Wool and The Gang Studio NYC
(13 November 2009) - photos by James Ryang Wool and The Gang, the irreverently fashionable knitting brand, opens up their first-ever street-side location in NYC's SoHo today. Peddling their clever ready-to-knit kits, as well as skeins of Peruvian threads, the yarn-obsessed group spreads their love of all things knitted in a stylishly welcoming studio. With the motto, "Instead of simply wearing it, make it as well," they encourage new...

Blankoat Giveaway
(06 April 2009) - Seemingly only a couch-lazing accessory, Blankoat is actually a fully functional, extremely soft coat perfect for the aforementioned activity, as well as for keeping warm during the winter months. Designed with a generous collar that drapes dramatically and can be worn as a hood (for that sexy Druid look), it's a thoughtfully and beautifully executed version of the concept. Comprised of wool from Icelandic...

Swing Skirt
(13 January 2009) - by Ariston Anderson While waiting for a train, hanging in a park or simply wanting to take a playful break throughout the day, Rachel Griffin's hand-knotted swing skirt is an outfit that becomes an insta-swing anywhere, anytime. All that's needed is something sturdy to anchor the ropes and a love for keeping life interesting. We were a bit skeptical on how functional this swing could...

Rödel Latin America
(22 December 2008) - Helen Rödel is positively masterful at knitwear. The crocheted dresses made under her signature Rödel Latin America line are carefully constructed by hand, with no help or finishes done by a sewing machine whatsoever. This obvious dedication to quality that is only surpassed by the design of the dresses themselves is what makes her one of the most promising underground designers in Brazil I've...

Sfera Kid's Poncho
(02 December 2008) - We wanted to add this to our 2008 gift guide but regrettably even with the help of Google Translate we still couldn't figure out how to purchase this adorable kiddy poncho. (We're adding "learn Japanese" to the CH 2009 New Years Resolutions). Made by design group Sfera and handwoven in Finland, this is by the far the cuddliest little poncho we've seen made completely...

Sandra Backlund: Sculptural Knits SS09
(24 November 2008) - The most astonishing collection we saw at London Fashion Week back in September was "Pool Position" by Swedish designer Sandra Backlund. Since then we've been eagerly awaiting some images of these radically sculptural knits to share with you. Now these photographs by John Scarisbrick have arrived we are reminded of the fantastical structures that stopped us in our tracks a few months ago. Backlund...

Best of the Brooklyn Flea: Keep It Moving Knit Plants
(12 May 2008) - A small booth headed up by a woman as nice as her creations are clever, Keep It Moving Design sells knit plants. Each hand-knit specimen comes in a pot with its own name. Most are flexible due to wire armature and some even have moss. She has some great vintage-like jewelry pieces and some embroidered men's ties too. All depends on what she's been...

Making Stuff for Kids
(18 January 2008) - A craft book for children of the "craft revolution," "Making Stuff Kids" from Black Dog Publishing celebrates crafting as a great way to improve skills such as imagination, dexterity and problem-solving, as well as the increased opportunity for family time that arises when children and parents step away from their computers and video games and make something together. Like the craft book for adults...

After School Art
(19 September 2006) - An innocent lamp pole on a quiet street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn was the latest bit of urban architecture to get "knitta'd" with it's own knitted accessory by Knitta Please. The slightly subversive public installation is part of a group show kicking off back-to-school season called "After School Art" this coming Thursday, 21 September 2006 and running through 17 October 2006.

Theresa Honeywell Knit Motorcycle
(24 April 2006) - Apparently, everything that can be knitted will be. Currently on display at the Georgia Museum of Art, this motorcycle and several other manly items were knitted by artist Theresa Honeywell. More examples of this blatant yet wonderful contrast (including knitted tattoos) can be seen on Extreme Craft's Flickr set. via MAKE: Blog via Extreme Craft ...

Knitted Digestive System
(16 February 2006) - Our fascination with knitting things continues to grow, this time fueled by these photos of a knitted digestive system. Seemingly proportionate, you can see everything from the tongue (left) to the anus (right). Created by Matie Trewe of Eugene, OR, there's even a pattern you can follow to make one yourself. via swissmiss Other knitted things: Knitta Please, Ruth Marshall, The Knitting Machine...

Knitta Please
(05 January 2006) - Taggers of a different sort, AKrylik and PolyCotN leave their mark by attaching knitted fragments to poles, antennas, trees and anything else they can find. These two Houston area knitters have kids and jobs and a lot of chutzpah. They even have a page on My Space. Keep it up ladies. Thanks to Houston reader Magda for the tip....
