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...

As spring and summer arrive, color is all around me. It's popping up in my garden, my wardrobe, and my knitting bag. I recently went through my stash and pulled out some lovely salmon for a summer tee. I've knit three summer tops, and I wear them a lot. It's so great to be able to wear your...

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...

My Bohus-style sweater, waiting to be steeked When I cleaned out my knitting bags(!) a week or so ago I found a sweater that needs to be steeked. It's a Bohus cardigan that's so close to being done—it just needs the aforementioned steek and then the buttonbands picked up and knitted. I've...

Spring officially arrived last week, and here we are talking about summertime knitting! Our second Knitscene Summer issue debuted today, and if you ask me, it's a scorcher! Thank you, I'll be here all week. Terrible jokes aside, my own tastes gravitate more toward knitting projects that would...

Lily Chin's Textured Tote Bag I've been infatuated with many a knitted bag, but I think I may have finally found my true soul mate: the Textured Tote Bag, from Lily Chin's book Power Cables. Lily's bag hits the mark for me in several ways. It's large enough to carry my knitting project...

Since I didn't take a photo, I borrowed one from our friend TECHknitter , who calls this phenomenon "a terrifying mess." I agree! (Photo copyright TECHknitter) I've been working on my knit-along project (the Seaweed Cardigan), and last week I had a disaster of epic proportions: My needle...

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...

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...

The Vacation Scarf I spent last week camping in paradise, a.k.a. Yellowstone National Park. I went with a friend and we had so much fun seeing wildlife (bears, wolves, coyotes, moose, elk, pronghorn, and lots of bison!). I brought along some knitting—a baby vest, a tee-shirt, and some random yarn...
