Darling fabric-covered snaps! I'm almost done with the second sleeve of a cardigan, and I have snaps in mind for the closure. Wouldn't you know it, the Spring 2012 issue of knit.wear magazine featured an inspiring article about covering snaps with fabric before sewing them on. It's such a...

Vaudeville Shawl by Grace Akhrem Amodda Socks by Rachel Coopey As knitters, we know that accessories are the icing on the cake. We might enjoy knitting sweaters in the cooler months of the year, but most of us have little goodies on our needles all year round. I know I do! In fact, I just finished a...

There's no place like New York City. At least that's what I hear; I've never been! I've got a trip planned for this fall, though, so I'll finally get to see all of the amazing locations in the Big Apple. My friends who've traveled there have recommended all sorts of activities...

Kathleen's top-down seamless cardigan, in progress! Seamless knitting and I have a love/less-love relationship.

The Wavelength Tunic by Hilary Smith Callis It's hard to believe, especially when Interweave's offices in Loveland were closed on Monday because of a blizzard, but summer is coming. We have a 70-degree day coming up in Spokane, and my spring cleaning (I'm talking to you, garage!) is almost...

When I first started knitting garments, I did a lot of knitting for children. I learned complex knitting techniques, stitch patterns, and garment construction from knitting sweaters on a small scale. And the resulting product was so darling! What fun. Dax's Jacket by Katie Himmelberg Whirligig Shrug...

I'm eco-conscious, and I'll bet you are too. I recycle, reuse, and reduce wherever I can. But did you ever think about the environment in regards to your knitting? The yarn you choose can make a difference ecologically, and I recently learned a lot about the fiber tencel from a segment on Knitting...

Wrap Blouse from Light & Layered Knits Sport Zip Jacket from Light & Layered Knits When I was in college, a friend showed up to a late-spring baseball game wearing a long-sleeve tee-shirt under a short-sleeve tee shirt. This was 25 years ago, so layering wasn't as common as it is now! It...

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...

Vintage is a word that pops up a lot nowadays. It's all over the place in fabric, fashion, and home decor. I like bits and pieces of vintage design, especially when it's updated to reflect modern sensibilities. 1940s Fair Isle Sweater Our new book, Vintage Design Workshop is perfect for knitters...

A note from Kathleen: The Central Park Hoodie is the highest-selling sweater knitting pattern in the Knitting Daily Shop, and for good reason. I knit it as part of the first ever Knitting Daily Knit-Along, and so have thousands of others—yes, thousands; 4638 on Ravelry alone! That's soon to...

Paperboy Cardigan by Debbie O'Neill It's funny, when I look through sweater knitting patterns, I'm drawn over and over to the same designers. Debbie O'Neill is one of those designers. Her Paperboy Cardigan, shown at right, has been in my queue for a couple of years now, and I've knit...

Last week I randomly discovered that you could buy the Knitscene Winter 2007/Spring 2008 issue on Amazon from a reseller. For FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. I'm guessing that's wishful thinking, or some other strange thing, but... whoa! We have tons of amazing patterns in our back issues, but not all...
