Vertex Cardigan by Carol Feller Inlaid Lace Mitts by Rebecca Blair I know it doesn't seem like it, but spring is on the horizon. It's March (!), and that means spring bulbs are going to start peeking out of flower beds and warm-weather knitting patterns are going to appear in stores and online...

There's something magical about felting your knitting. The first felted project I made was a pair of slippers. It was absolutely amazing to knit a Shaquille O'Neal-sized pair of slippers, throw them in a hot wash, and pull out a pair of Mom-sized slippers. They were beautiful, and my mom still...

When I first learned to knit I was a "thrower" (or English-style knitter)—I held the yarn in my right hand and wrapped it (or threw it) around the right-hand needle. Most of my friends were "pickers" (or Continental-style knitters)—they held the yarn in their left hands...

I am NOT one of those people who looks great in hats, especially the beanie-type hat. I wear those hats in the winter when I have too, but I much prefer the beret style hat or the slouch hat. It was in the 30s this weekend in Spokane—it's getting hard to remember those 95-degree days when all...

A note from Kathleen: I think I can safely say that we all love a small project once in a while—something we can get done in a short time with a small amount of yarn. What comes to mind is a hat or a one-skein scarf, a dishcloth or a coffee cozy. But PieceWork magazine has taken the small project...

I'm taking several summer trips in the near future, and of course, like any knitter, I'm planning what projects to take with me. It may sound daft, but my favorite airplane knitting is lace knitting. Really! I make sure I have a paper copy of the chart in a nice plastic sleeve, and I pin or clip...

Note from Sandi: There's more than one way to work a sock, as many long-time sock knitters will tell you. Most of us learn to make them by starting at the cuff--but if you find that this method isn't making you happy, then perhaps you could try knitting socks from the toe up. Here to explain...
