I brought my edging pattern in today because I'm going to work on my sweater at lunch. The edging is from "A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns" by Barbara Walker.

I'm putting an edging on my circle sweater right now. It's a strange task. I always feel a bit off when I'm doing finishing work like this.

 This show is about reverse-engineering (with permission) someone else's cute skirt for a little girl.

The fabric was gorgeous. My mom had spotted it in an out-of-town fabric store, but I needed more. And wouldn’t you know it, a clerk said she couldn’t get more.

This week Rhea shows a mirror she decorated. Joyce shares a digital scrapbook page. Lastly, Lara has a preview of this week's Math4Knitters Crafty Living pattern, a skirt for a little girl.

This isn't until June, but mark your calendars!

This is the pattern for the bunny I promised in Math4Knitters Crafty Living, Show 12.

As much as I love visual art, it has never been my forte.

As soon as I wrote my post yesterday, another weekend event hit my desk.

When Karynn Johnson steps onto the dance floor at her senior prom, she won’t have to worry that any of her classmates will be wearing the same dress.

I have a friend whose youngest daughter must have earrings to celebrate a holiday – holiday-themed earrings, mind you.It was with her in mind that I came up with the idea for this column.

 This week's show is all about double knitting and includes an interview with Alasdair Post-Quinn and a pattern for fingers for your Knucks.

It's almost Spring, at least officially, so this Friday Joyce is sharing a daffodil themed afghan; Rhea a quick, simple idea for party favors; and a preview of Sunday's Math4Knitters.

I know Chicago has a huge and interesting knitting culture. Undoubtedly, the many, many shops there help it thrive and grow.

Michaels recently introduced a crop night to its store events and other places offer similar opportunities

A website that's new to me.

A new feature for Mondays - something to do in the week ahead.

Babies and toddlers are fun to make clothes for because everything is done in minisizes.I crocheted a hat and skirt set for the daughter of a friend a couple of years ago.

 I may have over thought this week's pattern. I wanted to make a raglan-shaped baby's cardigan in garter stitch, knit from the center-left-front to the center-right-front. Sounds easy, right?

This week we have a baby blanket Joyce made a couple years ago, a braided fabric cord made by Rhea and a sneak at Sunday's Math4Knitters podcast.

The bracelet giveaway is over. Congratulations to Brianne Suelzer, the winner. Thanks to all who entered. We hope to do more giveaways in the future.

Shipshewana offers plenty of opportunities for quilters and sewers.

Ruth Ann Shively sent us a message about quilling after reading the Feb. 14 column on the subject.

I'm not crazy about sewing on buttons, either. Frankly, there are times that an otherwise complete garment languishes for months in my linen closet, because it has no buttons.

I HATE darning in ends. There, I said it. I still have to do it, though.

You can win this bracelet to complete your St. Patrick's day outfit, or give to someone.

This is a peek into my design/idea process.

 This show is about picking up stitches and making button bands. Also, an interview with Lana Holden.

St. Patrick’s Day is March 17, and it got me thinking. I don’t really have a lot of green to wear in honor of the holiday, but I can buy green beads.

We're presenting you with some of our work and a tease to Sunday's Math4Knitters podcast

Julie Anderson of Bead Source in Covington Plaza has sent out her email newsletter letting customers know that she will be closed all day Monday, March 8. It's not a holiday.
