Every year when graduation time rolls around I can't believe these little babies I've known since day one are graduating from high school (or college!). When I graduated, I got lots of checks, which was great, but I also got a handknitted blanket. I still have that blanket, and every time I see...

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'm a handbag collector. I come by it honestly because my gramma and my mom paved the way for me (and my sister!). Just last week my mom and sister came over and we spread out all of our handbags on my dining room table and held The Big Seasonal Handbag Trade. I honestly don't remember which...

Molly's fabulous motif scarf I've just gotten a new book, 150 Knit & Crochet Motifs by Heather Lodinsky (the designer of the Central Park Hoodie!), which is really getting my creative juices flowing. Motifs have always intrigued me, and I've knitted and crocheted many of them, but I rarely...

The venerable Elizabeth Zimmermann rediscovered and named the I-cord (the I-cord, called a "stay lace," was mentioned in Victorian needlework manuals). The "I" stands for "idiot" because Ms. Zimmermann thought the technique was so simple anyone could do it (even an idiot...

Lots of us want to fill our project baskets with easy knit patterns, especially in the summertime. Occasionally, though, easy knitted patterns can sacrifice style: there's sometimes a lot of room between "easy" and "attractive." Not so in this new, free Ebook, Easy Knits From...

ou know, it's really fun to give yarn money to knitters. You are all so excited about the possibility of winning, and when the winners finally are announced, you are so delightful and celebrate right along with them. I get the feeling that if we were able to arrange a Knitting Daily field trip to...

Alternating Twists from Cables & Arans I am a stitch geek. I'm fascinated by the different ways that the humble knit stitch and the unassuming purl stitch get together and make a gadzillion different glorious combinations. My stitch dictionaries are stained with the love born of long and constant...

The INSIDE of the Ms. Poppins' Bag Knitted stitches have a lovely drape, which is one reason we love them so! That drape is created by having lots of small holes between the yarn fibers—in general, the bigger the holes, the more drape something has. Think of the difference in drape between a felted...

Knitting Needle Knitting Bag The comments from Monday's post on knitting bags were a hoot! I feel so much better knowing that I am not alone in my knitting bag addiction. Bagaholics, bag ladies, and bag pigs (thank you, Merna S.!), unite! And what can we bag geeks say to Ms. Eliza, our friend who...

Too cute! The Knitting Needle Knitting Bag I'm beginning to think that I have a Serious Knitting Bag Habit, as I am getting dangerously close to having a different knitting bag for each UnFinished Object. This would not be a "Serious Knitting Bag Habit" if I only had one UFO (and thus only...

Weekend Getaway Satchel My husband Nicholas is the perfect knitter’s husband: adorable, patient, and tolerates both long afternoons spent in yarn shops and large piles of yarn in the linen closet with equal parts humor and grace. However, he was mystified by the entire concept of me knitting a...

I admire knitted, felted goodies…mostly from afar. I love to examine them, and stroke them, but as much as I love all these beautiful creations, I have been dubious about the idea of making felted objects for myself. Floral Felted Bag For example: Everyone seems to love felted handbags , and I...
