It seems like cowls are everywhere today, in stores and on the needles. I can see why they're popular—they're useful, quick to knit, and they're often one-skein wonders. A knitting trifecta if I've ever seen one. Knitted cowls can be real stash-buster patterns, too. One of my friends...

The Summer 2011 issue of Knitscene featured an article by one of my favorite designers, Stephen West. I just bought his Spectra Scarf pattern, which is a circular scarf knit from a ball of self-striping sock yarn and a coordinating solid sock yarn.

I just started a new hat for a Christmas present for my brother—I'm living proof that it's not too late to start knitting for the holidays! I have three more projects that I need to make, too, another hat (R2D2 hat for my nephew) and a scarf for my sister-in-law. Oh, and that hat for my...

Mary Jane Mucklestone dressed up her simple Sweet Tee with a little flowery flair at the yoke. This tee is a perfect easy knitting pattern for spring-summer. Hannah Fettig's Whisper Cardigan was an instant classic almost the moment it was published. It's knit with lace-weight yarn on size 7 US...

"Seriously?!? I think I can hold it until the temp gets above zero, Mom!" What is with this winter storm marching across America? It's so cold here we have to leave a faucet dripping so our pipes don't freeze! Don't get me wrong, I love any excuse to wrap up in my knitted scarves...

I am NOT one of those people who looks great in hats, especially the beanie-type hat. I wear those hats in the winter when I have too, but I much prefer the beret style hat or the slouch hat. It was in the 30s this weekend in Spokane—it's getting hard to remember those 95-degree days when all...

There are so many beautiful variegated and self-striping yarns out there. They're perfect for adding some pizzazz to your stockinette projects, but have you thought about doing some colorwork with these yarns? The term "faux isle" is a funny play on words, but it's also a neat technique...
