That's what I was saying a few months ago, after I impulse-bought some beautiful sparkly S. Charles Luna. It's brown with the most delightful golden sparkle. It's 71 percent mohair, and it's really fine, so I thought I'd run it with another yarn to add a special touch. Here's...

Last week I randomly discovered that you could buy the Knitscene Winter 2007/Spring 2008 issue on Amazon from a reseller. For FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. I'm guessing that's wishful thinking, or some other strange thing, but... whoa! We have tons of amazing patterns in our back issues, but not all...

Finishing is a crucial part of knitting a sweater, and most of us have had to learn on our own how to accomplish neat looking, buttonholes, picked-up stitches, and so forth. We can take loads of classes about how to knit, but finishing skills classes are few and far between. So I thought I'd have...

The cardigan sweater is a classic for all seasons. You can throw it on over a T-shirt in the fall and spring, keep a light-weight cardigan on hand for chilly summer evenings, and wear one as a top in the winter. I have several cardigans in my closet and I wear them all year. There are so many ways to...

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...
