I just heard from my friend Kerrie Allman, publisher of the UK-based magazine YARN FORWARD, that they’re increasing the issues they put out from 4 a year to a whopping 10!  Since recently it seems as if the internet’s killed…

We’ve all been there.  Just when you’re at a point in your knitting when you need to double-check your gauge or see if it’s time to switch stitch patterns, the ever-elusive measuring tape has disapeared.  Again.  What’s a knitter to…

I’ve been a bit incommunicado this week due to caring for a child with a horrible ear infection. Hopefully though, I can make it up to you by giving you a little Friday afternoon giggle. Me and a couple of…

Sure baskets of yarn and vases filled with needles make great, knitty home decor.  But what if you want to take it a step further–what if you want your knit in print?  Well I know I did, which is why…

I’m a longtime fan of Namaste products. I have a set of their beautiful glass needles displayed in my office, and have used one of their older Messenger bags to tote around larger projects for years. Their latest line The Cali Collection however,…

Time by Minnie Gertz

Time — such a precious

Gift is it

To work, to read, and

Yes, to knit.

Time to listen to the

Birds sing;

To watch flowers

Appear in spring.

Time to dream of

Good future days

While our peaceful

Living stays.

I was hanging out over on Ravelry (aka avoiding work) and came across this beauty, the February Lady Sweater, by Pamela Wynne. I *heart* it so, it hurts! The pattern’s adapted from an Elizabeth Zimmerman baby cardigan, but super-sized and modernized…

It’s a fact that wool is warmer when it’s wet, but I wonder what happens when it’s gassed? Should the situation arise, both Craftster’s Teriyakimoto and these prepared purlers will likely find out!

Technically, the documentary Young @ Heart, which follows a group of oldies-but-goodies as they cover some of rock music’s most iconic songs, isn’t at all about knitting. Their poster however is the pinnacle of modern-day, knitted punk-rockness! The irony of…

It’s Knit in Public Day, with events happening all around the world! Unfortunately, I’m going to miss out on the Austin celebration because I have a book signing today but I’ll make sure I knit outdoors at some point for solidarity’s…

When I was given the View Stick a couple of years back to try out, I passed it along to my mom thinking that it would be the perfect aid for her to read the fine print of knitting patterns. …

Oops, he knit it again! My dear friend Dave Lowe always keeps me in stitches with his clever, cartoon blog, ParaAbnormal. His most recent entry however packs such a purl-punch, I couldn’t resist sharing it. I wonder if they’re looking for UFOs?

I’m reporting to you straight from TNNA in Columbus, OH, where I found out that Knit.1 Magazine will now only be publishing TWO issues a year (down from 4).  Alas, the internet kills the print star, it seems.

I love this magazine…

A HUGE congratulations to my friends over at PBS’s Knit and Crochet Today: Brett Bara (host), Candi Jensen (producer), and the folks at Coats & Clark (underwriters)! The show’s been nominated for a regional EMMY! I’m so thrilled not only for them (all of…

Talk about wearing one’s heart on one’s sleeve!  Theo Wright not only does that with his AMAZING Fair Isle sweaters– he also, wears lyrics on his chest!  This one you see here is a tribute to Richard Thompson’s “1952 Vincent…
