Everyone has their favorite knitting items, those that they recommend over and over. I have mine, too, and I'm here to recommend them to you! Here goes. I've loved Boutique Knits since it came out a couple of years ago. It's a book that I've given as a gift several times (and I've...

A note from Kathleen: It's been quite a decade for us here at Interweave.

A note from Kathleen: My friendly UPS gal brightened my day again on Friday and delivered the winter 2009 issue of Interweave Knits ! I was on my way to A Grand Yarn, my LYS, so I slipped my copy into my knitting bag to show it off at the shop. And guess what, it was a hit! Several of my buddies were...

I'm working on my Knit-a-Long , the Central Park Hoodie , and even though I'm behind my own schedule (!), I'm making fast progress now that I can devote more hours to this project. The Central Park Hoodie is actually a really quick project, for several reasons: the gauge is a generous 4.25...

I was flipping through our new special issue Interweave Knits: Weekend , and thinking about how much I usually look forward to knitting on the weekend; "usually" is the key word here, because I've got a project that I'm ready to be finished with. It's a complicated cabled scarf...

A note from Kathleen: When I worked at my LYS, we'd get a heavy box four times a year and the return address was Interweave Press. We'd rip that box open practically before the UPS guy could hand it over; we knew what was in it--the new issue of Interweave Knits ! Here I am an Interweave employee...
