When We're Not Knitting, We're Reading About Knitting!

Issue 5 of By Hand explores Michigan’s Great Lakes, from the blue waters of Lake Michigan, to Mackinac Island in Lake Huron, up to the Upper Peninsula and the shores of the deep and mysterious Lake Superior.

Westknits Bestknits Number 2: Sweaters Stephen West's latest collection of 10 popular garments is filled with colorful photography representing Westknits' inspiring style.

First published in 1989 to meet the needs of the growing fashion knitting community, Vogue Knitting: The Ultimate Knitting Book instantly became a trusted and beloved resource for knitters. The second edition, released in 2002, only further cemented its place as the most trusted knitting resource. To date, more than 1 million copies across both editions have been sold. The past fifteen years have seen many exciting advances in knitting, and it is once again time for an update. The library of cast-ons, increases, decreases, and bind-offs has been expanded with new essentials. Brioche, entrelac, double knitting, and mosaic knitting—former trends that are now favorite techniques—each have an in-depth section. The design and construction chapters, formerly only covering sweaters, now also includes dozens of options for hats, mittens, socks, gloves, and more than 25 shawl shapes.
