Knit is a medium that crosses all generations and is often learnt from
the lap of mothers and grandmothers who teach their children and
grandchildren the basic technique and introduce them to knitting.

Nothing is more relaxing than the sound of ocean waves or for knitters,
getting lost in the hypnotic rhythm of a stitch pattern. These are the
sweaters you love to make and wear, in the calming colors of the sea.

patterns surfaces in this flamestitched cropped cardigan. Deep ribbing
accents the waist. Knit it in Karabella Yarns' "Zodiac"
There's something innately graceful about a boat-neck pullover-
especially when it's rippled with deep ribs and pretty eyelet and cable
panels a la Norah Gaughan's body-skimmer stitched in Dale of Norways's
"Svale".
Norah Gaughan's wrap-front hoodie captures the mystery of the big blue
with lacy cabled borders and a cropped cut. It's knit in Trendsetter
Yarns' "Spiral".
Cool stitch combinations of easy lace shape up Mari Lynn Patrick's
figure-loving tunic, worked in "Mandarin" from Sandnes/Norwegian Spirit.
The bodice is knit side to side; eyelet bands separate stitch
sections.
Put your needles to work on this sheer, sexy wrap and you'll be
knitting a blue streak. The mesh pattern works up fast in sumptuous silk
"Temptation" from Classic Elite Yarns.
A pool-blue hue and rows of swirling, slimming cables mesmerize on
Kathy Zimmerman's slim-fitting shell. The yarn is cool cotton
"Butterfly 10 Ply" from S.R. Kertzer, Ltd.
