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.

Ashley’s Adventures in Knitting: Holiday Gift KAL
I've been dying to get my hands (or more accurately, my needles) on Berroco Kodiak, so I was thrilled that Aude was chosen as the project for our Holiday Gift Knit-Along!

Knitter’s Spotlight: A La Mode by Lori Versaci
With the name a la mode, it’s no surprise that Lori Versaci’s handknit sweater was actually inspired by a look on the runway at New York Fashion Week.

I cast… Continue reading Ashley’s Adventures in Knitting: Caley
Knitter’s Spotlight: Coffee & Yarn Hat by Kathy Ticho

In fact, she owns a combined yarn shop and coffee house called Knitche, which caters to knitters, crocheters and spinners in the Chicago area, who also enjoy a good cup of coffee or tea. So it's no surprise that her most recent design combines both… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Coffee & Yarn Hat by Kathy Ticho
