About

I’m in my 20s, I’m married, and I live in Connecticut. I’m in law school, and I knit to stay calm and sane. My mom taught me to knit when I was a kid, and I picked it up again as a sophomore in college.

I’m getting into designing, and I’m loving it.

I graduated from law school in 2004. Sometimes knitting was the only think that stopped me from completely loosing my marbles.

Make sure that you and your husband make time to be together and do something fun at least once a week even if that means you have to slack on studying.

I am now in private practice in a small suburb of Columbus, Ohio. I use the basement of my office to hold my ever growing stash.

Good luck in law school and remember when writing your exams, always use IRAC. Law school professors have no appreciation for creativity. My first contracts exam I scored a 10 out of 45 possible points because I didn’t follow the IRAC rule.

Hi Emilee:

thank you so much for your kind comments on my blog about my Tuscany! Your work is impressive and I salute you for getting published in Knitty I also in particular love your Serrano - it is on my to-do list (after I saw the original in the LYS where the designer works!).

I wonder what it is that inspires so many legal types to take up knitting, or rather so many knitting types to take up law. I practice law to support my yarn habit - I graduated in 1998 and got called to the Bar in 2002 as it took me that long to decide what I wanted to do when I grew up! My area of practice is poverty law with most of my experience in residential tenancies, and I work in the free legal clinic system in my province. Good luck in your studies and non illegitimi carborundum!

Emilee,

Congrats on the law school thing! I’m just in the midst of my third year. I love Kristina’s comment that she practices law to support her yarn habit. That may be my new “away” message.

For good lawyer suits, try Talbot’s. I find their suits flattering for a lot of people’s shapes and sizes, they’re fairly well-made and they’r not overly expensive.

And drop me an e-mail if you need anything!

PS — I am quite enamored of your designs, but I am very much not at your level of knitting… Maybe someday!

Hello Emilee,

Is there any chance you’ll write up the pattern for your entrelac hat? It is beautiful! the best I’ve found.

Thanks,

I just finished Foliage-great pattern. I’m making it for a Christmas gift. I’m going to get a second ball of yarn and make a scarf to match. Thank you so much for the pattern, and I hope your exams went well. Happy knitting!

Wow, you are such a talented knitter. I love your hat patterns! They look a little beyond my skill level, but maybe I will try next time I am looking for a pattern.
