As if you don’t have enough leaves around, here’s another one for you. But, this one doesn’t have to be raked up, or shredded, or mowed. This one is knitted. Bet you’re surprised, eh?

From: knittersrestaurant.blogspot.com

I am knitting up my favorite afghan pattern. It's pretty simple: it's all garter stitch and chunky weight yarn. The thing that makes it fun is you take all your chunky weight yarn and put it in a bag then pull out a skein and knit for about 25 rows, then switch yarn and knit for about 15 rows then repeat the steps until you get a strip that has 12 of the color changes. Then you make about 5 of those strips and sew them together and you have a cushy, lovely afghan Pretty simple. Then why am I having trouble making the ... Read Full Story

From: yarnblog.com

Well I did complete Alan’s vest about a month ago. Trying to get him to model it so I can put a photo on here has been impossible so far. The Knitting Pure and Simple pattern was fun and accurate plus the vest size fits very well indeed. Letting you into a secret I have started another Knitting Pure and Simple project for Alan. This one is pattern number 991 which is a neck down pullover for men. It is the first top down I have started for Alan, although this summer I made about four for myself all from Knitting Pure and Simple ... Read Full Story

Knit one, purl one, turn the plastic handle?

My grandmother just gave me some of her old knitting and sewing supplies, including what appears to be some sort of plastic knitting machine. Tell me more about it and how to use it! I'm pretty sure it's a knitting machine/toy of some sort, but my Nana's not verbal enough these days for me to ask her how to use it. I've googled a bit, but I don't really know what to call it. I want to know if it's worth me keeping for my crafty pursuits!

How Have You Altered Knitting Patterns?

Knitwear designers always have a particular vision in mind when they knit a project, but while they love to see other people follow that vision, I think most designers are happy to see people take their patterns and make them their own by changing up the color, adding a stripe or a bit of intarsia, even altering the shape a bit if necessary to make it the perfect project for them. But I also know a lot of people are afraid to make such...
