I live in a mid-century home, and I've tried to furnish it with pieces actually manufactured during the 40s, 50s, and 60s. We have a wonderful mid-century modern furniture store that's run on consignment, so the prices are fabulous. Cabled Footstool from Knits at Home Bolster Pillow from Knits...

Browsing through magazines is one of life's greatest pleasures (at least it is for me!). And there are so many great digital resources these days, the browsing opportunities are endless. I was recently looking at digital back issues of Interweave Knits and I came across some fabulous knitted gloves...

There are so many beautiful variegated and self-striping yarns out there. They're perfect for adding some pizzazz to your stockinette projects, but have you thought about doing some colorwork with these yarns? The term "faux isle" is a funny play on words, but it's also a neat technique...
