The Ladybug Headband from A Step-By-Step Guide to Knitting Cables with 4 Staff Favorite Patterns I recently finished a headband similar to the Ladybug Headband by Katy Ryan. I discovered that works really well as an ear warmer, too. It's great for people who don't look good in hats (ahem), or...

Most of us began our knitting careers with scarves. One of my first "real" projects was a simple garter stitch scarf, which I gave to a friend. She still wears it, almost ten years later. I cringe a tiny bit when I see her in it, but the rest of me is honored that she's loved it all these...

On a recent outing to my local yarn shop, I tried on a lovely pair of mittens. They were so cute, knitted in stranded colorwork (I thought) with little white stitches dotting the dark blue background. Very simple. Then I put my hand in one of the mittens, looked up, and said "What the . . .?"...

Work in progress to finished object! When Eunny Jang knitted the Cochin Shrug for EntreKnits , she had several extra balls of yarn left over. It’s a lovely yarn, Rowan Felted Tweed, and as I looked at the sizing I realized I could make myself a shrug out of the remaining 5 balls. I could finish...

I was fortunate enough to take Annie Modesitt's double knitting class at last year's Interweave Knitting Lab. Annie is a unique knitter, as she says, "My brain works differently than other knitter's brains and I'm stubborn, which are mixed blessings." I think these things make...
