I was amazed to see how many folks wrote in to say that they, too, were "pattern fiddlers" –folks like me who use knitting patterns as a creative jumping-off place for making their own unique garment. I love this about knitters, I really do. There's a whack of energy being put into...

A note from Kathleen: One of the things I like most about knitting is sharing the experience with others—those who came before us and, hopefully, those who will follow! Our new special publication, Knitting Traditions , offers projects and inspiration that links all of us present-day knitters to...

Remember my list of knitting resolutions ? Number 1 was to learn the Old Norwegian Cast-On. Well I did, and I want you to learn it, too. I also learned some really cool tips for "tail management" when casting on, so keep reading to the bottom of the blog! Back to the Norwegian: This cast-on...

A note from Kathleen: It's been quite a decade for us here at Interweave. Our editorial director, Marilyn Murphy, recently took a stroll through our pattern collection and she's chosen one design for each year that she thinks represents that year in Interweave designs.

A note from Kathleen: After hearing so many stories of the fun everyone had at this year's SOAR (Spin-Off Autumn Retreat), I looked at my Winter 2009 issue of Spin-Off with renewed interest. Spin-Off always provides lots of interesting items for knitters, but I actually read through some of the spinning...

A note from Kathleen: Raise your hand if you've bound off too tightly, bound off on the wrong side, or bound off too loosely. My hand is WAY up; how 'bout yours? I was recently looking through my back issues of Interweave Knits (which I can now do right from my computer with the compilation CDs...

One UFO Down: 17 Left To Go I've had a pair of socks sitting in my knitting basket for, oh, I think it's been over a year now. Way back when, I wanted to make a pair of socks to be for Nicholas, so I opened up the bin containing my sock yarn stash and told him to Pick Something. He chose a lovely...

I haven't had much experience writing patterns, but I had a ball of Schoppel-Wolle Zauberball Crazy Sock Yarn that I was itching to knit into a pair of socks, and I couldn't settle on a pattern. So I decided to write one myself! The yarn lent itself better to a plain or cable pattern than to...
