Knitter’s Spotlight: Woodstock Dress by Heather Dixon
Heather Dixon’s love of knitting started early on. She says she asked her mom to teach her when she was just four or five, but her mom was too busy. Instead, Heather got a “Learn to Knit Kit” and taught herself – knitting and reknitting until she got it right. Apparently, all that practice paid… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Woodstock Dress by Heather Dixon
Ashley’s Adventures in Knitting: Vizcaya
I finished my second garment last week and I really think I'm starting to get the hang of this knitting thing! That's not to say it was without mistakes, though. I'm pretty sure I created the most massively horrible dropped stitch of all time (I haven't done any research on this, but I'm confident it'd… Continue reading Ashley’s Adventures in Knitting: Vizcaya

When I was little, my socks were white with lots of ruffles. In my early teens, I mostly wore ankle socks with cute prints. During… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Handknit Socks

What to Knit: Ashley

Norah overheard and was determined to prove me wrong. Last week, I got to spend an afternoon being personally styled by Norah (I know - I really have the best… Continue reading What to Knit: Ashley
Knitter’s Spotlight: Comfort Scarves
I’ve used Berroco Comfort to make a lot of winter accessories. Most recently, I crocheted a hat for my nephew and knit a pair of fingerless gloves for myself. It seems only natural that a scarf would be next on my Comfort “knit list.” As I was looking for patterns on Ravelry, I noticed that… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Comfort Scarves

I love holidays and any reason to knit or crochet. You might not think there would be much to make for smaller celebrations like Valentine's Day, but I found quite a few patterns on Ravelry. Since tomorrow's the big day, I thought I'd share a couple of quick knits and a really cute crochet decoration.… Continue reading Holiday Patterns: Valentine’s Day
