Growing up, my beloved grandmother always knit or crocheted at least two afghans for her grandkids. One was given to us right after we were born (mine was a Raggedy Ann & Andy blanket), the other was given when we were 18 and was a series of squares, some plain, some with our favorite colors, some with pictures of things we loved (cats and books features heavily on mine – not much has changed). With that in mind, we have put together a collection with a similar theme – the Milestones and Memories collection.

You’re a new knitter and you decide you want to make a hat. Maybe you’ve heard of Ravelry, so you search for “hat” and find a mere. . .65,033 results. That’s not overwhelming at all. The whole idea behind the Knits for Everybody series is to give people patterns for just that problem. The patterns are meant to be the simplest, most basic version of the simplest, most basic garments, with sizes from newborn to men’s XXL and instructions in both of the most common yarn weights, Worsted and Fingering.
With Knits for Everybody Too, we’ve revisited the original concept to expand the selection.

Everyone loves a colorful yarn, and we’ve always been particularly proud of our gorgeous sock yarn, Hawthorne. Inspired by the crush we all have on the newest addition to the Knit Picks lineup, Hawthorne Tonal, we thought we’d take some time to explore hand painted yarn, from both technical and aesthetic points of view

Happy August! We’re in the midst of heat wave here in the Pacific Northwest (100 degrees! for 4 days!) so I plan on taking my knitting and hiding in an air conditioned cave for awhile. My current project is in my favorite yarn Hawthorne so what great timing for our new calendar – featuring many of our newest colors in Hawthorne!
I adore Hawthorne.
I’ve worked with all of the lines (Multi, Kettle, Speckle, and our new Tonal) and I just love all of the finished projects. Since I’ve been using it in so many projects, I thought I’d reshare some of tips & tricks for working with what can be a challenging yarn to some people – Hawthorne Multi. While Tonal, Kettle, and Speckle will look great in most patterns, the colorful Multi can be an adventure to find the perfect project.
