I've finished the sleeves on my Farmer's Market Cardigan . (Hooray!) That means I'm ready to sew them into the body of the cardigan, a job that some knitters detest. C'mon, admit it–how many of you knit only top-down raglans so you won't have to sew in a sleeve? And how many...

A note from Kathleen: I have every issue of Knitscene . One of my Seattle knitting groups used to meet at a bookshop and one of the bonuses was that we would get to see new issues of knitting magazines as soon as they hit the shelves. I bought a lot of magazines off the newsstand, but I can honestly...

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...

We've been doing the Knitting Daily Galleries for two years now, and each and every one of them is different; each and every one a delight in its own way. This one was different for me, because it was the first time I couldn't be in Colorado for the photoshoot, cheering on the Gallery Gals from...

Do you have some Spring projects hiding in your closet that are ABS: "all but seamed"? I bet you do. Seaming up projects is something many knitters express outright hatred for--they love the knitting part, but when it comes to the seaming, even a beloved project can go right into the back of...

Meeting a favorite designer in person is always a treat; listening to them talk about their inspirations for the designs that we knit each day gives us a deeper understanding of just how much work and love goes into each and every stitch. I got to meet Cookie A., author of our new book Sock Innovations...

I made a vow with myself several years back: I Will Not Get Into Needle Felting. I figured I had enough "hobbies" (let's just be honest and call them "obsessions," shall we?) and I didn't want any more reasons to spend money that might detract from my knitting stash expansion...

Gallery: Elinor Tunic, design by Wendy Bernard Everyone wanted to take this tunic home with them (we checked everyone's backpack at the end of the day). We were a bit surprised at how great it looked on a variety of body types--we all assumed that the stripe at the hips would look terrible--but it...

Gallery: Drawstring Raglan, design by Margery Winter Notes on fit: In the magazine, this sweater is shown slightly open, with about 0.75" positive ease. On our Gallery Gals, we also show it worn open, scooching the fabric back along the drawstring to create gentle pleats/folds from the drawstring...

Gallery: Apres Surf Hoodie, design by Connie Chang Chinchio What is it about little hoodies that is so completely captivating? Why do we all want this garment for ourselves? I don't know, but I was really disappointed that I couldn't try on the sample. Sigh. The difference between this hoodie...

Gallery: Imprint Tank, design by Sarah Hoadley Don't be scared of intarsia, say the Gallery Gals, especially not if it gives you a top like this one! (And by the way, Sarah? Designer Sarah? The inside of this garment is as pretty as the outside--all those color changes and yarn twists are beautiful...

Gallery: Folded Cowl Tee, design by Michelle Katerberg We LOVED this tee. We also quickly discovered that if the bust shaping wasn't too pronounced, the tee could be worn with either side as the front! We were delighted with how it looked either way. The front neckline is higher than the back, providing...

Introducing the Corset 9! (and Bertha makes 10.) Sandi talked nine of us Interweavers into trying on the Corset Pullover and (gasp!) disclose our measurements for her post, Nine Women and a Sweater . So, for the greater good of knitting, we agreed to demonstrate how the sweater looks with various amounts...
