There's no place like New York City. At least that's what I hear; I've never been! I've got a trip planned for this fall, though, so I'll finally get to see all of the amazing locations in the Big Apple. My friends who've traveled there have recommended all sorts of activities...

The Wavelength Tunic by Hilary Smith Callis It's hard to believe, especially when Interweave's offices in Loveland were closed on Monday because of a blizzard, but summer is coming. We have a 70-degree day coming up in Spokane, and my spring cleaning (I'm talking to you, garage!) is almost...

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...

I'm eco-conscious, and I'll bet you are too. I recycle, reuse, and reduce wherever I can. But did you ever think about the environment in regards to your knitting? The yarn you choose can make a difference ecologically, and I recently learned a lot about the fiber tencel from a segment on Knitting...

Wrap Blouse from Light & Layered Knits Sport Zip Jacket from Light & Layered Knits When I was in college, a friend showed up to a late-spring baseball game wearing a long-sleeve tee-shirt under a short-sleeve tee shirt. This was 25 years ago, so layering wasn't as common as it is now! It...

Editors' Note: We asked Whitney Dorband, PieceWork 's marketing specialist, to tell us more about the vintage patterns she re-created for Knitting Traditions and Crochet Traditions . I have had the pleasure of re-creating several patterns published in the late 1800s to early 1900s for the pages...

A note from Kathleen: The Central Park Hoodie is the highest-selling sweater knitting pattern in the Knitting Daily Shop, and for good reason. I knit it as part of the first ever Knitting Daily Knit-Along, and so have thousands of others—yes, thousands; 4638 on Ravelry alone! That's soon to...
