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...

I've been a really lame sock knitter in the last few months. There are two socks on the needles, from two different sock knitting patterns , and I didn't really have any plans to pick either of those socks up in the near future. Provenance Socks by Heatherly Walker: Colorful scrolling patterns...

Basilica, from Free-Spirit Shawls Vogue Knitting Live was held in Seattle a couple of weeks ago and I was lucky enough to go. I got a triangular shawl kit, which is something I don't usually knit. There's no real reason I don't knit triangular shawls, it's just that I've always been...

Kathleen's finished Minimalist Cardigan I knit the Minimalist Cardigan by Ruthie Nussbaum in the spring and summer of 2010. I wore it a few times, and then spilled some coffee on it. I put it in the washing machine on hand wash with cold water, I thought, and when I pulled it out, it was well and...

We all started off as beginning knitters. We learned about knitting needles , yarn, how to cast on, knit garter stitch, and bind off. Somehow, we've progressed to knitting hats, scarves, mittens, and even sweaters! Along the way we learned all sorts of things: how to increase, decrease, work cables...

I think I've knit four cowls this winter. One was a slip-stitch pattern, one a lace pattern, one a linen-stitch pattern, and one a plain stockinette pattern. Oddly, I think the stockinette cowl is my favorite. Probably because it's knit from a 100-percent cashmere yarn that I got for Christmas...

It's that time again . . . a new knit-along! We haven't had a knit-along here on Knitting Daily in awhile, so I thought we could choose a warm-weather knitting project this time. Oh, and if you want to see more details about each project (sizes, yarn, needles, gauge, etc.), just click on the...

I can spend hours looking through stitch dictionaries. There seem to be hundreds of designs you can make with just two knitting stitches: knits and purls. These 1940s sweaters rely on wonderful stitch patterns to elevate fairly straightforward designs. Stitch patterns have been used in sweater design...

A couple of weeks ago I introduced the book Knits of Tomorrow by Sue Culligan, which is one of my favorite new books. It's full of projects that evoke tech from the "olden-days" and space-themed knits of the future. I love it! There's something for everyone in Knits of Tomorrow , whether...
