Basilica, from Free-Spirit Shawls Vogue Knitting Live was held in Seattle a couple of weeks ago and I was lucky enough to go. I got a triangular shawl kit, which is something I don't usually knit. There's no real reason I don't knit triangular shawls, it's just that I've always been...

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...

A beautiful collection of summery stuff. Ah, summer. It's really here now, with the heat, the shorts and tank tops, the Popsicles, and the summer knitting. Ribbed Halter Wedding Top I knit all year-round, but in the summer, I change my knitting habits drastically. I dive into my stash for silks,...

As in, "the best things come in little packages." Knit gloves , mitts, bags, and even a bookmark are all little lovelies that make a big impact. I've chosen four knitted accessories, all from Jane Austen Knits , that are perfect for summer knitting and gifting. Take a look: Miss Bingley's...

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...

I've just come home from the Sock Summit in Portland (my review will be on Knitting Daily next Wednesday!), and although socks took center stage, the crowd was a sea of knitted lace shawls, scarves, and tee shirts. I didn't have a shawl, but I sure wished I did! One of the gals sitting next to...

A designer for Feza Yarns, she takes novelty yarns to the extreme with classy, fun patterns beyond the scarf. We caught up with KT to see what she's been knitting lately. She shares her recent...

It was in the mid-70s here in Spokane last weekend and I've got summer fever! I spent about 10 hours in the garden, pruning roses, weeding, and spreading mulch. It was heaven! I also spent a couple of hours at my LYS, browsing the new summer yarns and patterns. Even though I have enough yarn to last...

I recently took a day-trip and the project I took with me was a tank top. I worked on it in the car, but it really took up too much room in my bag and in my lap and I was wishing for a small, purse-friendly project. I can hear you all saying "How about a sock?" I know, I know--socks are the...

A note from Sandi: This week, we have two new knitting goodies to celebrate: the book Inspired to Knit by Michele Rose Orne , and the new Fall 2008 issue of Knitscene magazine. I thought it might be interesting to ask three Knitscene designers what had inspired them to design and knit their pieces for...
