My needle felted notions bags, in progress. A note from Kathleen: I was recently presented with a large bag of different colored bits of fleece.

A simple garter-stitch square might not seem like a big deal to you or me, but to a new knitter it's quite an accomplishment! I had a bar-b-que this weekend, and some of my knitting friends brought their projects. It was a great mix of people; and it was fun to see all of the people in my life mingling...

Molly's fabulous motif scarf I've just gotten a new book, 150 Knit & Crochet Motifs by Heather Lodinsky (the designer of the Central Park Hoodie!), which is really getting my creative juices flowing. Motifs have always intrigued me, and I've knitted and crocheted many of them, but I rarely...

Té Rosada by Pam Allen There are lots of projects that say "quick-to-knit" in the descriptions, and there are lots of reasons that's probably true. Quick knits can be small projects such as hats, mittens, or cowls. Some people might say scarves are quick projects, but my scarves...

The venerable Elizabeth Zimmermann rediscovered and named the I-cord (the I-cord, called a "stay lace," was mentioned in Victorian needlework manuals). The "I" stands for "idiot" because Ms. Zimmermann thought the technique was so simple anyone could do it (even an idiot...

Alternating Twists from Cables & Arans I am a stitch geek. I'm fascinated by the different ways that the humble knit stitch and the unassuming purl stitch get together and make a gadzillion different glorious combinations.

Bagaholics, bag ladies, and bag pigs (thank you, Merna S.!), unite! And what can we bag geeks say to Ms. Eliza, our friend who...

Too cute! The Knitting Needle Knitting Bag I'm beginning to think that I have a Serious Knitting Bag Habit, as I am getting dangerously close to having a different knitting bag for each UnFinished Object. This would not be a "Serious Knitting Bag Habit" if I only had one UFO (and thus only...
