There's a chill in the air that says fall is here, and with it comes the urge to knit a jacket! The Chingoteague Jacket by Lisa Jacobs, originally featured in Interweave Knits , is a wonderful design for a knitted jacket, one that will never go out of style. It's knit from two strands of wool...

Lace borders might seem really old-fashioned, but to me they're absolutely beautiful and a wonderful use of a knitter's time and effort. The drawing at right, Vandyke Border, was taken from Weldon's Practical Knitter, How to Knit Useful Articles for Ladies, Gentlemen & Children . In an...

A bouquet of silk yarns Silk is my favorite fiber. It's so gloriously soft, smooth, and shiny. Not to mention that it has beautiful drape and is deceptively strong. Way back in 1999, Interweave Knits did an article on silk, and it's as relevant today as it was then (it was only thirteen years...

My Bohus-style sweater, waiting to be steeked When I cleaned out my knitting bags(!) a week or so ago I found a sweater that needs to be steeked. It's a Bohus cardigan that's so close to being done—it just needs the aforementioned steek and then the buttonbands picked up and knitted. I've...

The Overshot Mittens by Carol J. Sulcoski I know, I know, holiday knitting during the summer sounds ridiculous, but I'm sure some of you smart knitters have already started! If you have, you're ahead of me, that's for sure. Last year I decided that I wasn't going to knit gifts for people;...

And there are lots of variations for each technique, too! The heel flap is one of the parts of a knitted sock that has A...

Top-down sweaters are all the rage, and for good reason: many of them are knit in the round, so no purling, and there's relatively no finishing except weaving in ends. Ann Budd has jumped on the bandwagon with her new book The Knitter's Handy Book of Top-Down Sweaters , which is written in the...

One of the easiest but underused knitting techniques is short-rows. They seem so daunting; some of my knitting friends see "Short-rows used for shaping" in the instructions for a knitting pattern and they say "Forget it!" I use short rows all the time, usually to add rows at the bust...

Yep, it's time for a new knit-along! Are you ready to vote for your favorite? Here are the choices: The Orbs Cowl by Robin Ulrich is hot off the presses in the new issue of Knitscene Accessories . I love the drape of this cowl, and bonus—it's reversible! This is a quick knit with a lot...

As projects come into the Knitscene office, there's a whole lot of "oohing" and "aahing" over the samples. There's a bevy of comments along the lines of "wow that color is perfect!" or "this yarn is sooooo soft!" and more than few "gee, I want one...

In fact, Dinah loved it so much...
