I just finished a colorwork hat for the Winter issue of Interweave Knits. I live in the South, in a 100-year-old mill house, and I haven't turned on the AC yet...but that alpaca, three-color hat on my lap was a bit much for June knitting. For the last few hours of work, I sat in my favorite blue...

Back in December 2012, I showed you the handmade socks for Dad’s Christmas gift … well, the promise of socks. I’m embarrassed to say that those remain in the promise phase. In the meantime, though, I did manage to knit socks for my boyfriend (previously unmentioned here to keep them...

It’s strange to introduce yourself to a large, anonymous crowd of people. I don’t even really know how to do so. It’s a lot easier to stand in a room of knitters and hold up a sweater and say, “I knit this!”. So maybe I should try to start that way. My name is Lisa and this...

Every year when graduation time rolls around I can't believe these little babies I've known since day one are graduating from high school (or college!). When I graduated, I got lots of checks, which was great, but I also got a handknitted blanket. I still have that blanket, and every time I see...
