Charity Block #9: Granite Stitch

Posted on May 11, 2018July 25, 2018by Eliza Prokopovits

I’ve liked the look of the granite stitch ever since I first saw it on Pinterest, but I like it even more now. I knit this block as another swatch to see if it would work for a future design. It won’t work for the one I had in mind, but I love how simple […]

Charity Block #8: Ravenclaw Stripes

Posted on April 12, 2018July 25, 2018by Eliza Prokopovits

I finally got around to the last of the Hogwarts house blocks: Ravenclaw! (I’m a Ravenclaw, and my favorite color is blue, so I was looking forward to this one.) I wanted to do broad rugby-type stripes, but with a 9-inch long block, there’s not a lot of room to work with, so the stripes […]

All-Season Blanket Shrug

Posted on March 29, 2018July 25, 2018by Eliza Prokopovits

I hate bandwagons. If something is trending, I stay away. I don’t consider myself a non-conformist, necessarily, I just avoid doing things simply because they’re popular. (I suppose that’s a very non-conformist thing to say, though, isn’t it?)  This applies to my knitting too. I was knitting long before it became a cool thing to […]

Charity Block #7: Knotted Openwork

Posted on February 24, 2018July 24, 2018by Eliza Prokopovits

One of the reasons I like knitting blocks for Warm Up America is that about halfway through my big projects I get bored or frustrated and need a break, and these blocks are just the right size to knit quickly before going back to it. Another reason, though, is that sometimes I want to try […]

Munchkin’s Toddler Socks

Posted on February 2, 2018July 25, 2018by Eliza Prokopovits

Last year I knit a pair of winter socks for Munchkin’s tiny little baby feet. This year my toddler-Munchkin is running around with much bigger feet. He doesn’t need thick socks to keep his feet warm in the baby swing so much, but he does need them to help him keep his winter boots on. […]

Finnley Hat

Posted on December 19, 2017July 25, 2018by Eliza Prokopovits

Years ago I was in a yarn shop near Lancaster, PA, and I saw an intricate Fair Isle hat knit with two colors of ombre yarn. The colors shifted and changed throughout the hat beautifully and played against each other in such interesting ways. I couldn’t help thinking (and I still do, in a way) […]

Sunset Shawl

Posted on December 2, 2017July 25, 2018by Eliza Prokopovits

I last saw my grandmother on Thanksgiving a few years ago, before we had kids. We drove eight hours into a snowstorm (it dumped about a foot of snow on the east coast the day before Thanksgiving) so that we could be there in time to have Thanksgiving dinner at the nursing home. It was […]

Mossy Cable Christmas Stockings

Posted on November 18, 2017October 6, 2018by Eliza Prokopovits

“The stockings were hung by the chimney with care…”   Okay, to be honest, we don’t really have a chimney. We’ve hung our stockings beside a door frame and across the top of our french doors, depending on which room we’ve put the Christmas tree in. But there’s something nice about having a set of […]

Eva Scarf

Posted on October 14, 2017July 24, 2018by Eliza Prokopovits

Show of hands: whose favorite season is fall?   *raises hand*   I love fall. To be fair, I just love living in a place with four distinct seasons—I love each snowfall, I love watching the flowers come out in the spring, I love the sunny days and even the thunderstorms of summer. But I […]

Baby Bear Hat

Posted on September 25, 2017July 24, 2018by Eliza Prokopovits

Is there anything cuter than a baby in a bear hat? Maybe, but I’m not convinced. We have a couple new babies on the way among our friends and family, and not all of them will need handmade blankets. (When the baby’s grandmother, great-grandmother, aunts, and great-aunts all knit, you can imagine how well stocked […]
