Knitting Daily TV Back This Weekend

by

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.

Comments

  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.

Bookmark Knitting Patterns

It’s always a good time for a bookmark, and even more so as we start thinking about back to school time. Reading is more fun when you have a pretty bookmark. That’s just science. 

Plus bookmarks are fast, portable, and a fun way to try out different skills. So let’s get busy with some bookmark knitting patterns!

This set of three bookmark knitting patterns from Lucky Fox Knits includes one worked in garter stitch, an easy eyelet lace and one with eyelets running down the center. I love the little I-cord for the tassel!

Add a simple textured stitch to a bookmark to make it a little more fun. This one from Franciscan Gypsy is called the paper towel bookmark, and I’ll bet you can pick it out above just from that description. This one calls for fingering weight yarn. 

Another pretty allover pattern is this slip-stitch lace design from Handy Little Me. Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Speak Now, it’s a sweet little design worked in fingering weight yarn. This one is a little extra fun because it has two tassels. 

I love this undulating wheat ear bookmark pattern from KMKnits Shop. It’s an interesting stitch pattern perfect for advanced beginner knitters, and it uses sport weight yarn. 

A lot of knit bookmarks have a bit of lace, and they’re actually a great way to pick up some lace knitting skills on a tiny project that doesn’t have to be perfect. I like this lacy one from Val Knitting Shop, which is inspired by daisy petals. It calls for fingering weight yarn. 

The Jasmine Bookmark from Valentina Fezova-Georgieva is another pretty lace pattern that’s a little more complex but still totally doable. It calls for fingering weight yarn and is available on Ravelry.

If you want a more literal inspiration of flowers in your bookmark pattern, try the pair of floral bookmarks form Warm and KnittedS. One has a little rosette and the other just has leaves. They look like I-cord but they’re actually worked flat on two needles and will stitch up in no time for a last minute gift or to tuck into your latest read.
