Thankyou souch for your inspiration. Ever since we met that day on set, I have been thinking about introducing colour to my knitting repetoire… And, finally I am attempting, and mostly succeeding, with my first intarsia colour-pattern. A large 80 x 80stitch heavy-weight piece for the back of a sweater. So thankyou. Now I need to figure out how to handle the spaghetti of yarn at my feet:)!
Hello, I’ve been reading you for a while although I’m still not brave enough to get caught up in cables, some day…….. but I’m having a wonderful time at your blog: reading, learning and laughing!
Biquiños
I just love reading your blog. You have a lot to share with others and you encourage readers as well. I hope to learn much from you my new friend! Have an awesome weekend!
I’m sure you get these sorts of messages all of the time..
But I love you! HA HA HA! (Figuratively speaking!)
I received a free celtic block pattern from a friend on Ravelry…but had no flippin’ idea what C4F was or anything else you’ve explained here!
I’m so glad you’re on the web!
Thanks soooooooo much! You made my day!
Jenny
Thanks Jenny, but actually you are the first to profess your love for me like this! Let me know if you need help with the cables – the ebook would definitely help!

Hello Steve. We met at JJ Bean yesterday. (The woman with the orange scarf.) You suggested that I send you my e-mail address and you would send me a list of wool stores in Vancouver. Well, here you go! I look forward to receiving the wool INTEL. Also, thanks for the heads up on Dressew. I better hustle down there and see if there is something I want to stock up on.

I just read through all the blog postings related to the sock knit-a-long, and they’re fantastic – so easy to read and follow, especially with all those photos you put up. I’m just ready to “turn the heel” on my Christmas stocking (for next year!), so I’ll be reading that part carefully now. I’ll bring it in the first Sunday that it’s done (or maybe sooner if I get stuck).
Finally finished my 5 yr old son’s sweater and sent it to my 3 yr old nephew for his birthday. Needless to say, my brother was happy, until my son told everyone that he was giving away his sweater cuz it didn’t fit! On another note…know anyone who wants a lovely blue vespa to cart their knitting in? I know one that ‘s for sale. And Mr Hugzzz, my # has changed to 7785741451. And now back to those fingerless gloves. Those ought to still fit my evergrowing son…
I was trying to buy your books as part of the charity contest you were doing and it wont let me confirm the payment, every time i try it brings me back to the confirm payment page.
Jared, try just submitting a payment through PayPal to mrhugzzz@gmail.com. After you do that I will email you the book and put your name in the draw. Good Luck!

I just stumbled on to your site today. Althoe I don’t knit. I do crochet and have been since I was in elementary school. I’m developing new patterns and learning about free form crochet.
I plan to take a knitting class asap…
Love your web site. Richard.,
Hi Huggz
I’m wondering if you would be interested in reviewing our brand spankin’ new enhanced ebook, “Knitting Video Stitch Alongs Vol. 1″. It’s an ebook with video embedded in it! It has patterns plus demonstrations 5 stitches, and comes with 5 projects patterns that use the stitches. It’s available in the itunes/ibookstore right now.
This is hopefully just the first of many Knitting Video Stitch Along eVbooks. These 5 stitches are a few of the ones that were included in the DVD “Stitch Heaven Salutes Barbara Walker” Unfortunately itunes doesn’t allow us to give you the eVbook for free, but we would be happy to send you a copy of the DVD and you can download a sample of the evbook itun.es/iBp97s
If you wouldn’t mind doing a joint review for both that would be great!
Thanks,
Kelly; Associate Producer Stitch Heaven
just found you – actually my daughter, Jen, suggested it – I’m glad I did!
I just started to explore…so far it’s been great! sun is peaking out below those
boring clouds…catch ya later…

