Yours will be the most fashionable pooch at the park with this fun-to-make leash. Kim's Italian greyhounds, Olive (pictured in the pattern) and Tank were the inspiration. When we inquired, both dogs admitted, with all due modesty, that they feel the leash complements their sleek, athletic bodies beautifully.

This is the cowl that our dear and amazing friend Ann Schnur designed that started cowl mania at Knitch. We love the ease of making them and the joy of wearing them. And now that Ann is no longer with us, we feel hugged by her every time we cuddle up with our cowls. We miss Ann every day and thank her for leaving us this sweet treasure.

With its elegant drape and thoughtful cable and rib detail, Nell's Rowan Bamboo Tape tank, worn here by Michele, can dress up or down. Alone with jeans or a skirt, it's perfect for a spring day. Worn with a suit, it becomes a sophisticated accent.

This fabulous shrug, designed by Nell, inspires that "must-have-it-now!" feeling. As luck would have it, Big Wool on size 13 needles knits up super fast. It'll be ready to show off in no time! Many of our "regulars" in the shop have whipped this up and they all look splendid -- whether they are tiny like our model June, or more rounded, like many of the rest of us.

Stay warm and cozy with Nell's super soft cabled hat and wristies. Perfect for those just getting started with cables as there are just enough of the twisted wonders to make an impression; not so many that they will drive you crazy! Model Alex seems to find them helpful for thinking things over.

A little Artyarns Cashmere Sock yarn can go a long way toward making you feel warm, elegant and cozy. Stephanie came up with this adorable idea -- a headband that's wide at the top and tapers down to a narrower length along the bottom, making it super comfortable. As if cashmere could be any more comfortable . . . well, now it is!

Rowan's chunky yarns and Kid Silk Haze combine to wrap you in the coziest, fuzziest softness. The two together create a cashmere-like feel. So comfortable, you may be tempted to sleep in it and there's no reason you shouldn't! The raglan sleeve is a flattering detail of this design, as is the semi-standup collar. Wear it open or closed with a shawl pin or brooch. However you wear it, you'll look -- and feel -- scrumptious.

Nell worked her magic on this fetching sweater that can be enjoyed all year long, but especially loves coming out in the spring and summer. The lace work adds a girly touch that we just love. Our model, Lois, obviously loves it too!

This deliciously detailed sweater can be worn backwards or forwards. Stephanie is wearing it "backwards" here. It's gorgeous either way.

Gift-wrap yourself (or your friends -- a great gift!) in this shiny, fun, easy and quick-to-make belt. You can tie it, as shown, or hold it closed with a shawl closure or a vintage brooch.

Nell's design takes into account the natural 20% shrinkage that is characteristic of Rowan's Denim. Like your favorite jeans, this comfy piece will also fade a bit over time with washing. This one has quickly become a favorite staple of our wardrobes.

Your natural sparkle is only amped up when you put on this easy to wear, fun to make tank top. Caitlin, our model, felt ready to celebrate the moment she put it on. This has been a Knitch favorite since the very beginning.

Representin' the men of Knitch, Donny has come up with this fabulous beanie that's snug and warm and has some clever stitchwork going on in the crown. Our model, Stuart, was loath to take it off, as you can see by his expression, despite the warmth on the day we shot the picture!

If making this with silk or cotton, or other yarns less pliable than the wool and mohair blend of Cocoon, you will want to begin the sleeve increases 1" sooner and make the entire sleeve 1" deeper. This will allow for more range of motion when wearing the sweater. Buy an extra skein or two.

The perfect transitional piece, worn here by Lois Wolf, takes you through the seasons in comfort. Wear it with a long sleeved shirt beneath to ward off a chill or with a tank top when it's more warm than cool. However you choose to wear it, brace yourself for compliments.

Beautiful drape and mottled color are hallmarks of Handmaiden's 65% silk, 35% linen Flaxen yarn. In this exclusive Knitch Pattern by Nell Ziroli, the exquisite yarn is shown to its ultimate advantage in a delightful lace pattern.

What a precious way to mark such an important anniversary and start a new tradition. You can keep adding candles in an array of colors through several birthdays!

Sari, daughter of Annie and sister of Elena, found this hat delicious! Luckily our camera has a fast lens so we were able to show you the hat in something other than a happy blur.

