The right long-sleeved garment can be a beloved summer staple! Our featured #knittingpattern this week is the Marmoset Pullover, designed by Danae Smith @otter_craft for Interweave Knits Summer 2020. Take a closer look in our stories today, and find the issue at your LYS, on local newsstands, or online at https://interweave.com/knitting. #interweaveknits⠀ ⠀ The Marmoset Pullover has a repeating lace motif on the upper front and back and on the open, airy sleeves. Worked in fingering-weight yarn at a larger gauge, this flowing, luxuriously soft sweater is comfy, yet classy. The sample uses @cascadeyarns Heritage Solids, a machine-washable merino/nylon blend that's great for fitted garments, in the Mustard colorway. It comes in so many colors that we guarantee you'll have a hard time choosing. You could even play with working the lace in a different color! #cascadeheritagesolids⠀ ⠀ Give Danae some love for this gorgeous garment in the comments!

For Interweave Crochet Spring 2020, we revived five tried-and-true favorites from past issues with new yarns and a fresh look. Swipe to see three of them: one bag and two luxurious wraps. Find the issue in print and digital editions at https://interweave.com/crochet! #interweavecrochet⠀ ⠀ Larger Than Life Bag | Cecily Keim @cecilykeim | @omega Sinfonia, distributed by Creative Yarn Source | This colorful tote is a perfect example of the little things that can be tweaked in a project. This bag first appeared in the Spring 2007 issue in a DK-weight Merino yarn; mercerized cotton breathes new life into this updated design.⠀ ⠀ River Walk Shawl | Sharon Falkner | @ancientartsfibrecrafts Indulgence | An undulating pattern mesh stitches floats across the fabric of this stole like oversized bubbles. Originally made in a 100% silk laceweight yarn for the Summer 2011 issue, the rework features a silk/linen blend to further enhance the drape and character.⠀ ⠀ Alpine Frost Scarf | Amy O'Neill Houck @alaskatarian | @manosdeluruguayyarns Fino, distributed by Fairmount Fibers | What a difference a multicolored yarn can make! This scarf first appeared in a solid color in our Winter 2008 issue. The blend of Merino and silk brings life to the delicate lace pattern. And the best part? The lace is just a one-row repeat.⠀ ⠀ Which of these three is your favorite? Let us know and give these designers some love!

Our theme for the month of June is lace, and we have a new #iwknitalong to celebrate featuring the Phyllotaxis Hat by Marie Godsey. W're kicking off the knitalong on Facebook and Instagram starting Monday June 1, 2020, and you can download the pattern at https://bit.ly/PhyllotaxisHat-KAL or through the link in the KnitAlong story highlight on our profile. Be sure to jump in on social media with #phyllotaxiskal this weekend as you comb your stash for yarn! #freeknitalong⠀ ⠀ Several members of the Interweave family, from social media managers (hi!) to magazine editors are participating! We'll be back on Monday to let you know what yarns we've selected, whether ordered or scrounged from stash, and we'll share our progress, tips, and definitely some laughs along the way. #weareinterweave⠀ ⠀ The Phyllotaxis Hat was originally published in #interweaveknits Summer 2015. The open leaf lace and slightly elongated shape give the Phyllotaxis Hat just enough slouch for style, without reaching beret status. Find a DK-weight yarn in your stash (you'll need about 200 yards) and get ready to join in! The original sample used @jadesapphirecashmere in the Dinosaur Dawn colorway. Because it uses such little yardage, it's the perfect project for a luxury skein you've been saving!⠀ ⠀ We will be keeping our craft close and shouting out this Interweave Knitalong all month! #keepyourcraftclose #creativeboost⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ What will your Phyllotaxis Hat look like? We cannot wait to see!

