I keep thinking I'm going to get bored with the Farmer's Market Cardigan , but every time I sit down to work on it, I enter some sort of strange space/time warp. You know the one I mean, the one where there's only you, the needles, and the yarn, all happy in a little space/time continuum...

A note from Kathleen: One of my LYSes here in Spokane is Paradise Fibers. They stock roving of all kinds and myriad knitting, spinning, and weaving supplies. I recently bought some Tussah silk there to make a Fleece Dog version of my dog Poppy. As I was feeling it, I wondered how you could possibly spin...

A note from Kathleen: I'm eagerly awaiting the new season of Knitting Daily TV . KDTV is so inspiring and entertaining; there's information on everything "yarny" you can imagine. I was so excited to see an Artfelt® segment this season—Artfelt is an innovative felting technique...

When I first learned to knit I was a "thrower" (or English-style knitter)—I held the yarn in my right hand and wrapped it (or threw it) around the right-hand needle. Most of my friends were "pickers" (or Continental-style knitters)—they held the yarn in their left hands...

Needle-Felted Lovelies Now that fall is here, I've been thinking a lot about felting projects because I like to make felted items for holiday gifts. In the past I've made felted slippers, bags, beads for necklaces, and coasters. The coasters are a favorite because I just knit yardage in stockinette...

"Sock it to me" is such a cliché, but it's true this time--I've been socked with sock goodness! Yes, I was lucky enough to attend the Sock Summit in Portland, Oregon, this weekend. Actually, I was only there on Thursday and Friday because I had to come home and teach a sock class...

Whether you knit scarves to take a break from serious knitting, to practice a new stitch, or even to knit up a quick gift, there's no denying that scarf knitting is popular amongst all skill levels. First you start with garter stitch scarves, and then you break into stockinette (and learn that the...

A note from Kathleen: As you all know, I'm a knitter. But I dabble in crochet (I did the Hemp Flowers Necklace a couple of years ago), and I was so excited to see the new book Crocheted Gifts . It's the sister book to Knitted Gifts , and it's a treasure trove of fun gift ideas. I like crochet...

The Knitting Daily TV hosts are on hiatus right now, that term used in television scheduling to refer to a break between seasons. So we thought it would be a good time to catch up with them and look back at the last three series’ tapings and their favorite memories. Not surprisingly, the recurring...

True confession: I've never spun a single inch of yarn. Really embarrassing true confession: I've never wanted to spin a single inch of yarn. (I'm sure that'll change as I get to know more about spinning, right?) So why am I even talking about spinning? It's all because of the yarn...
