I just got my copy of the 2004 Interweave Knits CD Collection , and I realized that the only paper 2004 issue I have is the Winter issue, so I quickly loaded up the CD and began browsing. The first thing I noticed is that so many of the sweaters are just as current today as they were in 2004—which...

Knitting Retreat by the Sea! There's nothing like spending time with old friends, is there? My Seattle knitting group got together last weekend in Gig Harbor, Washington. We had such a great time, watching movies ( The Proposal and The Hangover ; great cinema, not, but good laughs!), eating and drinking...

A note from Kathleen: One of my LYSes here in Spokane is Paradise Fibers. They stock roving of all kinds and myriad knitting, spinning, and weaving supplies. I recently bought some Tussah silk there to make a Fleece Dog version of my dog Poppy. As I was feeling it, I wondered how you could possibly spin...

The cardigan sweater is a classic for all seasons. You can throw it on over a T-shirt in the fall and spring, keep a light-weight cardigan on hand for chilly summer evenings, and wear one as a top in the winter. I have several cardigans in my closet and I wear them all year. There are so many ways to...

My sister doesn't like pumpkin pie, (I do not understand; does not compute) but her favorite color is orange. I was thinking about this yesterday as I was raking up orange and yellow and brown leaves, thinking about how pretty the fall colors are, even as I'm hating raking. There are so many...

I love calendars, especially wall calendars, and I spend a lot of time every year in the bookstore choosing something that will inspire me every day. It's a tough choice, too, because with wall calendars, you look at one photo for a whole month. I've said before how lucky I am to have this job...

I went off to Rhinebeck, New York, last weekend, to immerse myself in the fiber world at the huge annual NYS Sheep & Wool Festival. Did I have fun? Does a knitter have dpns under her sofa cushions? It was fabulous. One llama tried to pick me up and get frisky with me on the first date. The llama...

Sandi's recent blog (" What's on My Needles ") got me thinking about what's in my UFO (unfinished object) pile. My "pile" is less like a pile and more like a parade of different sizes of Ziplock baggies overstuffed with yarn, patterns, and projects on the needles—all...

LOSE THAT CABLE NEEDLE! My current project in Kathleen's Knit-a-Long —the Central Park Hoodie —is a cable pattern, and I'm saving tons of time doing the cables without a needle. In the fall 2009 issue of Interweave Knits there's a Beyond the Basics lesson on this technique, and...

A Note from Kathleen: My main craft is knitting, but several years ago I took a crochet class because I expected that I might like that craft, too. And I do enjoy crocheting, especially for items like baby blankets--it's simply so much faster than knitting. What I didn't expect was that knowing...
