Every knitter has their own path to take and follow. On today’s episode of the Knit Picks Podcast, we’re sharing a special interview.

New Colorways for Popular Knitting Patterns
by on February 9, 2021

Colorwork can seem like a daunting skill to master, but there is something about a blend of colors in one project that instantly makes me want to cast on! I have tackled my fears this year and am almost complete with my first colorwork sweater.

Knit Picks Podcast Episode 336 – Yarn 101 Live
by on January 28, 2021

One of our favorite things to talk about in the Knit Picks Office is yarn.
