BW
I've been asking myself the question "what is thrill". But, the only

same question in the crafts scene.
After a little searching, I came up with the following...

If you don't see me... by
MouseCLP
If you don't see me for awhile, it's because I'll be out of town for nearly a
month.
DH and I had a vacation planned for next week, to travel to KS and MO to see
his father and my mother. A couple of weeks ago I found out that my Mom has
scheduled her knee surgery for the 27th (the Monday...

In search of bulk buttons by
Jake Wildstrom
I have this Very Clever Project idea. But it wants a lot of yarn
buttons. A lot of lot of buttons. On the order of 350 of 'em. Being a
poor student (with limited patience for individually-packaged items),
I'm not really willing to buy 350 $1 buttons. There are those
'pound-packs' you can get in...

Wallaby pix by
SlinkyToy
I've finally managed to get a couple of shots of my boy wearing his
Wallaby. For those of you who have made this, what do you think of
picking up stitches from the inside, say just below the bottom of the
placket, and knitting in a second layer that doubles as a turtleneck
type thing? Yesterday...

cashmere yarn by
Violetcobra
I wonder if anyone knows what the going rate is for cashmere yarn. I
have seen 120 yds in local shops for $23.00 (US). What would a really
good deal be for a baby hat, something rather fine, maybe 20 sts. to a
4"/10cm?

Wheels are home! by
SlinkyToy
I don't have my great wheel reassembled, but man oh man, did Bill do a
good job overhauling the old girl. He had to drill the spokes and
re-peg them with dowels, and told me he had to put the wheel in his
steambox with weights on it to bring it back into something resembling
true so it would quit...
