6 Enchanting Novels About Knitting

6 Enchanting Novels About Knitting

Knitting is therapeutic, I tell you (except, of course, for those times you discover a mistake several rows back and you must unravel an hour’s worth of work while cursing quietly). But for the most part, curling up in a comfy spot with a hot cup of something and a giant pile of fluffy yarn…well, […]

10 Favorite Sweater Knitting Patterns for Kids

10 Favorite Sweater Knitting Patterns for Kids

Although I’m partial to baby blanket knitting patterns and, I think, always will be, I do love knitting sweaters for kids as well. Kid sweaters are fun! You can try out embellishments or new stitches in knitting patterns without committing to an entire blanket. And unlike the sweaters I knit for me, kids’ sweaters almost always turn […]

10 Nautical Baby Blanket Knitting Patterns

I’m doing a lot of knitting these days. It makes me feel like I’m doing something on these days when we can’t leave the house to do much else. I feel so productive, creating things at home. I know a lot of people are doing different things while they’re home – baking bread, learning an […]

Free Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern — The Dropstitch Blanket

Wanna know one of my favorite parts about knitting blankets for babies? They’re small enough that I can have the fun of experimenting with different patterns and stitches, without being locked into a project for six months (usually!). My only problem is that I’m running out of babies. Does this happen to you? When you […]

10 Adorable Baby Blanket Knitting Patterns

I love giving hand-knit blankets for baby presents. They’re special and unique (like babies!), but they can be pretty simple knitting projects and you don’t have to worry about them fitting. In fact, if I don’t have the exact yarn or needles for a pattern, usually I just use what I have and it works […]

Knitting Journals to Keep Track of All Your Projects

About a year ago, I started keeping a reading journal. I’m in a book club, and I like talking about books with my mom and my friends and I found myself quite often saying things like “I just read this great book. I remember thinking you would really like it. It’s about this woman who…” […]

11 Beautiful Lacy Baby Blanket Knitting Patterns

Earlier this week, I asked a question in our newsletter (do you get the newsletter? You can sign up to get it at the bottom of this post or over to the right there –>) After spending a week in Hawaii, I was wondering – what do people in warmer climates knit? It’s currently snowing […]

Make this easy knitting pattern – Mock Cable Baby Blanket

I love the look of cable knits. They make such gorgeous hats and sweaters. I think cable knitting scares a lot of people, but it’s one of those things you just have to sit down and…do…and you realize after you try it once or twice that the concept is really pretty simple. It is not, however, […]
