Request: converting Ehrman wool colours to anything else by SarahEmmm
I'm afraid I mostly lurk here, but now I am stumped by this problem and hope somebody can help. I have bought an Ehrman 12 hpi canvas of a walnut tree, but it comes without wool. Now I need to identify what wool to get for it, but I have totally failed to find any conversion chart. I saw a...

off topic = but some one will know by Cheryl Isaak
a way to patch a pair of jeans that have split along the back pocket. They're "stretch denim" and so far two different brands of iron on patch have peeled off. I really want to keep them for grunge work outside but don't want the world to know I have red undies on! C

Cross Stitch Needles by [email protected]
what is everyone's favorite needle? I was using a "My Favorite Needle" but I misplaced or lost it. Then I was using Piecemakers but they don't hold the thread very well. The thread would stick to my dry hands and puttl right out of the needle. Now I am using another brand of 'short' needle, like...

on topic reading by Cheryl Isaak
Book to recommend - even though I'm still in the middle of it. The Ruins of Lace is about the lace trade in 17th century France and Flanders Even the story switches point of view, it flows ago nicely. It is frightening what people did for lace and worse to the lace makers

Finally, a finish by Karen C
Between being sick and scattering my time among projects, it's been a while since I finished anything. It's a cute little npt angel ornament meant to roll into a cone, but now I have to figure out how to finish it -- as is, or do I glue it to cardboard first? And how do I "hem up her...

RCTN activity by Jacqueline[_3_]
Is it my newsreader, or are there only a few posts a day? Until recently, I hadn't been active here for several years, and back then there were maybe 25 - 50 posts a day (very rough estimate!). Is it really that quiet now? Jacqueline in Middlemount QLD

What I'm reading by Karen C
"Love and Capital" -- the love story of Jenny and Karl Marx. Intriguing trivia, while he was railing against the moneyed class, he was being supported by his mother-in-law, the Baroness of Westphalia. Why didn't anyone mention that when I was a political science major? Yesterday I went to a...

actually got some major stitching time in by Cheryl Isaak
While "watching" the Super Bowl. At least the game was good because the ads weren't as fun as in years past. Liked the VW one with the white guy with the Jamaican accent and the Taco Bell one with the senior citizens. But none that were "oh I want to see that one again". Did stitch quite a bit...
