KNIT ALONG || INTERVIEW WITH ALINA SCHNEIDER OF GIFT OF KNITTING WITH GUEST MICHELLE CARTER

KNIT ALONG || INTERVIEW WITH ALINA SCHNEIDER OF GIFT OF KNITTING WITH GUEST MICHELLE CARTER

When planning this year's Summer Sweater Knit Along I thought it would be fun to introduce a few new fun posts (and writers) to go along with our guest tutorials etc. I invited the lovely Michelle of My So Called Handmade Life (Mamatronic on Ravelry) to write a guest post and I was excited to see what she would come up with. I've been a fan of Michelle's for years! She's got a fabulous eye, is an amazing knitter and has a fun blog. Bonus - her photos of her knits are always my faves in our knit alongs. She just has that special touch for taking WIP and FO shots. She's also our newest helper for this year's SSKAL. I hope you enjoy the fabulous interview she did below with the equally as talented knitwear designer Alina Schneider of Gift of Knitting Designs. Enjoy!
