Crochet the Companion
Emma Varnam,
It has been a very challenging spring/early summer weather wise. I follow quite a few gardeners and flower growers on social media and they are all despairing of the damp dark days and the marauding slugs. How disheartening it must be to see whole crops disappear to a silvery mush. Then there must …

Kermit
Lorette,
There is something very satisfying about going from fluff, to handspun yarn, to a finished wearable thing. The fiber was something that had been sitting on my wheel, partly spun, until a few weeks ago when I finished spinning and plying it into yarn. As soon as it was dry, I cast on a little … Cont…

Knitting on the Go: All you need to know
Angeles Rodrigué,
There’s something magical about knitting while travelling. Airport waiting times, long flights, or train rides, can all transform into creative time when you have your knitting with you. I remember a particularly long delay at Dublin Airport a few years back, and how those extra 3 hours flew by as …

Summer 2024
Stana D. S. (noreply@blogger.com),
My summer project is to knit another rattlesnake. I was asked to make one, and I looked through my yarn stash and picked up the yarn in the colors I wanted to use. I have not started to knit the snake, yet and now I have a bit of deadline to finish this project, simply because I was procrastinating…

The Yarn Barn of Kansas
Beth Brown-Reinsel,
I flew to Kansas, looking forward to once again teaching there.  I was happy to bring along my samples for my Cowichan-Inspired Cardigans class, but being SO bulky, I had some super-packed suitcases!  I also taught my Latvian Fingerless Mitts class.  They both are so fun to knit!  My students all w…

Team Knit 2024
Stephanie Pearl-McPhee,
I have always been, much to my own disappointment and that of my mother, a person who is a rather vulnerable to criticism. My grandfather thought that criticism was valuable and told you a lot about where you should be … Continue reading →
