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...

I'm still looking for a gift for my mom. How about you? Knitters know that our craft is not a quick one, though, so we need to plan our gift knitting was ahead of time. But sometimes, life gets in the way, doesn't it. I want to knit something for my mom, but knitting patterns for women can be...

I've been a really lame sock knitter in the last few months. There are two socks on the needles, from two different sock knitting patterns , and I didn't really have any plans to pick either of those socks up in the near future. Provenance Socks by Heatherly Walker: Colorful scrolling patterns...

Is there such a thing as baby season? If so, it seems like we're smack dab in the middle of it! Or maybe it's just knitting-for-baby season. Whatever the case, I've got a couple of baby knitting patterns on the needles, and I need to cast on more. Luckily, baby knits are small and quickly...

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...

Kathleen's top-down seamless cardigan, in progress! Seamless knitting and I have a love/less-love relationship.

As spring and summer arrive, color is all around me. It's popping up in my garden, my wardrobe, and my knitting bag. I recently went through my stash and pulled out some lovely salmon for a summer tee. I've knit three summer tops, and I wear them a lot. It's so great to be able to wear your...

When I first started knitting garments, I did a lot of knitting for children. I learned complex knitting techniques, stitch patterns, and garment construction from knitting sweaters on a small scale. And the resulting product was so darling! What fun. Dax's Jacket by Katie Himmelberg Whirligig Shrug...

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...