A very quick knit that packs style and warmth in a hurry. Perfect for any last minute treats you might want to bestow on a loved one.

Just in case you're not familiar with the term "Tink", it's "Knit" backwards. Tinking is sometimes necessary when we make mistakes in our knitting. We'll leave it to you to decide what the relationship is between a good martini and the need to tink.

Our model, Drue Hudson, for the record, is of legal drinking -- and tinking -- age. (But you're never too young to tink!)

Our Ladder Scarf ranks among our most popular. A beginner can do it easily and impress the wool right off a sheep's back! Have fun experimenting with various combinations -- the pizaaz is in the texture contrast.

This breezy top has wonderful eyelet detailing that sets it apart. It's the perfect addition to your spring/summer wardrobe. Ask us about our Louet Euroflax Linen cones. They are not on our web site yet, but we'll be happy to help you find the perfect color for your project.

Enjoy this oversized comfy pullover in sizes small, medium and large. A big collar and a big cable set it apart from the humdrum.

Nell designed this bag for her Learn to Knit class so her students could have the satisfaction of coming out the other end with something a little more challenging than a scarf. Nothing against scarves, mind you -- we adore scarves! -- but it's very confidence building to realize that with the basic skills, you can create all sorts of fun things. This bag has been wildly popular for beginners and more seasoned knitters as well.

Araucania Ulmo lends itself so perfectly to this confection of a skirt with its instant addition of frisky color to the jubilant ruffles. It's an easy knit, one of those mostly mindless projects that can keep you going through movie marathons with just the occasional glance to check your progress. And the end result is simply adorable. As is our somewhat reluctant, but nevertheless enchanting model, Elena.

Nell's comfortable design makes this fine for any season. We love it when it's chilly outside or when it's hot and sticky outside . . . and chilly inside in the air-conditioning. Elegant and flowing, it loves to go casual, as it does here on June, our model, or dressed up to complete an evening outfit. It's easy to knit and you'll find yourself reaching for it time after time.

Our Piedmont Park Hoodie is the versatile result of inspiration brought on by the month of March in Atlanta. Nell has conjured a confection in tweed that can adjust to all the weather changes we expect this time of the year -- a hood if it's windy, a stand-up collar to ward off a chill, a button closure that can be thrown open to welcome warm, balmy air currents, short sleeves that make it perfect for layering. We feel certain this sweater will be equally at home in a multitude of latitudes and longitudes as it is here (Lat 33, Long 84) on a bright, sunny (or cloudy, blustery) spring day in our city's magnificent Piedmont Park.

Qiviuk, the inner down of the Canadian Arctic Muskox, would be difficult to find grazing the fields in the southeastern United States. We are the first to admit it. But because this fiber is of such exceptional quality, noticeably softer and lighter than cashmere, and 8 times warmer than wool, we think it's worth going to the ends of the earth to find it. We did that and are thrilled to offer it to you without the hassle. We are furthermore thrilled that Nell has come up with such a delightful, versatile pattern so worthy of Qiviuk. This fluff of a mobius strip can be worn as a drape, a wrap, a hood or a cowl and possibly more. We'll leave that to your ingenuity!

We love this becoming hat that Stephanie dreamed up. It can be plopped to one side or another, exposing an ear or not. It looks adorable, as you can see, with Marissa's short hair. We've seen it on ladies of longer tresses too and it's just as splendid.

This sweater will carry you breezily through three seasons of the year. Lois, our model, loves wearing it with jeans, and it looks smashing with a skirt or dress as well. The open detailing along the raglan seam adds a lacey, feminine touch.

When this sweater first went from Nell’s needles onto display in the shop, it was met with many audible sounds of delight. It's as yummy to wear as it is delicious to behold. We don't know whether it's the wildly becoming neckline or the garter stitch sleeve detailing that makes this sweater irresistible. All we know is it’s fabulous!

A wonderful way to show off the amazing colors of Noro Taiyo, an exquisite lighter weight yarn.

A perfect pattern for making a simple worsted cap. We suggest it often for Chemo Caps -- for adults or children -- as it is easy to make and has room for imaginative variation, as you wish. Be sure to choose an extra soft yarn if it's a Chemo Cap you're making.
