That's what I was saying a few months ago, after I impulse-bought some beautiful sparkly S. Charles Luna. It's brown with the most delightful golden sparkle. It's 71 percent mohair, and it's really fine, so I thought I'd run it with another yarn to add a special touch. Here's...

A note from Kathleen: The Central Park Hoodie is the highest-selling sweater knitting pattern in the Knitting Daily Shop, and for good reason. I knit it as part of the first ever Knitting Daily Knit-Along, and so have thousands of others—yes, thousands; 4638 on Ravelry alone! That's soon to...

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...

In both Interweave Knits Fall 2012 and Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts 2012 (look for that preview soon!), we've included patterns that utilize the sometimes scary technique of steeking.

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...

The Off-Rib Cardigan by Stefanie Japel Last fall I took a top-down sweater class from Stefanie Japel at Interweave Knitting Lab and it was fab. She talked about easy alterations that make sense, like adding in short-row shaping where you need it, making your sweater bigger or smaller and where to do...

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.

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...
