Diagonal or bias knitting is one of the very simplest knitting techniques to learn, easy to remember and is adaptable to many stitch motifs, including lace.

One of the many aspects of lace, (besides its beauty) is an aura of complexity and difficulty. Most knitters believe that lace shouldn't be attempted until you are an intermediate knitter or expert.  That's just not so.  Lace projects can be involved and intricate, but those intimidating projects are just a small portion of what can be done.  The majority of stitches and projects are easy to understand and achieve.  Better still some really beautiful lace stitch patterns are easy to remember too, ensuring a very satisfying knit and beautiful end result.

Brioche knitting projects popular as they are today have actually been knitted since the 1800's. Unlike traditional knitting projects, the Brioche process will yield a fabric that is light and fluffy, with some density, having the look of a double knitted fabric. If worked in more than one color it will produce a project that is totally reversible and strikingly unique.

The look of woven makes Tejido an interesting to knit project. Designe by Sarah Solomon, Tejido uses the Swedish Weave pattern to achieve the woven look. You'll use one skein each of kettle dyed Manos Fino and Alegria yarns. 

From Fairmount Fibers, one skein of space-dyed Manos Alegria Yarn is all you need to create this mitered shadow shawl. You knit rows of knit and purl stitches accented by eyelets for the increases. This easy to make project knits up surprisingly fast.

One skein of kettle dyed Manos Alegria yarn is all you need to create a beautiful textured scarf. This free pattern was designed by Sarah Solomon mades the most of the variegated yarn.

I'm crazy about "fob" markers. You know what I mean, those markers that have the cool dangles.  I can't resist collecting them, and I use then almost all the time. They do have a downside though. I get them caught or trapped in my knitting from time to time. I can untangle my marker each time, but it slows me down. So here's how to keep it from happening in the first place.

One ball of Ambiente yarn is all you need to fall in love with this fiber! It's bouncy, soft, and self striping. The hardest part of knitting this cowl will be choosing a color! The cowl is knitted in the round with ribbed edges to keep it from rolling.
