I've never owned a holiday sweater (unless you count a plain red or green sweater a holiday sweater!) but I have a friend who finds a cute new holiday sweater each year and wears it on Christmas for all to see and admire. I think she gets them at Nordstrom. This year, I've gotten ugly sweaters...

Thank you so much for your comments and emails in last Tuesday's post ! You let me know that you appreciated "the same or a bit more math, please" in these posts so you can more easily apply my techniques with the Farmer's Market Cardi to your own sweater-making. Thus: A Bit of Math...

A note from Kathleen: After hearing so many stories of the fun everyone had at this year's SOAR (Spin-Off Autumn Retreat), I looked at my Winter 2009 issue of Spin-Off with renewed interest. Spin-Off always provides lots of interesting items for knitters, but I actually read through some of the spinning...

I love calendars, especially wall calendars, and I spend a lot of time every year in the bookstore choosing something that will inspire me every day. It's a tough choice, too, because with wall calendars, you look at one photo for a whole month. I've said before how lucky I am to have this job...

We're having the most beautiful early fall here in Spokane. The air is crisp, the sun is shining, and all of my TV shows are starting up again. Well, I guess the TV shows are starting again everywhere, but that's still a sign of fall to me. I always knit while I watch TV, so I'm looking forward...

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...

A note from Kathleen: Even though it's only Wednesday, I'm looking forward to this holiday weekend! I'm taking a trip to Seattle to visit my friends and see the sites, and I'm going to visit all my old yarn-shop stomping grounds. I can't wait! A friend and I are driving, so I'll...

Did everyone have a joyous holiday, however you celebrated? Did you hug your family, eat lots of food, have a few hours of wonder and gratitude? Did you get cool knitting or crocheting or spinning stuff? Did you at least get a gift certificate so you can go to the yarn shop and buy yourself some nice...

I don't have any magic words to help you get all your holiday knitting done on time. (Sorry about that.) However, I do have a nifty little grafting tip for those of you who love knitting socks but, like me, utterly despise the Kitchener Stitch. I ran this tip last year at Christmas time to help everyone...
