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! Now I get to play with Kodiak and I don't have to feel bad about buying more yarn, because I'm making it as a… Continue reading Ashley’s Adventures in Knitting: Holiday Gift KAL
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. It was few years back that she saw a metallic pullover sweater paired with a stiff, straight skirt. It looked like a kind of fashionable armor. Soon, Lori… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: A La Mode by Lori Versaci
Ashley’s Adventures in Knitting: Caley
I pretty much knew I wanted to knit Caley from the moment I saw it on our model last spring.

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

So it's no surprise that her most recent design combines both… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Coffee & Yarn Hat by Kathy Ticho

Knitter’s Spotlight: Baby’s First BFF by Mary Triplett
Mary Triplett’s latest design was something of a personal challenge. She often sews teddy bears for people, but this time she wanted to see if she could knit a teddy bear on a blanket using a variety of stitches. “I even had to invent some new stitches because I couldn't find a stitch that worked… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Baby’s First BFF by Mary Triplett

Knitter’s Spotlight: Ona’s Slouchy Tee by Donna Palicka
After 21 years working for an international architectural firm, Donna Palicka left the corporate world and opened her own yarn shop - the Sister-Arts Studio in Chicago. Her goal then, and still today, was to teach the fiber arts to all ages, or as she puts it, “teach love.” Donna has found a new use… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Ona’s Slouchy Tee by Donna Palicka
