ou know, it's really fun to give yarn money to knitters. You are all so excited about the possibility of winning, and when the winners finally are announced, you are so delightful and celebrate right along with them. I get the feeling that if we were able to arrange a Knitting Daily field trip to...

Many of you have been writing in, anxiously asking when the results for the Knitting Daily Yarn Spree Giveaway would be announced. We said the winners would be notified in mid-January, and I believe that today, January 14th, is "mid" enough for me. So, we ran our little random number generator...

Could this be the ultimate guy sweater? I just never know what I am going to get when I post a survey here on Knitting Daily . It's always a little scary—will anyone answer? Will people think the questions are dumb? Will I end up having to make up the results because I only got six responses...

At the end of one of last year's posts, I added one of my favorite sayings: "Be a fearless knitter." That one little sentence prompted many of you to write in about the ways in which Knitting Daily had given you the courage to try new things, to try scary things, or even just to rip the...

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the land Every knitter was knitting, quite fast, with both hands. New socks off the needles hung chimney-side there, In hopes that they'd dry—just soon enough to wear. The kitties snuggled purring in warm woolly afghans, That square by square...

Ann Budd's Broken Cable Rib Socks I don't have any magic words to help you get all your holiday knitting done on time. (Sorry about that.) However, I do have a nifty little grafting tip for those of you, who like me, completely and utterly despise the Kitchener Stitch. Up until a few years ago...

I have already received, and am already wearing, the best holiday present I can imagine: A pair of cabled socks knitted for me by my husband Nicholas. Happy feet! I'd like to point out that Sir Nicholas has only been knitting for a couple of years: His very first knitting project ever was a pair...

Getting to know you... Hi there...Sandi here again! There were quite a few questions regarding schematics and measuring, so I thought we’d take a little stroll into Measurement Land today.
