After a long search, and many many bids my husband and I finally bought our very first house! Coincidentally the Knit Picks Tranquility home collection came out the same month we bought our first home. I was so excited because this collection has the perfect patterns to add a touch of style and comfort to our new home! These patterns would also make great house warming gifts if you know of anyone who recently bought a new home. Just be warned – you might want to keep them all for yourself! Here are a few patterns I’m thinking about making for my new abode. Diamondbacked Pillow The chic Diamondbacked Pillow has the perfect geometric colorwork pattern to give my living room or bedroom some ... |

Spring is well and truly underway for the Knit Picks crew, and with it comes a turning of the knitting year. In other words, it's sock season again! One of our new collections is a celebration of this time, so join us for my review of Splendid Soles, our newest sock pattern book. After that resident sock fanatic Stacey is joined by Hannah to delve into (and argue about) just what is so appealing about sock knitting. |

The newest member of our alliterative sock collections is the lovely Splendid Soles! Joining Artful Arches and Toasty Toes, Splendid Soles is gorgeous collection featuring classic cable, delicate lace and fun textures. As the resident Knit Picks Sock Knitter, I'm in love with this collection and awed by the creativity of the amazing designers included. My needles are itching for so many of these patterns and I'm feeling a case of startitis coming on. |

“It’s gonna–be–May Oh, yeah ♫” – Justin Timberlake Ok. Those may not be the ACTUAL lyrics, but you catch my drift. It’s freakin’ MAY people!! We’re ready to sit in the sunshine, sip some iced tea, and make our summer project plans. Oh, and maybe sneak a road trip or two into the mix. What better project to take on the road than something small & compact, like a pair of fun textured socks? If you’re on the hunt for fresh new sock patterns, you’ll want to take a gander at one of our two newest collections, Splendid Soles. Splendid Soles Fontana Knee High Socks – knit in Stroll Tweed While not the smallest project in the collection, nor the most warmweather friendly, I couldn’t help but to highlight my favorite pattern ... |

“If you wear things you adore, you just look better” – Margherita Missoni Revel in the details of Renew, our latest collection of simple + sweet spring sweaters and tops! Everywhere I look, daffodils are displaying themselves proudly against the backdrop of dark and stormy skies. Cherry blossoms adorn the path along the riverbank in downtown PDX, and the air smells sweetly of freshly opened buds. It’s Spring, and it is glorious! While I live for the coziness of a good ole chunky oversized sweater, there’s nothing quite like feeling the returning warmth of the sun directly on my skin. The garments of Renew are similar to what I envision when I try to conceptualize my dream Spring wardrobe. Below are some of my very favorite pieces ... |

“Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party!’ “ Robin Williams Yesterday was the first official day of spring (cue the reverie) and we are SO ready for all the April showers, May flowers, and spring knits to come! With the weight of winter behind us, we’re taking a cue from Mother Nature and shedding our figurative (and literal) layers and shifting towards brighter color palettes, lightweight tops, and comforting wear-anywhere wraps. |

Early February can be a mixed bag, depending on where you reside in the world. Still technically winter, the first signs of spring (yay!) are beginning to show themselves, and that has us bubbling over with inspiration. Come along with me as I highlight our latest pattern collections and say ‘hello’ to the return of some new and improved yarn lines. |
