I always have a hard time deciding what styles to knit and wear. Right now I think my favorite style is lace, even as the weather is taking a turn for the cold. I especially like how it looks with layered fabrics, allowing different colors to show through. I will forever be inspired by the… Continue reading Emily Explains: Double Yarn Overs

Norah’s Knits: Skirting the Issue – Knitted Skirts
Confession – While I was planning Norah Gaughan vol. 13, I thought Dickson was a poncho.

My businessman, sports-loving, grill-aficionado father had a design idea for me. Usually, these idea are silly and revolve around golf or sailing,… Continue reading Emily Explains: Assembly for Gazost
Norah’s Knits: Aran Sweaters
Cable knitting has long been a favorite for me. I like to have enough going on in my knitting that I have to think a bit, but not too much. I also like to see my progress. In cabled patterns, heavily cabled rows are often followed by easy rows. The cable rows egg me on.… Continue reading Norah’s Knits: Aran Sweaters
