Hello Knitters! Here at Knitty McPurly, we believe that you should always feel pretty. And what better way to gee up a regular day outfit than a pretty (and functional) necklace?  I am a homeschooling mom and I still wear a necklace almost every day.

Hello Fellow Makers! The Signature Necklace was born out of the desire for a trendy necklace on a tight budget.

Sometimes called (ok,...

Hey, folks! I thought I would work up a little photo tutorial on how to attach the pockets to my Gigi and Little Gigi cardigans. (This also works for the Potomac cardigan and Potomac worsted!) But, this tutorial would really work anytime you are attaching a knitted pocket to a knitted object. I hope you find it helpful! If you prefer video tutorials, this one from Garnstudio uses the same techniques, but with a stockinette pocket instead of reverse stockinette.  Good luck, and leave a comment if  you have any questions/comments! This is a rustic, simple sweater, and I liked the way the sewn on pocket...
