For fall and winter I love Fisherman’s Rib. It’s warm a squishy like brioche, but a lot less temperamental. It’s quick and easy to knit, super bouncy and cozy and I love it in projects big and small.

The Blanket You’ll Want to Live Under All Season
There’s an article from the Onion I see every year that’s headlined “Girlfriend to Stay Underneath Blanket for Next Five Months.”

Add a Jack o’Lantern to a Project for a Bit of Halloween Fun
Admittedly it might be a little late to knit a whole sweater for Halloween unless you’re working on it all the time, but I couldn’t resist sharing the jack o’lantern chart Heidi from Hands Occupied used when she knit her … Read More ...
Stitch Up Some Bold Texture with the Hilly Hat
I am a huge fan of Malabrigo Rasta yarn. It’s such a big, bulky, colorful yarn that it’s just about unmistakable.
I say just about because I’m not 100 percent sure that’s what yarn was used on this sample Hilly … Read More ...
Bring Some Color (Blocking) to Your Fall Wardrobe
I love Henley style shirts, but I have yet to knit a sweater in this style. Maybe it will move off my knitting bucket list this year.

A Cabled Hat for the Whole Family

How About Some More Knit Pumpkins?
I have a knit pumpkin problem this year. It’s probably a good thing I don’t have that much orange yarn in my house (though of course you can knit pumpkins in a multitude of colors) or every surface would be … Read More ...
Knit a Mummy, Umm, Hat? for Halloween
I love knit Halloween costumes, or costumes that incorporate a bit of knitting into the design. (Though I’ve never made one for my daughter, she’s had plenty of handmade components in her costumes through the years.)

New Pattern Alert: Boxley Scarf
I haven’t designed anything in a long time. Life got busy and I was having a good time knitting other people’s designs. There’s so much great stuff out there and it’s really nice to have all the thinking done for … Read More ...
The Knitter’s Planner Was Made with Knitters in Mind
A lot of knitters I know like paper planners, calendars and journals rather than digital. I think that’s because paper products give us another way to be a little crafty (especially if you’re into bullet journaling) and somehow seeing everything … Read More ...
A Fun Textured Project to Keep a Kiddo Warm
