Knit a luxurious and colorful scarf hand dyed Schoppel Lace Ball 100 yarn.

Our blog has been really active this summer which means knitters have the needles clacking on hot summer days! Where do you like to knit in summer? Here's a roundup of our most popular knitting blog posts this season.

Today my daughter and I dyed yarn with Kool-Aid. It was a really enjoyable experience. Since I've never hand dyed yarn before, I was a bit anxious with the whole experience. Concerns I had were: Is it going to be messy? Do I have the right material? Will all the colors mix together and make the yarn look like mud? Did I buy enough Kool-Aid to do this correctly? Will I screw this up and ruin some very nice yarn?

Pick up your needles and cast on a pair of colorful socks. This pattern uses just one skein of Berroco Sox yarn. The Fair Isle self-striping yarn does all the colorwork for you!

I knit almost everywhere, in the car (not driving of course), at the dentist, garage, etc. Some things I carry in my knitting bag, you might not expect to be there. These are my "on the go" knitting must-haves items.

Top down knitting projects are some of my favorites.  They are pretty much seamless except for a small area where the sleeve stitches are picked up on the underside.  Picking up and joining the sleeves can sometimes leaves a pesky gap.  When I get that gap, here's the easy way I found to close it.
