Opulent Raglan by Wendy Bernard I'm in the mood for a top-down raglan project, like the Opulent Raglan by Wendy Bernard . Seamless and worked top-down, this tunic is a quick knit in worsted-weight yarn. I love Wendy's designs. I've made two of them (at right), and I have the Opulent Raglan...

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...

Last time, I showed a photo of the beginnings of my Tattoo Tank from Knitscene Winter/Spring 2010 . I also gave instructions for how to choose the right size for this little summer top , only to find out that I myself had gone and cast on for a little summer top big enough to fit Godzilla. Hmm. You know...

The cute little Bolero from Interweave's book Feminine Knits is indeed done. I bound it off Wednesday morning, and then made some coffee, turned on an audiobook, and sat down to be a good girl and weave in all the (double-digit) ends. (It took two cups of coffee. There were a LOT of ends!) Closures...

Yarn "butterfly," waiting to be a cardigan. The photo at left is a butterfly of beautiful yarn I got at the Blue Moon Fiber Arts booth at Sock Summit last fall. The worsted yarn is called Twisted and the fingering is the venerable Socks the Rock, both in the Valkyrie colorway: lovely purples...

Just a little scene-setting photo—knit on! I was reading through the forums and the Knitting Daily blog post comments, and I was impressed by the wealth of knitting expertise out there! I thought I'd pull some of them and put them all here for you to enjoy. This is a potpourri of knitting tips...

Three sweaters from The Handy Book of Sweater Patterns by Ann Budd Those of you who read Knitting Daily regularly know that I love a good tip. I've got several books that are filled with tips, but the one that I go to most when knitting sweaters is Ann Budd's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns ....

I've finished the sleeves on my Farmer's Market Cardigan . (Hooray!) That means I'm ready to sew them into the body of the cardigan, a job that some knitters detest. C'mon, admit it–how many of you knit only top-down raglans so you won't have to sew in a sleeve? And how many...

We're baaaack! You asked us to bring back the galleries, and we did. This time, I photographed four of the sweaters from the Spring 2010 Interweave Knits on various members of my knitting group: Dinah, Patty, Kathy, Terry, Marsha, Deborah, and Audrey. I hosted a party for the event—we all needed...

I knit Henry (my nephew) the H Sweater when he was about two and a half, and at four years old he's ready for a new one! This sweater is my own conglomeration of elements from several kids' sweater patterns. The original was knit out of a cotton rope-type yarn, and I think it was a bit too stiff—see...

Yes, that's a llama. Her name is High Hope, and she likes humans. (I think she thinks we're funny looking.) She and her sisters kindly appear on my blog this week in order to amuse and distract you from the fact that no actual sweater was photographed in the creation of this blog. My camera battery...

Dear Interweave Knits , I love you. I hate you. I both hate and love you at the same time. My faithful and clever readers have just spent several weeks carefully choosing a sweater pattern for me to knit, and a color for me to knit the pattern in, and here you go, publishing the new Winter 2009 IK with...

The cardigan sweater is a classic for all seasons. You can throw it on over a T-shirt in the fall and spring, keep a light-weight cardigan on hand for chilly summer evenings, and wear one as a top in the winter. I have several cardigans in my closet and I wear them all year. There are so many ways to...

The leaves aren't just falling outside, they're dumping themselves in huge thick carpets on my lawn. I've started wearing a coat when I walk the dog, scuffing my waterproof boots through the rivers of leaves on the sidewalks. Autumn has arrived here in southern Ontario. I've started mentally...
