  • Free pattern: Child's Fair Isle Hat

    Note from Sandi: Knitting for a child seems to bring out in us the longing to make something worthy of being passed down through the generations. Here is Lisa Shroyer's contributrion to the staff design challenge for Interweave Knits Summer 2009: "Design an Heirloom." Sweet Hex Child’s...

  • Using Blocking Wires to Block Lace Shawls

    For years, I have used pins to block my lace shawls--dozens and dozens of T-pins, painstakingly placed and then adjusted one by one until every single point was just right, and every single motif was shown off to its best advantage. I'd heard of blocking wires, but never given them much thought,...

  • Video: Blocking A Large Lace Shawl

    If I am knitting a piece of lace in public, friendly strangers will ask, "What are you knitting?" When I tell them it is a lace shawl, they get this very polite, back-away-slowly-from-the-crazy-woman look on their face. I look down at what I am knitting and realize that to them, the rumply...

  • Nancy Bush Shares Her Passion For Estonian Lace

    Note from Sandi: Ever wonder if famous designers look back on their early designs and say, "I would do that differently today"? We wondered this, too! Over the years, Nancy Bush , author of Interweave's new book Knitted Lace of Estonia: Techniques, Patterns, and Traditions , as well as...

  • Exploring a Tricky Cast-On For Toe-Up Socks

    Eastern Cast On I was flipping through the final proofs of the new Fall Knits with a colleague who is a beginning knitter, and when I got to the chapter on different cast-ons and bind-offs, she looked mildly puzzled and said, "You mean there's more than one?" When we are beginners, we learn...

  • Getting Started With Your Darts: Shoulders to Bust

    The First Step: Choosing The Right Pattern Size For busty gals who want to use darts to help things fit better, here's a little trick: If you want a snug(gish)-fitting sweater, you can use your high-bust measurement, instead of your full bust measurement, to choose which pattern size to make.

  • Lots of Socks--And Lots of YOU!

    When I first came to work at Interweave, I found out that my officemate was to be none other than the one and only Ann Budd , author of one of my most well-loved knitting books: The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns . I was petrified. They might as well have put me in the same office with Maya Angelou...

  • Ann Budd's Special Brand of Sock Magic

    Ah, technology. As Mary Chapin Carpenter sang, "Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug." Our server-hosting company had some technical difficulties this week, which meant that we were unable to do our regular Monday post. Sorry about that. The technogeeks have been...

  • The Basics of Blocking, Part One

    Everything you need to start blocking Since I finished the back of the Bonsai Tunic last weekend (from Interweave Knits Spring 2007 ), I figured the best way to start talking about blocking was to do a bit of show-and-tell, starring my new best friend: the charming Miss Blocking Board! The board was...
