Got a little cold earlier this week. Congested, tight breathing. Got out the nebulizer and the Albuterol on Tuesday - haven't needed either of them in months. Nebulizer quit working on Thur. Drugstore doesn't carry them. Call pulmonologist office - assistant useless. Got on line, ordered one...

Hi all, A while (like a year or so ;) ) I bought a skein of 1/8" thick flat "yarn" (it's really more like ribbon). It's a really pretty, variegated blue/green - looks kind of ocean-like. Anyway, I thought I'd make a scarf. Finally did it - just a plain garter stitch because I thought the...

In the new Spin Off magazine is an article about dyeing with food colours. I had some sitting around from the time that Skye and her Mother were here, and did some dyeing this afternoon. I liked working with the little bottles, putting the colour in the dye bath drop by drop. Not messy and no...

Hi all. I just downloaded a new newsgroup reader and this is a test. I hope the group does not mind. Waving at you. Mona

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit. It appears that instead of slipping the first stitch on each row, I was slipping the first stitch over the second stitch on each row. *sigh* BDR U! (that's a family thing, the school we are all alumni of, "Brain Dead 'R' Us") So started over, got the cuff knitted...

First: Thank you Nora for a great job, and thank you Cher and Noreen, who also have been responsible for "getting us safely through our first year" of 6x6! Congratulations to CNN, AND to all of us!

Many years ago I had a pattern for a child's hat. It was a balaclava style pattern with what we, my daughters and I, called pussy cat ears. I think it called for double knitting or sport weight yarn. Now my daughter would like me to make one for her daughter. I can't find my pattern and the yarn...

I hope you all have long memories - if not you will have forgotten this pest form downunder. All my memory tells me at the moment is how much I have *really missed* you folk. I have felt totally cut off from my friends and the world - goddness how one misses a computer. It has been quite a...

Anyone here get The Stitchery catalogue? I haven't embroidered for decades, and I was just about to toss the catalogue in the recycling when I turned it over and on the back was "Knit Lite." Lighted knitting needles. Yes!! For a mere $15.95, you can own a pair of plastic needles (sizes 6,...

Dear Helen what a great surprise I found in our mailbox today. Thak you. We have tried to use a CD as circle for the kumihimo braiding, but did not get the slots neat and straight. The edges were just to ragged for it to be safe to use. The one you mailed to me in its very own neat box, is...

OMG, I'm rolling on the floor, laughing at myself... This morning, splutter, cough, giggle, Don asked if my foot was tired, and if my hands were cramped. I gave him one of those "HUH?" looks.... and he tells me .... "You were spinning in your sleep last night!" Wow, I DID dream I was spinning......
