Yes, it's that time again: Time for the Knitting Daily Galleries! Each time a new issue of Interweave Knits comes out, a group of us in the Interweave offices gather to try on some of the wonderful garments from the magazine, and we take photos to help you see how the sweaters look on different women...

One day not too long ago, I walked into a conference room at Interweave only to see that it was filled with kimonos--a dozen or more gloriously knitted garments, all with graceful sleeves, flowing lines, and elegant styling. I'd never seen a knitted kimono before, not up close, and so I spent a happy...

At first when I thought about this post, I was going to write about my process for doing those little fit-and-flatter commentaries for the Galleries. I was going to talk about how I sit and read through every single pattern with the sample sweater in my lap, studying how the garment is constructed, where...

Note from Sandi: I've heard that a lot of people have fallen in love with Pam Allen's Fresco Fair Isle Mitts (see the photo? Pretty!) in the new Fall issue of Knits . I think it's the soft colors waving across the back of the hand, with the one unexpected splash of brightness in the middle...

The First Step: Choosing The Right Pattern Size For busty gals who want to use darts to help things fit better, here's a little trick: If you want a snug(gish)-fitting sweater, you can use your high-bust measurement, instead of your full bust measurement, to choose which pattern size to make.

For those of you who don't know, every time a new issue of Interweave...

You'd think a hem would be simple, and that there would be only one way to do it, but nope. There are so many different methods to choose from. Note that...
