Hi Pirjo, I've just sent you an off list note about this. Hugs, Auntie Nora

Actually...the next I thought it is time for a set. You know the thing like blankie & jacket or something else like that. A combination, you see. The yarn Nora sent me a long time ago has some use now. I had to find a right shade of gray beside it, but I found it. Now I think...the jacket (made...

When I took my entry to the fair on Wedesday I found a kitten in a trash can. I was walking back to my truck and the can started squalling. My vet says is it perhaps 12 days old. A little gray tabby that my son has named "Leopard" because of its stripes - who am I to argue? I'm feeding it every...

....in a quilt? Ok i know this is not exactly yarn related but it does relate to wool...When i lived in Italy i was loaned a non patchwork quilt that i was told was stuffed with wool. Even though it was the thickness of a regular quilt (rather than a duvet) it was very snuggly. I loved it and I...

Hi! I asked my mother about washing the Italian quilt stuffed with wool. Water must be avoided, otherwise you will get something felted and unusable. The only way is dry cleaning. After winter she airs her one very well on the balcony, beats it with a rug beater (hope this expression is right),...

Loads of 'em. Hope you enjoy them. Thanks for all your kind words by the way. You're all welcome. I've sorted out the e-mail problem. When I started getting the 'microsoft' viruses, I decided to log on to web mail to delete them rather than let them load on to my computer. Even though I have a...

Wonderful Aud! And imagine yourself sitting in the swing, moving it with your legs. Knitting is in your hands, and you listen the song called The Portrait. Oh what a picture! It fits like a glove into the hand. Can't explain, you should feel it. But I can tell you I have seen that picture in...

Hi Spampot Chorley cakes have been tracked down and a now reposing in a safe place- if you will email me your snail mail privately i'll get them off to you. Regards Sarah

I know that some of you on here are a little bit worried that your knitting isnt as good as you would like it to be, and some of you have emailed me privately to say that you would like to take part in the 6x6 but feel that you aren't up to standard yet, whilst you can knit plain, you've not yet...

Hi all, if you, like me, enjoy knitting or crochet, love meeting new friends. Then this is the best ng in the world to do it all in. AND now there is a brand new easy fun to do project...The 6x6 great square exchange. If you haven't signed up to it yet...You don't know what you...

Can anyone help me with this? I've knitted a circular-yoke Lopi sweater for my DH (last holidays); he tried it on - it bunched at the front of the chest and was tight over the shoulders. Am I doing something wrong? Will increasing chest size help? Or do I have to put in markers and knit shoulders...

"Johanna Koski" wrote in message ... This is a virus - DO NOT OPEN Roger. It took over a week, until these came to rcty.. This truly is a virus, so don't bother opening it. Johanna

Has anyone heard of this? Since I'm a newbie, this topic may have already come up and I missed it. I heard about it in church this morning and thought it would be a wonderful thing for this group to participate in, if it hasn't been done already. If there is a thread project ambassador for RCTY...

I just found out on a knitter's forum that you sell on e-bay. I went and had a look and your stuff looks awesome, and so is your feedback file. Way to go! BTW, your I.D. is pretty cute too. (ecclescakes). Aww, can I pinch your cheek? Shelagh

First of all this logs in under my hubby's name, I am Bobster's wife. I haven't been logged into the group long. I crochet and I was wondering if any of you do. From what I have seen most of you knit. I am a beginner in crochet and have problems reading some patterns. Right now I am working...

I sent you privately a message about 6x6 thing. I just hope it got through. Best: P.I

Well I have 30 on the list now, so I am going to get you all paired up tonight when DH is home, then if there are more wanting in, it'll still be early enough for them to get in on it. Don't know if Ray Almond wants in again, haven't seen any posts from that sender at all, but Ray if you...

Hi all, please check and make sure I have you all down. If not tell me, or if you are on this and shouldn't be..let me know also. Still taking signups, so lets be having you??? 1. Laurel 2. Carol Ann 3. Aud 4. Janse 5. Shelagh

Hi everyone I'm not new to knitting as I learned when I was about 9 or 10, but I'm new to this board. You seem a very warm and friendly bunch of people! I have been lurking for a while and have learned an awful lot, and developed a large favourites folder entitled 'knitting' with many sub-folders...
