Last weekend I went to camp. The event was called Wild Women's Weekend and it was held at a YMCA camp that I went to as a child. It was so much fun to go again as a "big kid"! Three of my knitting friends went along, too, and even though there were a bunch of activities on the schedule...

Needle-Felted Lovelies Now that fall is here, I've been thinking a lot about felting projects because I like to make felted items for holiday gifts.

Sailing the Fair Isles In my knitting, I tend to get inspired by something and just jump right in, whether or not I know how to do certain techniques.

It is so good to be on the OTHER side of moving, the side where all your stuff comes out of the boxes and you finally get to eat with Real Forks again. I also love the dreaming part, where I get to stand in my new craft room and dream about how I want to organize it, what I want it to look like... So...

Hi Knitting Daily, First of all… wow! I still can’t get over what an incredible job Eunny did in demonstrating how to get started on our Knit for a Cause Breast Cancer Support Scarf from Knitting Daily TV. Seven months pregnant at the time, I wasn’t able to make it to the tapings back...

A Happy Edging A friend of mine just finished a garter stitch baby blanket and when my knitting group saw the finished product we decided it needed a border of some sort. My friend didn't want a plain garter border, so I pulled out the new Harmony Guide, Knit Edgings and Trims: 150 Stitches , and...
