I think of knitted accessories as the precious gems in a knitter's jewel box. They're the cabled hats knit out of a smooth 100% merino wool, the cowl knit from luscious cashmere, the clutch adorned with sparkly beads, the lace shawl knit with delicate, alpaca lace yarn. What fun! What adventure...

Our new book, Scottish Knits , is so gorgeous that nothing I write can do it justice.

There are some things that just feel like winter. Making Crock Pot dinners, for example, or Kahlua and coffee. In knitting, it's alpaca yarn, Aran Sweaters, and felted items such as bags and slippers. Felted Daypack by Joy Doss Felted Knitted Slippers by Marcy Petrini I love felting. It's so...

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...

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...

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...

The Overshot Mittens by Carol J. Sulcoski I know, I know, holiday knitting during the summer sounds ridiculous, but I'm sure some of you smart knitters have already started! If you have, you're ahead of me, that's for sure. Last year I decided that I wasn't going to knit gifts for people;...

It seems like cowls are everywhere today, in stores and on the needles. I can see why they're popular—they're useful, quick to knit, and they're often one-skein wonders. A knitting trifecta if I've ever seen one. Knitted cowls can be real stash-buster patterns, too. One of my friends...
