Té Rosada by Pam Allen There are lots of projects that say "quick-to-knit" in the descriptions, and there are lots of reasons that's probably true. Quick knits can be small projects such as hats, mittens, or cowls. Some people might say scarves are quick projects, but my scarves...

My favorite scarf! Cashmere goodness in a beautiful color. Lots of knitters stop knitting scarves after they become intermediate knitters—as beginners, we're encouraged to knit scarves to get comfortable with the knit stitch, and we end up with a lot of garter-stitch scarves in our scarf drawer...

Note from Sandi: The response to last week's tip was wonderful, thank you! So I thought for this week's post, since I am stressing about working on two important end-of-the-month deadlines, I'd repeat a tip that people are still requesting links to a year later. This was originally posted...

Yes, my knitting is laughing at me. The Star Light, Star Bright Baby Blanket ? It is just a little ol' baby blankie, for heaven's sake. I have finished the inner rectangle; all I have to do now (she says blithely) is pick up stitches around the edges, knit a few rounds of garter stitch, knit...

The cute little Bolero from Interweave's book Feminine Knits is indeed done. I bound it off Wednesday morning, and then made some coffee, turned on an audiobook, and sat down to be a good girl and weave in all the (double-digit) ends. (It took two cups of coffee. There were a LOT of ends!) Closures...

We've had such a great time knitting the Minimalist Cardigan by Ruthie Nussbaum. I continue to be amazed both at the wealth of knowledge you all possess and at your willingness to share it! You are such a great bunch of knitters and friends; during this knit-along (KAL) we talked about all kinds...

I'm starting to wonder about myself. I have started three projects overall for this here little blog, and none of them are done yet. What. Is. My. Problem? Let's recap, shall we? (Yes, we shall.) First, there was the Bolero, from Feminine Knits . (The first blog post about it is here .) That...

I joined both the Knitting Olympics and the Ravelympics this year. I set my Olympic goals: To finish the Farmer's Market Cardigan . To knit a sock. To spin some luscious fibre. I made a schedule. I organized each knitting project in a pretty box. At the opening ceremonies, I jumped in with both needles...

A note from Kathleen: It's been quite a decade for us here at Interweave. Our editorial director, Marilyn Murphy, recently took a stroll through our pattern collection and she's chosen one design for each year that she thinks represents that year in Interweave designs. Marilyn has been at Interweave...

Last time , we left our intrepid knitting heroine (that would be me) discovering (after knitting roughly 3800 stitches, of course) that she had unwittingly added extra ease to the hips of her Farmer's Market Cardigan . We also left Our Intrepid Heroine admitting that she had added a steek to the...

I started knitting circular objects—socks, gloves, mittens, hats, and so on—on double-pointed needles (DPNs). While I enjoyed knitting the pattern, I didn't particularly like the finished object because I always ended up with ladders where I switched from one needle to the next. I guess...

Greetings, all! Things are getting back to some semblance of normal here, which means not only fewer boxen lurking about, but more time to knit... We'll catch up with my progress on the Bolero from Feminine Knits and the Star Light, Star Bright baby blanket next week. But for now...more lace fun...

It is so good to be on the OTHER side of moving, the side where all your stuff comes out of the boxes and you finally get to eat with Real Forks again. I also love the dreaming part, where I get to stand in my new craft room and dream about how I want to organize it, what I want it to look like... So...
