He's not really, but everytime there's a 'present' in the mailbox for ME, he pretends to get mad and wonder why he doesn't get any.... Actually, he's really not complaining, he's as bad as I am tearing into packages, especially when I wasn't expecting one. BTW, he said to tell you ALL...

Dearest Els, Got home late Saturday night, and along with my squares from Norma for Oct. 6x6, a lovely package from YOU was there too!!! I was SO surprised by all the wool!!! I knew about the book... OH, and the little booklet too! You are the SWEETEST! BIG hugs, Noreen --

Well figured I should post how the fair craft competition went now that I have everything back. I entered four categories and am happy to say that I received 4 ribbons. 4th - hand puppet 4th - knit slippers 4th - cross-stitch on linen 2nd - crocheted lapghan.

For those interested, I have posted a picture of the christening gown I sewed for my grandson 11 years ago. It's made of white cotton eyelet. Go here to have a look: http://tinyurl.com/pzgg Shelagh

I was browsing the links Aud sent and saw this beauty! I can't wait to try it out. http://members.aol.com/gandal195/aprildawn.html It's a crocheted square. Each time I get a new partner I start cruising the web for new squares lol!! I try to pick something unusual and now I have a new...

HI -- You have all been busy. I frankly couldn't imagine working through all those messages so after checking on Mirjam (I heard about the bombing in Haifa while I was gone), I marked the rest read and will start anew. I got back this noon but there is a 12 hour time change from India to Seattle...

Did you get the Bootsock pattern? I know Norma received her copy. Hugs, Noreen -- STRIP *tease* to email me. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I just discovered that the fake Microsoft patch flooding began again :-((( I got 8 such messages in 5 minutes :-((( My provider filtered them for a week, then people started complaining about the impossibility of sending .exe attachments (all of them got filtered) and so the flooding is back... and...

Thanks for sharing your pictures, Myka. Your first knit project looks wonderful. What pattern is it? What yarn did you use? And who is the lovely lady? Janise "Myka KS" wrote in message ... Hi all,

I just found this newsgroup today! I'm an avid crocheter (Is this the right word?), and my best friend is a really good knitter! I'm starting to knit granny squares so that I can make a quilt for my baby. I'm going to quilt the squares for my daughter. Does anyone know of a good, quick, fairly easy...

Good morning, Elsewhere on the list there's a post about a set of Boyes Needlemaster needles for sale. I'm just wondering if I could get some information these. (I think they are what my daughter has been hinting about for Christmas). The way she described it was a set of circular loops of...

Cher, I sent my 2 October squares to Nora today. She will hopefully have them by Tuesday. (We live about 200 miles or 3 hours drive from each other.) Janise

I've been debating over whether or not to share this with you-all. . . But after Els said that there may be more of you out here able to help me and sheer me on, I thought, "why not?" My increasing obsession with yarn has led, as it inevitably does, to a desire to learn to spin. Especially...

Hi There Pirjo, I have been following the posts about your driving lessons, and the fact that you knit ANYWHERE! I am surprised to find out that you haven't knitted at your driving school. To calm your nerves over driving, here are a couple of tips g... Every time you have to turn the steering...

One certain blankie needs 15 squares. Each square has 60 stitches and 60 rows. I have already made 1 pink one and 3 finished white ones. The white one nr. 4 is on needles. I knitted like crazy last night and today. Had to rest a while and do other things, but then I went on knitting, and soon the...

Hi Pirjo, Wel, at least I'll only have to wear the patch for 24 hours, but Monday I won't be able to wear my glasses at all so the left eye will have to do all the work for both. Hugs, Auntie Nora
