UPDATED – Amy’s Protein Bars

On my third iteration of this recipe, I finally realized I had calculated the grams of protein incorrectly. The first two versions of this recipe actually had about 13 grams of protein per bar. Sorry, folks. In order to get a real high-protein bar, I had to double the protein powder. I think it will still taste good, as I’ve swapped in real sugar on the dietitician’s okay. I’ve removed previous versions and here’s what I baked this morning, with correct nutrition information. Amy’s Protein Bars (v3.0) 4 ripe bananas 1.5 c 0% greek yogurt (I used 0% Liberte Greek Yogurt Lactose Free which ...

Amy wearing a mask that looks like a snowman's face
Hi, all. It’s Amy. Way back when, I started Knitty as a blogger. Here’s the oldest post I can find. It was just me talking to you. Over the years, I’ve had the most wonderful people helping with/taking over (bless them! I needed a break from the whole thing!) the blog. Massive shoutout to Jillian Moreno and Kate Atherley for their brilliance, humour and charm for many years. They published on a regular schedule and created such great content! It was a lot of work for them, maintaining this place. So we decided it was time to shut’er down. With the world shut down as it has been over the last ...

Changes @ The KnittyBlog

Hello, y’all! We have some exciting news for you… a little change to how we do things at Knitty. Jillian, Penny and Kate have been keeping the KnittyBlog updated and current for years.

WWW: the science of cut resistance; Designtex + Stölzl & Anni Albers; resin knit ring

The science behind cut resistant gloves. Not only is the content and strength of the yarn important, but the structure of the yarn (a three-ply) is as well. All together these factors combine for a cut-resistant yarn. Please don’t expect this (yet) from the yarns you can find at your LYS. Designtex is making the creations of the Bauhaus weaving workshop commercially available. Works by both Gunta Stölzl and Anni Albers are featured in this Bauhaus Project. This resin ring by Isabell Kiefhaber is amazing.

This was the most popular spinning post of 2018. Everybody wants to shop! Originally posted in October 2018. Rhinebeck is this weekend, I can feel the shopping fever mounting!
