A note from Kathleen: What have I learned from Knitting Daily TV ? Honestly, I don't think I have the space here to list all of the incredible tips, new techniques, and pure inspiration that I've gotten from KDTV! From new ways to cast-on to working with multiple colors to machine knitting tips...

They may not be brand new to professional design, but these designers were new to me in 2010. Most of them are still up-and-coming and all are worthy of your time—go check em out! I think you’ll be seeing big things from them in the next year. All of these designers will be published in Knitscene...

You all know how much I love to cables; in fact I just bought a pattern yesterday for a simple cable pullover. I was looking at the pattern and I thought about changing the cable, so I picked up Lily Chin's recent book, Power Cables , to get some ideas. The cable in the pattern is a horseshoe cable...

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...

Well, maybe it's not your absolute last chance—there are 25 days until Christmas, and a few years ago I knit a garter stitch scarf for someone on December 23rd—but we're cutting it close! I thought you might appreciate a few ideas for last-minute gifts; there's time to knit any...

It seemed like a really good idea at the time. Ever since my sister Liz asked me to make her the Central Park Hoodie , I've been planning on substituting a bit of custom cablework in for the cables in the original design. It's not that I don't like the original design; I do. But the truth...

Asian inspired closure from Knit Kimono, Too by Vicki Square I'm a button junkie. When I travel, I always visit yarn shops and fabric stores (big surprise!) and I usually end up with a special button or two to remind me of my trip. I think button collecting is in my genes. I have buttons that were...

If you're like me, you're a yarn hoarder—you hang onto every potentially usable scrap of yarn leftover from projects (or in some cases, your friends' projects…) because they could be useful, some day. Most notably, I have a bunch of scraps from past sock projects; little balls...

Brioche Stitch Cardigan by Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark The world of knitting never ceases to amaze me with its wealth of options—the yarn choices, needle choices, stitch choices, and pattern choices are endless! One of those options is the brioche stitch. This versatile stitch is both beautiful and...

Ease. We throw this term around quite a bit. We know it means the amount of extra space between you and your sweater—or the lack thereof. We talk about fit and flattering your shape and on and on, but ease is more than just a matter of practical preference. Ease affects style . Look at the Williamsburg...

Do you ever feel like your hopes and dreams begin with a cast-on? I know, that's a little bit over the top, but I do get really excited when I'm about to cast on a new project. I can't wait to feel how the yarn will knit up, try different types of needles—will the yarn work better with...
