Not all hands move the same way—and knitting shouldn’t demand that they do. In this post, I break down the three styles of continental knitting and explain why I teach all of them in my beginner classes, so students can find the approach that feels natural, comfortable, and sustainable for their hands.
Honoring Renee through creativity feels appropriate—not as decoration, but as remembrance.
Fisherman’s Rib and Half Brioche are often used interchangeably, but they aren’t quite the same stitch. This post breaks down the differences between the two, including how each is worked, how the fabric behaves, and when you might choose one over the other. If you’ve ever wondered whether knit one below, slip one yarn over, or Halbpatent all mean the same thing, this guide will help you stitch with confidence.
Celebrate the season at The Yarny Way with holiday gift ideas, December classes, a festive open studio day, teen amigurumi workshop, free patterns, and a look back at November’s community makes. Enjoy cozy crafting, local pickup, and a calm creative space during the holidays.
Shop Small Saturday means a lot to me this year. The Yarny Way was just featured in the Momentous Gift Guide in the Handcrafted category, and it reminded me of everything it took to bring this shop to life.
I just finished the “Beginner Mohair Sweater” by Tanya Eberhardt and fell in love with the process and the result. It’s top-down, seamless, light, and warm—an easy project for newer knitters and a relaxing one for seasoned makers. I used Lotus Yarns Silky Mohair from the shop, added a velvet ribbon detail, and styled it with one of my Hello Kim pins. Here’s how it turned out.
Our purple-lit Yarny Way holiday tree is up, and I’d love your help decorating it. Bring a handmade yarny ornament to hang on the tree and earn a raffle ticket for a $50 gift card. It’s a simple way to celebrate our first holiday season together and fill the shop with community-made cheer.
Catch up on Malabrigo Day highlights, our NICU blanket donation, and upcoming events like The Yarn Exchange. Plus: new LYKKE tools, local Joyous Colors yarns, and cozy winter fibers for all your gift-making dreams.
