This is an excellent way to cast on for any 1×1 ribbed project, making a beautiful rounded edge that looks like the stitches travel smoothly around the edge. Use it on necks, cuffs, bottom edges, brims, anything that begins with K1, P1 ribbing!

Do The Twist!
by Stacey on December 12, 2019
We have added an exciting new member to the Dishie family – Dishie Twist!

It’s a fun yarn to play with, and we immediately had to knit our eternally popular Dish Towel Set pattern in it!
We love the retro vibe to this version, …

We are expected to have our first snowfall of the season next week here in the Pacific Northwest. While this may not come as welcome news for some people in our neck of the woods, folks around the KP office are excited at the prospect of putting our most recent labors of love to work, keeping our heads toasty and warm during this potential snowpocalypse (we don’t get a lot of snow around here).
