Vaudeville Shawl by Grace Akhrem Amodda Socks by Rachel Coopey "The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize." —Clairee Belcher, from the movie Steel Magnolias I watched that movie a few weeks ago; there are so many good lines in it, but the accessorizing...

Colorado is finally warming up, just in time to pick my favorite projects from the Summer 2013 issue of Interweave Knits ! If you haven't heard, Colorado was still getting snow up until two weeks ago! Ginevra Martin's Midsummer Aran is the perfect project to cast-on as the weather turns. In a...

The Dahlia Cardigan by Heather Zoppetti One of my favorite flowers is the dahlia and one of my all-time favorite cardigan knitting patterns is the Dahlia Cardigan by Heather Zoppetti, which originally appeared in Interweave Knits , Fall 2011. I love the drape in front, the decorative leaf detail on the...

One of my favorite things about Knitscene is its featured designer profile each issue. I love learning about designers and their inspiration. This time, it's Hilary Smith Callis, the designer of the Knitty smash hit, Citron, who's designed three special pieces for you. Here's writer Robin...

As many of you know, I'm a big Laura Ingalls Wilder fan. I read all of her books as a little girl, more than once. I read them again when I was about 30 years old and recovering from surgery. I remember that as a wonderful time, even though I was bed-ridden for two weeks. The Ingalls girls: (left...

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...

As you know, I'm a recent convert to triangular shawls. They're beautiful and really useful, especially this time of year! I went to a spring football scrimmage last weekend (go, Cougs!) and, thankfully, I wore a shawl. The weather was quintessentially springish in Spokane, windy/cloudy/sunny...

Editor's Note: We asked PieceWork ’s marketing manager, Caitlin Polasek, to share her thoughts about our May/June 2013 lace issue . I grew up reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie books and was captivated by the cozy pioneer life Laura brings to life in her stories...

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...

I recently received an email asking whether Sockupied includes toe-up sock knitting patterns. Why yes, we do! But how many, I wondered? I took a look at all three Sockupied issues from last year, which are available together as a Kit of the Month until the end of April 2013. Of the 17 sock patterns,...

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...
