Would you be surprised to learn that knitting is essentially creative math? And sometimes it's science too. Take the Harmonics mitts from Stitches and String Theory, an intriguing cable design inspired by the physics concept to keep your hands toasty and warm.

Hot take: Tunisian crochet doesn't get enough love. And we're here to change that, along with Natalia Yarncraft! Pictured is her gorgeous Tunisian Uneek Cowl, the prettiest, squishiest, warmest, and biggest cowl we've ever seen! It looks incredible in a gradient set.

While potato-chip knitting can be tasty and fun, sometimes the you want something juicier. Enter Paola Albergamo's Kryla lace shawl, in three delectable sizes. With a delicate motif echoing majestic mountains, this knit will satisfy your appetite, whether you want a nibble or a full-course meal.

Whether you land on the decorating-after-Halloween or the decorating-just-before end of the winter holidays spectrum, the Mistletoe pattern by Taylor Rutledge of Needle Fox Arts @needlefoxarts.bsky.social works for you! It knits up quickly, it can be reused, and it's not poisonous to pets!

The worst part about sweaters is the sleeves. That's just science. Thanks to Helena from Colorway Knits, the sleeves of Amazing Lace sweater will keep you interested, AND there's a great lace panel, to boot!
