I’ve been a glove girl for years, but I’m ready for a change. Mittens are on my “Must Knit” list this winter because they’re warmer, easier to slip on and tend to be more colorful – so I can easily spot the one that inevitably falls out of my pocket in a dark parking lot!… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Colorful Mittens

Knitter’s Spotlight: Kat Coat by JessieAtHome
When I was a little girl, I would have loved to have a knitted sweater coat like the ones Jessie Rayot made for her four-year-old twins. Okay, if I’m being totally honest I still want one as an adult! With beautiful colored panels, a full skirt for spinning and an adorable elfin hood, Rayot’s Kat… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Kat Coat by JessieAtHome
Knitter’s Spotlight: Cool Winter Hat Patterns
In my opinion, there’s nothing like a new knitted winter hat to get you excited to be out in the cold. It might sound silly, but I speak from experience. I used to live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and some days, the opportunity to show off my “chook” (that’s what Yoopers call a knit… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Cool Winter Hat Patterns
Knitter’s Spotlight: Cardamom by Whatthehay
We had a few sweaters this season that seemed to catch everyone’s eye. Cardamom was definitely one of them. Knit in the super bulky Berroco Peruvia Quick, it goes without saying that this cardigan doesn’t take long to make. It’s also cozy and has great texture, combining stockinette stitches, ribbing and a clever cabled button… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Cardamom by Whatthehay
Norah’s Knits: Variations on a Theme, Cable Knit Cardigans
I love designing with cables and designing new stitches. Sometimes the "invention" of a new knit cable is little more than a simple recombination of long loved stitches. To come up with the cable pattern for my Kaide cardigan, I started with this very basic easy honeycomb pattern in two sizes. I added a few columns… Continue reading Norah’s Knits: Variations on a Theme, Cable Knit Cardigans

The Sourcery Coat
A few weeks ago, a fellow Raveler told me about a beautiful coat she’d seen on Ravelry made with Berroco yarns. When we checked it out at the office, the whole team was blown away! The incredible patterning and color choices make this coat a masterpiece. Here it is, titled “Sourcery, A Pastiche” and knitted… Continue reading The Sourcery Coat
