Summer Knitting Patterns: Let’s Knit Up Some Sun!
I knit in public all the time. I take my knitting everywhere—what else am I supposed to do in the dentist’s waiting room? They only have Car & Driver and Highlights Magazine, and after I do the picture search, I pull out my knitting. (Who’s with me on still loving the picture search in Highlights?) Anyway … The weather is warming, but that won’t stop me from carting my knitting around.

Knitting the Anna Cowl
I was smitten from the moment the Anna Cowl arrived at Interweave HQ. I wore it around the office constantly and it was the only sample from the new knit.wear I took to TNNA as an issue preview (separation anxiety). The large, voluptuous, lace cowl can be styled so many different ways and basically serves as an adult version of a security blanket. As the months crept on I had to face a harsh reality: I would eventually have to send the Anna Cowl back to Sarah Wilson, the designer of my beloved new accessory. Read more!

Fresh Spring Knitting Patterns!
Things at Interweave Knits are so busy and crazy right now, and I have to admit that I love that. We have some exciting things in the works, and in the meantime there are new spring knitting patterns in the Interweave store for individual sale. Sunday marked the official beginning of spring, though just a few days in we got an actual blizzard here in Fort Collins. Happy spring, Colorado!

Free Knit Cowl Pattern, and a Sweepstakes!
A bunch of us at Interweave are celebrating National Craft Month with a blog hop. For my entry in the hop, I wanted to give you a free pattern, so I looked back on the designs I’ve done over the past few months, and I remembered a knit cowl pattern that I “designedâ€; it was so simple, I can hardly call it a design with a strait face! Here’s the story of how my Quickie Seed-Stitch Knit Cowl pattern came about. Read more!
