Going forward, there’s more Yarn Forward!

June 30, 2008 | 1 Comment

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 the print magazine star, it’s fantastic to hear that there are those publications that are [...]

Does your knitting measure up?

June 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment

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 do?  Never fear, Knit Stix® are here!
These patented designed needles have the digits you need [...]

Behind the Knitter

June 27, 2008 | 2 Comments

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 old friends from Knitty Gritty but together this spoof video. It’s the [...]

Knit Prints

June 24, 2008 | 1 Comment

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 bought this first crafty cutie for my office from Rosie Music.
As I did a [...]

Bag Hag

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, has offially given me a “bag crush”. [...]

Knitting Poetry - Time

June 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment

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.

February in June

June 18, 2008 | 1 Comment

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 for those of us who love a retro look with a bit [...]

Knitting, it’s a real gas!

June 17, 2008 | 1 Comment

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!

Young @ Heart

June 16, 2008 | 1 Comment

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 course being that Fox Searchlight was assumably trying to juxtapose the traditional “call of [...]

Public Display

June 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment

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 sake. Grab your needles & check out the WWKiP site for a Knit [...]