This month on Fiber Nation podcast: The Hand-Knit Socks that Marched to War! Published today in honor of Memorial Day, this episode explores the millions of socks, hats, and other items knit by civilians for the troops. Listen and subscribe on your podcast platform of choice, and find the show notes at https://interweave.com/fiber-nation — or through the link in our stories today. #fibernationpodcast #memorialday⠀ ⠀ In the trenches of Belgium and France, the most important item in a soldier’s kit—right up there with a rifle and gas mask—was a pair of hand-knit, woolen socks. Socks seem an unlikely hero, but in the mud-filled trenches of the Western Front, a clean, dry pair of handknit socks could be the difference between life and death. From Lord Kitchener, Britain's Secretary of War and the namesake for the modern Kitchener stitch graft (often used in sock-knitting), to the American Red Cross, to propaganda posters featuring fake knitting, we hope you'll tune in to the episode to learn more.⠀ ⠀ The staff at the Pritzker Military Museum & Library @pritzkermilitary were tremendously helpful during this episode’s creation, and we’d like to offer special thanks, as well as our gratitude and reverence for all those who have fallen in service of the American armed forces. ⠀ ⠀ Swipe: Lord Kitchener propaganda poster (Eybl, Plakatmuseum Wien/Wikimedia Commons) | Episode guests Liz Kristan (librarian and knitting historian) and Tina Louise Mead (Assistant Director of Library Services at the Pritzker Military Museum and Library) | Allied troops in trenches (Photo courtesy of National Library of Scotland) | Possible example of “staged” knitting?

Our #crochetpattern of the week is the Intersection Tote, designed by @ntmaglia for #interweavecrochet Spring 2020. A completely creative take on plaid, this bag incorporates double-crochet tapestry work to amazing effect. See more in our stories today and find the pattern in the issue, available at https://interweave.com/crochet!⠀ ⠀ This bag uses high-end details to create a luxurious piece that will last. It’s worked in #nakodenimyarn from @plymouthyarn, a cotton/acrylic worsted blend. No detail has been spared in this striking piece, from the base all the way up to a folded upper edge, which incorporates strips of corrugated plastic for structure.⠀ ⠀ What colors would you choose for your own Intersection Tote? Let us know in the comments!

Our #knittingpattern of the week is the Peace Lily Blouse by Jennifer Comstock Miller @ottermoondesigns, a cropped, feminine blouse that pairs great with pants or a breezy sundress. Take a closer look at the project in our stories today and find the pattern in Interweave Knits Summer 2020, available from your LYS, on local newsstands, or online at https://interweave.com/knitting! #interweaveknits⠀ ⠀ The peasant-top styling of the Peace Lily Blouse is paired with a simple garter-stitch floral lace pattern on the fitted bodice, while a feathery vine lace creates light, voluminous sleeves. This piece is worked modularly for minimal finishing. ⠀ ⠀ The yarn we chose for the sample is @theyarncollective Fleurville 4 Ply, a beautiful 100% superwash Merino fingering-weight yarn. We love how it looks in this crisp Lily colorway, but Fleurville 4 Ply also comes in a select palette of gorgeous hand-dyed artisan shades. Distributed by @lovecraftsknitting. #fleurville4ply #theyarncollectivefleurville⠀ ⠀ Give Jennifer some love for this gorgeous design!

This time on #knittingnerdcast, dig into yarn and the “science behind the twist.” Find the Knitting Nerdcast on your preferred podcast platform and online at https://interweave.com/knitting. Friend of the podcast and science outreach teacher Scott at @learnathingtoday talks about the physics at play when someone is spinning yarn and inherent in a skein of yarn ready for knitting or crochet. Scott is a beginning but enthusiastic knitter and spinner, and in true nerdcast spirit, he agreed to help us understand what's going on with twist and why it's so powerful.⠀ ⠀ What direction is yarn spun and why does it matter? What the heck is the hariness index? Why does some yarn unravel slightly as you work with it? What does yarn have in common with that ultimate twist-y science substance: DNA? Scott dives into all this and more as he and Hannah come to the inescapable conclusion: Yarn is life.⠀ ⠀ The moral of the story: keep learning about your craft and how/why it works! There is an endless amount to know about fiber and knitting, and it’s all governed by the laws of science. There's a deep appreciation to be had there that can add further dimension to a craft you love, or help you fall back in love if you're in a knitting slump.⠀ ⠀ The Knitting Nerdcast is available wherever you get your podcasts, and we would love it if you would subscribe and leave us a review to help other knitters and nerds find us!⠀ ⠀ Are you a science or physics nerd who loves to knit or crochet? How does your passion for the laws of nature inform and enrich your fiberly pursuits? We want to hear all about it.
