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 […]
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 […]
How to Care For Handknits
I love starting a new knitting project. I love that “Aha!” moment when you start to see a pattern emerge on a blanket or a scarf. I love that same moment when a sweater starts to take shape. I love when I try a new stitch or embellishment, and after several tries and some muttered […]

Baby blanket knitting patterns are one of my favorite things because 1) babies are adorable and anything and everything made for babies to use or wear is pretty much adorable and 2) you don’t have to measure blankets. You don’t really even have to worry about the […]
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, […]
Some of My Favorite Knitting Supplies
I’m a sucker for fun knitting supplies. Do you know what I mean? Those knitting supplies that aren’t necessarily essential, but are so cute and so much fun and that just make you happy. Things like cute stitch markers for knitting. Or embroidery scissors shaped like a stork (the scissors are the beak!! Do you […]
12 Ways to Organize the Yarn Stash
Are you January-ing like I am? Resolving to eat some actual green, leafy things and to get outside and walk or run or something instead of stying huddled up inside where it’s warm? And perhaps even planning to organize your yarn stash? No? Is that going too far? I love to look at ideas for organizing […]