Thank you so much for your inspiration. Just found this site through Vogue. I have been knitting for over ? years. Luv, Luv, Luv it and will be following you, especially because of my 13 year-old grand who wants to knit. Can you instruct were else i can follow you and do you have patterns that are free or purchasable like the sweater on this site along with the shrug.
great scarf calendar! and so nice to discover a man who likes to knit AND is an experienced knitter. My oldest son Nathan would really like to learn to knit too – i’ll show him your blog for encouragement!
will check you out on Ravelry as well, i’m on there too as mamanpc.
kind regards, Lorraine
Hi Steve,
I came across your video on youtube and it’s great to see another fellow knitter. I have been knitting since the 3rd grade. I’m now 49, so been knitting for about 40 years. I started with scarves and afghans, but within the past 15 years have graduated to sweaters and now socks (regular and argyle). I LOVE knitting. I will enjoy looking at your designs and patterns.
Nice to run across you.
David Pascucci
Thanks David – Please feel free to comment and/or request anything you’d like me to post up here about knitting. 40+ years- that’s quite an accomplishment! I can’t think of anything I’ve been doing for that long!

I recently bought and raced through a first read of your e-book, “Cables Untangled,” and have a question about how much yarn gets used. I have a single ball of yarn that I’m experimenting with a scarf with just a single braid. I’d like to keep the end result, and have it long enough for a kids’ scarf, and am wondering if I should relax the braid to get a longer scarf with the same amount of yarn?
Have I got this worked out, or am I confused? Is my question even clear?
I’m ecstatic about “Cables Untangled” and am already experimenting, and your blog is inspiring me to be more purposeful about my knitting, so I feel like I’m actually getting SOMETHING finished!
I’m interested in the Waves scarf/cowl pattern, but would like to get a closer look before deciding to buy. I can’t seem to see any but the first of the four pic’s of it (clicked on the picture on the ‘patterns’ page; using a Mac). Any suggestions?
You have it worked out right and yes, relaxing it would give you a longer scarf, however not long enough for an adult scarf. You could do a wider braid (Angel?) and make a neckwarmer with buttons for a one ball scarf … just a thought. When using the Barrington Braid, you need about 600 meters of worsted weight yarn to make a scarf the length of the ones I have in the photos.

Hi Mr. Hugzzz
Hey, – wow – my first thought was “Somebody almost like me.” I am German, living in lower Saxony in the Hannover area (exctly that is in Braunschweig (Brunswick)) . I am knitting things for 30 years now, sometimes that hobby was more prominent in my life, sometimes I put it down completely. Nowadays I am knitting again because of the meditative effects on me. I do it at work (I am lucky that that is possible) or at home. My favourite subject are socks (at the moment). I can knit them in several kinds of directions, traversal, spiral, from ankle to toe or vice versa. Female Colleagues of me told me that I am an artist Normally I knit socks as a present, and so none of them can be seen. I agree with you that cable patterns have very creative opportunities.
I saw your invitation to your area and I like to second that, I want to invite you or each and everybody to visit Germany, its forrests, its medieval towns and lots of landscape like the Harz mountains or the coastal regions. I invite you and I like to wellcome you in my country. I case I find the time I would be able to show you a lot of interesting places.
I may say to you Mr. Hugzzz, that you have inspiring Ideas like this cable shawl hanging over your shoulder. Yeah and finally this blog inspires me to start one of my own …sooner or later. If you like to address me, don´t hesitate to send an e-mail. My best wishes to you, a lot of inspiring and creative knitting ideas and I am revisiting your blog, promised. Knitting Bull
Wow Bull – thanks for your generosity and the great comment! I will definitely take you up on that and I am so glad to have you reading the blog. I have to say that it is people like you that are the reason I continue to blog and make it public! Looking forward to future discussions and seeing some of your work. Take pics of those socks before you give them away!

Wow, I just stumbled across this site. I just started cable knitting and was looking for some easy patterns and your explanations are so perfect! For a beginner like me, the cable patterns can be intimidating but I the way you put it so simply. Great work!
