Each time a new issue of Interweave Knits is released, I start seeing a lot of buzz online about the Galleries, our photo collections of Interweave staffers wearing the sample sweaters from the magazines to show the sweaters on different body types and sizes. Knitters speculate which sweaters will be...

Colorwork patterns--such as the gorgeous Poetry Mittens we put into the online store on Wednesday (see below)--are some of the most beautiful knitting on the planet.

Note from Sandi: In the U.S., it is National Spinning and Weaving Week (October 4-10). Since every one of the lovely yarns we use is made by a spinner (somewhere...), I asked spinner and weaver Liz Gipson (yes, she of the cashmere goats!) to come back and talk to us about how to substitute a yarn you...

Sometimes it helps to have a visual, so today we have a little special treat: a clip from Knitting Daily TV showing Kim Werker demonstrating measuring techniques.

Note from Sandi: I’ve made it to Canada, my new home sweet home! Now before I learn about all things ice hockey, I need to unpack my fiber stash. Each skein, each fleece had its own space, and I’m up for the task of creating my new studio. While I’m disconnected to the internet for...

As you are reading this on Friday, I am winging my way to Ohio, where I'm attending TNNA, the industry's big needlework conference. This is my first TNNA, and so I don't quite know what to expect. I do know that it's an industry-only conference (not open to the public, sorrreee), so there...
