Coming up on the Planet Purl Party Line...
|
"Knitting at Home"
with Leanna Prouse
Wednesday, October 20th at 8 p.m. (eastern)
Sign up for live event 
|
We love home decor knitting projects for 3 reasons: they always fit no matter how much weight you gain or lose, they're great gifts since fit doesn't matter, and you can still use them if you move from Minnesota to Florida. We love Ella Rae patterns for only 1 reason: they're beautiful! Join us Wednesday, October 20th at 8 p.m. (EDT) when Ella Rae designer Leanne Prouse joins us live on the Party Line to talk about her new book, Knitting at Home and to answer your questions about knit-ifying your own castle.

"Cowl Girls"
with Cathy Carron
Wednesday, October 27th at 12 p.m. (eastern)
Sign up for live event
|
If you love Cathy Carron's hat designs (and who doesn't!) you're gonna go crazy for the 41 designs in her new book Cowl Girls. Gorgeous cowls, gaiters, ponchettes, collars and donuts to bridge that chilly gap between your ears and coat collar, we want to knit them all. And guess what? Cathy's coming to Planet Purl live on Wednesday, October 27th at 12p.m. (EDT) to talk about cowls, hats, inspiration, and all things knitting. Be there, or risk a cold neck and ears this winter!

Knitter's Travel Blog: Florence, Italy
|
We wanted to send our well-wishes to our friends on the Vogue Knitting "Italia!" tour who begin their Italian fiber experience October 23. We will be dreaming of all the amazing food, wine and fashion you will be taking in with designer Nicky Epstein and VK's Carla Scott. And we thought it fun and fitting to revisit the travel blog she shared with us last year on her Knitting in Tuscany journey. Enjoy learning about the inspiration for her designs and her favorite fiber stops and restaurants in Florence, Italy.
Visit the
Travel Blog: Florence, Italy with Nicky Epstein for lots of info, photos and fun!
