We don't know any other book that takes you from start to finish in your design process as Shirley Paden's book, "Knitwear Design Workshop". Enjoy this short video of the work that went in to this book and all the places she has gone to share her knowledge. We were lucky enough to be one of the first on her tour, just at the time Knitting Central was passing the torch to Westport Yarns. Enjoy- http://youtu.be/C-UE4EJKXJ8

Best day!! Knitting together in front of the fire. He has been on a knitting hiatus for 2 years... How many of you were indoors knitting today??

I have to think this is not very comfortable...

Так выглядел баран, сбежавший с фермы и 6 лет скитавшийся по горам (после состригли 27 кг шерсти!)

Was so inspired by Jill Draper Makes Stuff's booth this weekend that I came home, grabbed some of her Windham and started this baby, top down sweater. The stitches work up so nicely - crisp and consistent. I am really enjoying working with this yarn.

Oops- never showed you the Kelbourne Woolens, Road to China sweater I designed that goes with the hat. Fit too perfection!

A refrigerator of all knitted foods-amazing!! At VK Vogue Knitting Live. One day left. Don't miss it. The knitted exhibitions are unbelievable

Had some extra Kelbourne Woolens, Road to China yarn after I finished the sweater. Made a hat to match the sweater. He LOVES the sweater! Said it is so soft and warm, all he needs is a T-shirt, sweater and a jacket and he is super warm, even in the Montana cold. I love the feel of this yarn in my hands. http://www.knittingcentral.com/collections/the-fiber-co/products/roadtochina

To create a crisp, perfectly shaped Blackberry Stitch, I position the yarn for the K3 part of the stitch (move yarn to back) before I lift the needle off, completing the P3tog. The result is a nice, consistently shaped berry.
Full pattern will be in my new "Baby Blanket" design...

Just found an old photo of this sweater I made for someone years ago. Ahhh- the patience I had. I remember enjoying knitting this sweater so much - on size #0 and 1's! Do you knit different things than you used to??
