A couple weeks ago I finished a top-down raglan tee-shirt and I've already worn it twice. Because I could try it on as I knit, I was able to make it the perfect tunic length for my short stature. That's the beauty of the top-down knitting technique —you can really see how your piece is...

Something (hopefully autumn) is coming. Maybe it's the slight chill to the mornings that greets me when I walk out my front door; maybe it's the sinus pressure–inducing shift in the barometric pressure. But I know that sooner or later, summer will transition into autumn and I'll need...

One of my knit-night buddies worked it up and it's...

How cute is this? When I started knitting, lots of my friends were having babies and I knit a lot of baby sweaters. Tiny sweaters out of lots of different yarns using lots of different patterns. It was so much fun knitting for babies and learning new skills while creating these darling little garments...

My super stripey tee shirt (made up pattern myself, used Filatura di Crosa Brilla yarn) Remember Kermit the Frog singing "The Rainbow Connection"? That song meant a lot to my 12-year-old self. I just loved the thought of the right people finding each other: "the lovers, the dreamers, and...

Don't Box Me In A lovely not-box: Kathy Zimmerman's Dovetail Pullover Sorry. I couldn't resist that... Many folks avoid wearing garments with any kind of body shaping, preferring to wear boxy silhouettes, as they think that boxes hide areas they would rather not show off: a generous belly...
