Miss Pole's muffatees by Mary Lycan. Photograph by Joe Coca. A note from Kathleen: The January/February issue of PieceWork magazine is on the horizon, and I've gotten a sneak peek. Knitters should be really excited for it, because it's the annual Historical Knitting issue. Full of fabulous...

Noémie fingerless mitts Tutu Slippers Gabrielle fingerless gloves The wind is blowing all of my maple tree leaves into the yard. The sun is out, though, so that makes it better, and I'm trying to think of raking as an exercise activity! Positive thinking is hard sometimes. My hands and feet...

"Vintage" is used all over the place these days. Maybe our busy, tech-filled lives make us long for the simplicity of the past. Although our foremothers had many different challenges than we did—can you imaging knitting by candlelight after being on your feet all day cooking from scratch...

As a retired trial attorney, I am always curious about what people think and do during their time on a jury. So when I came across the Juris Mitts in the 2011 issue of Interweave Knits Accessories , I knew that I simply had to knit them. First, the designer came up with the idea while serving on a jury...

Hello WitKnits, I've done some knitting since last we spoke. I thought I would continue my yarn stories with a closer look at the yarns from the Interweave Knits Summer 2011 issue's Yarn Spotlight on page 12. These are the yarns and tools that I collected to feature in Interweave Knits Summer...

See that hat in the photo at left? This hat is mocking me. (See how it drops down low over my eyes and makes me look like I am five? It mocks me.) It's Connie Chang Chinchio's Blume Hat from Knitscene Fall 2010 , and trust me, Connie has nothing to do with what is going on between that hat and...

A note from Kathleen: I have an embarrassingly vast collection of rubber stamps, scrapbook paper, and papercrafting supplies. I make cards, little books, bookmarks, calendars, folded paper creations—I absolutely love papercrafting! I have a craft group, too, called Women Who Run with Glue Guns...

I’ve never knitted a pair of gloves, if you can believe that. Mittens, fingerless gloves, and wrist warmers are all in my repertoire, but no gloves! The thought of knitting all of those fingers has always steered me away from glove projects. I usually get about four pairs of those tiny knit gloves...

Note from Sandi: We all have the experience of seeing a sweater in a magazine and saying, "WOW!" But what separates the fabulous sweaters from the ordinary? Here's popular knitwear designer and author Vicki Square to give us her thoughts on what makes a truly knockout knitted sweater. Hello...

Colorwork patterns--such as the gorgeous Poetry Mittens we put into the online store on Wednesday (see below)--are some of the most beautiful knitting on the planet. But they can also seem quite daunting, since they involve working with more than one yarn at a time. But learning to work with two or more...
