November MKG Meeting
Knitty, behind the curtain with Amy Sadler
Knitty launched in 2002 – 24 years ago! – when the internet was very different from the social-media-infused online knitting world we have today.
Learn about Knitty’s grassroots origins, how we do what we do, and heaps of insider tidbits from the Editor/Publisher [and the woman who started Knitty], Amy Sadler.
Amy Sadler is the editor of Knitty. She’s also the publisher and founder of the magazine. In 2002, it came to her in a dream while sitting on her living room couch that she should start an online knitting magazine to feature the knitting talent she’d been seeing on blogs all over the world in one tidy, professional-looking website. And here we are 24 years later. Next year, Knitty turns 25, and there are celebrations planned, both online and in person.
She lives in Hamilton, Ontario, with her husband, Mark, and her fur-child, Sky the rescue pup from Turkey.

After growing up in the city and suburbs, the owners of Get Bentz Farm felt a need to be closer to nature and to be more connected to where their food came from.
