Our Team

Hi, I'm Amy (she/her)! I'm a business owner, hand spinner, yarn lover, obsessive knitter and podcaster. Along with making things, I'm passionate about creative small businesses and yoga! At the heart of my business is this idea that making things makes us better. This might look like more creativity and confidence or more patience and peace in your day to day life. In a nutshell, it's not just about the yarn - it's about finding something that helps you and makes you feel like your most authentic, best self! Of course, my hope is to make it all a lot of fun and to connect with other like minded makers along the way. I feel incredibly grateful to do and share the things I love here at Knit Collage.

Melanie (she/her) is Director of Operations at Knit Collage where she helps will all things website and inventory related. She stumbled into knitting when, upon moving to North Carolina after living 20+ years in Florida, she discovered how long and cold winters are. Knitting instantly became an obsession (for both Melanie and her two cats) and ever since that first project, she's had something on her needles at all times. When not knocking out stitches on a current wip, Melanie is likely stretching out on a yoga mat or happily lost on a hike in nature. 

Stacy (she/her) is our Community and Pattern Testing Manager at Knit Collage.  She assists with customer service and support and manages our Knitalong/Make-Along and Creative Knitters Facebook groups.  She is a serial crafter and loves making! Stacy also runs our pattern testing, where she is quick to answer questions, coordinate with testers and ensure timely pattern formatting. She knits, crochets, quilts, does embroidery, and fabric art, amongst other things.  Her new fave craft is basket weaving!  She lives in hot Houston, TX but that doesn’t stop her from making all the wooly things!

Cheryl (she/her) is one of our resident knitting coaches and pattern designers here at Knit Collage. She is a long time contributor and has designed many patterns including the Flower Power Cardi. Cheryl has worked in pattern support for many years and has helped with our KAL/MALs from their inception. When she's not knitting or providing support, Cheryl enjoys long bicycle rides and sailing with her family. If you have any Knit Collage knitting/crochet related questions please feel free to reach out to her!

Amy Mac (she/her) is our Customer Care Manager and Marketing Coordinator. She loves being part of the Knit Collage team and enjoys connecting with community members over social media, email, and calls. Shortly after adding "Learn something new" to her list about 5 years ago, she took a beginner knitting class at her local yarn shop. The next year, after being gifted a hot pink crochet hook from her best friend, she turned to YouTube to learn how to crochet stars and moons. Her finished object collection continued to grow thanks to Creative Knitters and the Knit Collage Make-alongs! It's pretty much been all yarn all the time since then, with Knit Collage yarn being her all-time favorite (Daisy Chain Sweet Papaya if she must choose)! If Amy Mac is not knitting or crocheting, she can usually be found walking to the library while appreciating the magic of the changing seasons. If she can be of any help to you throughout your creative journey, please send her an email!

Pia Thadani (she/her) is our Technical Editor, tasked with making sure our patterns are easy to read and error free! She’s an all around fiber fanatic and is passionate about crochet, knitting, spinning, and weaving, among other crafts. Pia is brand new to the team this fall.

Paige is a recent addition to our Knit Collage team helping with customer service and sample knitting. Paige learned to knit from her Mom when she was in college but truly caught the knitting bug after her second child was born about 8 years ago. Paige learned about Knit Collage by joining her first Make-along back in 2022. She became a creative knitter member and has loved all things Knit Collage ever since. When Paige is not knitting, she enjoys being outside on hikes with her family, watching her daughter play soccer, walking her dog, and tending to her backyard chickens. 

Julia (she/her) is the Organic Social Media Assistant and Copywriter here at Knit Collage where she helps Amy prep content for social media, the weekly emails and our website listings. She started out working with Knit Collage as a pattern design contributor—her designs include the Desert Highway Sweater and Scarf and the Lotus Sweater. She loves all things fiber, but mainly knitting which she learned at the public library when she was nine years old and never looked back! If she’s not knitting, she’s probably on a woods walk with her two dogs and baby boy or with her face in a good book.
