrounding the launch of Indie Untangled. If you came here via Wednesday’s post on the Knitty blog, welcome! There’s plenty on here that I hope will entice you to stick around, though the word of the day is ...

Launch celebration giveaway!

If you’ve had a chance to poke around That Clever Clementine’s Etsy shop, you know she makes some super cute bags and notions pouches. A couple of years ago, when I was in Maryland for the Verdant Gryphon open house, I was ...

What to stash this week: ‘Despicable Me’ self-striping sock yarn and more

Indie dyers come up with the coolest things. Michelle of Berry Colorful Yarnings is now taking pre-orders for colorful self-striping sock yarns inspired by the “Despicable Me” movies. While at her shop, fans of a certain wizard might want to check out ...
