The other week a writer, Alexandra Lange, reached out to me via Instagram and asked if I’d mind answering a few questions about knitting for the New Yorker. In my head I thought, ‘that sounds super fancy – why not?’ She emailed me some questions and we set up a time for a call. And on Monday, this article came out.
Some of you already commented or messaged me about it but I thought I’d share it here too. I was surprised to get quoted as much as I was but I also had a really great conversation with Alexandra. AND I’m hoping to see her with a finished knit sweater by the end of the year (I did suggest she try a Winston pullover – I’m totally making myself one since I made the last one for my friend).
And for other things to share…I saw this adorable video from Pixar in a billion places since it was posted and had to share. Check the video below, it’s too cute to not watch.

I am a fan! I love your fun and informative blog, follow your recommendations, and will soon start a Winston of my own. I love the New Yorker too, so what fun to find you inside Alexandra Lange’s article!
Thank you 🙂
One of my earliest memories is my mom trying to distract me with toys so she could read her New Yorker in peace! You for sure did a great job on the interview, Dana. And you brought back some sweet, funny memories of Mom, who was a ferocious sock knitter in her day.
I’ve never been one for bulky yarns, but a few weeks ago I took a spinning class and… guess what? All of a sudden I’ve got all this fat, fluffy, beautiful yarn to play with! They call it beginner’s yarn because it’s lumpy and uneven, but all I could see was Winston in my future. Thanks for another great suggestion.
Great article! (Despite omitting to mention Cher!)
HAHAHA everyone has asked if Cher is jealous and I told them it’s ok to let her little sister have the spotlight. Cher shies away from the camera more and more.
Purl knits ALMOST as fast as you do, DWJ!!!! I loved it, it was REALLY cute!
Always love your posts. ❣️🌟
When I saw the New Yorker article I felt like my worlds were colliding. What fun to see you quoted and she could not have reached out to a better ambassador for knitters! I guess your crazy year is going to continue.
Hi!
It’s so cool that you were interviewed for the New Yorker. It’s a good article even though she left out Cher!
I also enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing it!
So. Impressed. 🙂 I can’t wait to read the artcile.
Fun to see you in the New Yorker – that’s great! And thank you for sharing Purl! I hadn’t seen it elsewhere and it’s great! Here’s to a world that’s good for purls!
