Today, I've got a treat for you that ought to put a smile on your face and get your toes a-tappin'. Especially if your toes happen to be wearing handknitted socks... I'm kind of hesitant to spoil the fun for you by telling you anything about today's video before you see it. Except that...

I've been promising photos of my version of the Leaf and Nupp Shawl , a pattern out of Interweave's new lace knitting book, Knitted Lace of Estonia by Nancy Bush. (Want more info about this nifty book? Go here !) So: Photos! I'm more than half-done with the center section; the four-sided...

Ready to block! Note from Sandi: I am off to Mobile, Alabama, to spend time with Grandma Rose and Grandpa Manuel this week. But I didn't want to leave you without a little Knitting Daily in your email inbox! In July of 2007, I wrote a three-part series on blocking that seemed just perfect to share...

I’m between Thanksgivings right now—Canada, my new home, has already celebrated theirs, and the U.S., where my family lives, celebrates theirs next week. I kind of like having an entire season of gratitude, instead of just a week or so; it helps me to reflect on ALL the good things that have...

Note from Sandi: You use different knitting needles for different kinds of knitting, right? So why use the same cast-on all the time for everything? Eunny Jang, editor of Interweave Knits , once again is our guest here on Knitting Daily , to show us how to do an alternative cast-on method--and when to...

Note from Sandi: The Knits team and I are always looking for new goodies to share with you, and this time, Eunny Jang, editor of Interweave Knits, and the whole Interweave Knits team decided to issue you a "backstage pass" to the Winter Knits photoshoot: a behind-the-scenes video! Here's...

Note from Sandi: Ever wish you could get a glimpse into editor Eunny Jang's mind as she plans the next issue of Interweave Knits magazine? Imagine sifting through gorgeous yarns, mulling over sketches and swatches, knowing that you get to choose what everyone will be knitting this season. What fun...

Note from Sandi: Ever wonder if famous designers look back on their early designs and say, "I would do that differently today"? We wondered this, too! Over the years, Nancy Bush , author of Interweave's new book Knitted Lace of Estonia: Techniques, Patterns, and Traditions , as well as...

Today's knitting treat: A lace knitting technique video for you --PLUS we introduce two new lace patterns for Knitting Daily readers!

I have a serious case of startitis right now: I seem to want to cast on for every single pattern I see lately. (Well, perhaps not ALL of them. When I saw your Halloween photos of knitted and crocheted wigs and mohawks and smurfs , I admit that I didn't feel the need to make myself a nice pink mohawk...

A magical event happens in our Interweave family each fall--somewhere in a beautiful setting, rooms begin to fill with puffs of alpaca, wool, and silk; spinning wheels sprout as though from nowhere, and everywhere, everywhere, you hear the click of knitting needles and the joyful voices of knitters showing...

Today, we continue our behind-the-scenes look at last week's Season 2 tapings of Knitting Daily TV with more from Jaime Guthals: One of the best parts of my job as segment producer is finding your versions of some of our most popular patterns and coordinating their 15 minutes of fame on the show...

I showed you a really great cast-on for toe-up socks on Monday ...but what do you do when you get to the cuff and need to bind off? Lots of folks, myself included, get a little tight-fisted when it comes to binding off, and it's a bit demoralizing to knit a beautiful sock that fits you perfectly...

Eastern Cast On I was flipping through the final proofs of the new Fall Knits with a colleague who is a beginning knitter, and when I got to the chapter on different cast-ons and bind-offs, she looked mildly puzzled and said, "You mean there's more than one?" When we are beginners, we learn...
