I always took the thumb gusset for granted. (If you're new to gussets, they're triangular-shaped areas of "extra" fabric that provide space in certain areas of a garment to allow freedom of movement.) Every pair of gloves, mittens, or fingerless mitts that I've knitted has had thumb...

Noémie fingerless mitts Tutu Slippers Gabrielle fingerless gloves The wind is blowing all of my maple tree leaves into the yard. The sun is out, though, so that makes it better, and I'm trying to think of raking as an exercise activity! Positive thinking is hard sometimes. My hands and feet...

I'm not one to always follow the rules. Laws, yes, but rules, no. So, I wear a lot of white before Memorial Day and after Labor Day. I'm not a society gal, so who cares? And I love my winter white down jacket more than any other jacket; I think I'd wear it even if I were a strict rule-follower...

"Vintage" is used all over the place these days. Maybe our busy, tech-filled lives make us long for the simplicity of the past. Although our foremothers had many different challenges than we did—can you imaging knitting by candlelight after being on your feet all day cooking from scratch...

Hello Knitting Daily readers! There are so many ways to stay connected to the world: smart phones, laptops, tablets, to mention a few. I have a Blackberry and an iTouch, and I always carry them with me. I get twitchy if I forget them; I was in the car the other day and realized I didn't have my phone...

See that hat in the photo at left? This hat is mocking me. (See how it drops down low over my eyes and makes me look like I am five? It mocks me.) It's Connie Chang Chinchio's Blume Hat from Knitscene Fall 2010 , and trust me, Connie has nothing to do with what is going on between that hat and...

I’ve never knitted a pair of gloves, if you can believe that. Mittens, fingerless gloves, and wrist warmers are all in my repertoire, but no gloves! The thought of knitting all of those fingers has always steered me away from glove projects. I usually get about four pairs of those tiny knit gloves...
