Last fall, several intrepid knitters got together for a Knitting Daily Knit-Along and made Ashley Rao's Pan-Am Jacket. This jacket is a wonderful challenge for the courageous knitter. And it's the perfect project for a knit-along! Everyone learned so much from each other, and the community that...

Back in December 2012, I showed you the handmade socks for Dad’s Christmas gift … well, the promise of socks. I’m embarrassed to say that those remain in the promise phase. In the meantime, though, I did manage to knit socks for my boyfriend (previously unmentioned here to keep them...

Being able to fix your mistakes is crucial to advancing beyond beginning knitting. In fact, after a beginning knitting class, I think an "Oops" class is the next step. This is where you'll learn to fix the most common mistakes that beginner knitters (all knitters, in fact!) make a lot....

(Possibly the most awkward blog title I've ever written.) There's been some beyond the norm behind-the-scenes activity here in the Knitscene offices of late. Amidst the drama of our busiest press season, there were some staffing changes at the offices. If you've picked the amazing Interweave...

Every year when graduation time rolls around I can't believe these little babies I've known since day one are graduating from high school (or college!). When I graduated, I got lots of checks, which was great, but I also got a handknitted blanket. I still have that blanket, and every time I see...

As you know, I'm a recent convert to triangular shawls. They're beautiful and really useful, especially this time of year! I went to a spring football scrimmage last weekend (go, Cougs!) and, thankfully, I wore a shawl. The weather was quintessentially springish in Spokane, windy/cloudy/sunny...

Basilica, from Free-Spirit Shawls Vogue Knitting Live was held in Seattle a couple of weeks ago and I was lucky enough to go. I got a triangular shawl kit, which is something I don't usually knit. There's no real reason I don't knit triangular shawls, it's just that I've always been...

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...

Kathleen's finished Minimalist Cardigan I knit the Minimalist Cardigan by Ruthie Nussbaum in the spring and summer of 2010. I wore it a few times, and then spilled some coffee on it. I put it in the washing machine on hand wash with cold water, I thought, and when I pulled it out, it was well and...

We all started off as beginning knitters. We learned about knitting needles , yarn, how to cast on, knit garter stitch, and bind off. Somehow, we've progressed to knitting hats, scarves, mittens, and even sweaters! Along the way we learned all sorts of things: how to increase, decrease, work cables...
