Knitting Daily TV Back This Weekend

by 3 Comments

knitting daily season 11I never remember to set my DVR, but I’m still excited to know that the new season of Knitting Daily TV hits public television starting this weekend. It’s the 11th season of the program, and the last one with Eunny Jang, the former editor of Interweave Knits who departed earlier this year.

This season’s lineup includes knit skirts, slip stitching, finishing knits, dyeing, working from the center out, lace, ribbing, graphic color and more.

You can wait for the 13 episodes to be shown on TV, or you can buy the 4-DVD set, which includes all the shows and a bonus session in intarsia cables with Eunny. In all it’s almost 6 hours of video for $39.99 for DVDs or instant download.

Are you a fan of Knitting Daily TV? I’m way behind on watching it but I’ve always enjoyed it when I do manage to catch it.

  1. I’m just glad there’ll be one more series with Eunny Jang before the new host ruins the show.

  2. I agree with KittenWithAWhiplash.
    I will miss Kristen Omhdal, but I will
    no longer be watching Knitting Daily.
    No Eunny=No Show
    Eunny is the only reason to watch.

  3. I want to thank Eunny for all she does. She is an awesome teacher; always succinct yet thorough. I look forward to following her in her new endeavor.

    I also look forward to Knitting Daily’s new host. I am very glad the show is available on my local PBS station.

Christmas Stocking Knitting Patterns for Your Pets

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
