As if you don’t have enough leaves around, here’s another one for you. But, this one doesn’t have to be raked up, or shredded, or mowed. This one is knitted. Bet you’re surprised, eh? A knitted leaf on a knitting…

You wanted it, you got it. This is my primo source. I NEVER (and I repeat: NEVER) knit a pattern with the yarn that is recommended. There are a plethora of reasons for this, mostly centering around the fact that…

When I first learned to knit, (I don’t even remember when that was) I remember that I learned everything the hard way. Never had the benefit of reading one long line of k2,p3, yo, decrease that, cross this…… nope. Had…

I recently ran smack dab into a great explanation (complete with photos!) of the differences between intarsia and fair isle knitting. Maggie’s Rags offers this here:

http://www.maggiesrags.com/tips_color.htm

An example of Fair Isle or stranded knitting can be seen is this pretty Seashore…

Of course (smacks head). Why not? How cool is this! And who else but Knit Picks? This kit including the pattern and yarn comes in 4 awesome color combinations (green too!).

 

This handy tote has space for all of your knitting…

Yesterday I did a post on Craftzine’s Knitted Handlebar Bag. As I was surfing around their site, I found a video showing how to take a digital image and turn it into a knitting pattern. The video shows a skeleton…

I recently aquired some of this yarn. It’s recycled, handspun silk sari yarn, gorgeous stuff. Currently I’m knitting a bag, and I’ll let you know how that goes. It’s fun to knit with, and knits up quickly (the size 13…

Knitting for Charity has instructions on how to lengthen knitted garments, just in case, you know, you’re like “vertically challenged” like I am!

But, a word of warning, it requires scissors, so take a deep breath….

This is just pretty. Plus it’s green, and we all know how I love green! Imagine this with beads, oh yeah, I smell a shawl in the making!

Sarah, from knitting.about.com brings us this pretty stitch swatch.

This is one brave lady! Cutting steeks for me requires a sewing machine, lots and lots of thread, and usually some alcohol (not to mention chocolate!) Dawn Brocco shows us how she sews steeks (by hand! – gasp!) in this…

Are you a visual learner? If so, you have so come to the right place!

Berroco has, in their tutorial library, this video, How To Sew On A Buttonband. Go here to learn how:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odJeZnk9CQg

And here for more of Berocco’s tutorials:…

Picture an idyllic village in the rolling hills of England. Picture small old world houses and buildings nestled in with each other.  Now picture all of this knitted!

A group of knitters in Mersham, England has done just this. Nearly every…

There are more and more knitting tutorials popping up everywhere from individual web sites, to retails sites to YouTube videos.

Here are some I found this morning featuring twisted cordings, picot edges, and wet finishing handspun yarns, here: http://www.tactilefiberarts.com/patterns

Also available is…

This is great, a tutorial showing different ways to do socks!

Come To Silver has these online classes, here: http://www.cometosilver.com/socks/

There’s not a lot of words on her site to explain, but she’s got some beautiful pics of her knitting! Check it…

Over this:

A knitted village! Not that it’s particularly funny, or even ridiculous, it’s kind of cool. Actually it’s really cool! Complete with people, cars, flowers, all knitted! Even the roads are knitted. The more I look at it, the more…
