I'll admit it. I'm a sci-fi geek. I love all things sci-fi; I'm even a member of the group Nerdy Knitter's on Ravelry! I prefer space ships and time travel over dragons and fairies, though. I'm pretty sure I've seen every episode of all five of the Start Trek series, including...

Here are my favorites from this year: Finish-Free Knits by Kristen TenDyke (Shown: Warmth Top) Sotherton Pullover by Kathleen Dames Northern Knits Gifts by Lucinda Guy (Shown: Mootie Fair Isle Socks...

Knitting needles are our number one tool (although we could get into a chicken or egg conversation wondering if yarn is our number-one tool . . .). I'm lucky enough to have four pairs of circular Signature needles, which I've collected over the past couple of years. I buy them at trade shows...

Ah, the holidays. That time of year when knitting needles everywhere are clack-clack-clacking away while harried knitters frantically work on last minute knitted gifts—or planned-well-ahead gifts that somehow got away from us. This is the first year that Knitscene has published five issues. Five...

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...

Last week I randomly discovered that you could buy the Knitscene Winter 2007/Spring 2008 issue on Amazon from a reseller. For FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. I'm guessing that's wishful thinking, or some other strange thing, but... whoa! We have tons of amazing patterns in our back issues, but not all...

I love a good shortcut, whether it's cutting through an alley to avoid traffic or weaving in ends as I knit so I don't have to do it at the end of the project. Here are a few of my favorites, all of them things I learned from Knitting Daily TV ! Weave in Yarns as You Go Place the needle in the...

Zooey Pullover by Maria Leigh A note from Kathleen: It's supposed to snow tonight in Spokane. Although I know snow is full of inconveniences to everyday living, I can't wait to sit on the couch with my knitting and watch the sparkly stuff come down. We think of fall as the beginning of knitting...

Double knitting is the process of creating two layers of fabric at the same time, on one set of needles. These layers make cozy glasses cases, hot pads, gadget covers, and slippers, to name just a few uses. The Double-Knitted Flap Bag by Annie Modesitt What's under the flap? A bunch of useful pockets...

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to attend the Interweave Knitting Lab in San Mateo, CA. It was so much fun, meeting people and learning new things. I attended three workshops: Basic Brioche, Two-Color Brioche (both with Nancy Marchant), and Roositude Inlay (with Nancy Bush). Here's what I made...

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 . . .?"...
