How would you knit this design? by
Harlan Messinger
I've put a design up at
http://www.gavelcade.com/weave1.gif
In some of the rows, there are gaps of more than five stitches between
where one color leaves off and where it picks up again, so theoretically
Fair Isle will leave strands floating for too long. But this seems too
elaborate for...

wool dog toys by
Madelaine
This is crossposted, with permission, from a dog group I'm on (for Irish
Water Spaniel lovers). It seems like a great way to use up non-spinable
bits of fiber:
When I was at the Canfield shows, there was a booth that sold wool toys
for dogs. I bought a tug ring for Ariel and she loves it. You can...

Socks by
Mary Fisher
I shouldn't do this because I'm going to Wales tomorrow for at least two
weekends but I do wonder why there's a sudden passion for socks.
My close friend sarah has discovered them and knits them all the time,
beautiful ones, a daughter is doing the same (the one we're going to see
tomorrow)....

Happiness is a new spinning wheel by
Vintage Purls
Well, okay an "almost new" spinning wheel. I managed to buy an ex demo
Ashford double-drive traditional wheel for a song on Trademe (our local
equivalent of eBay). It arrived today and was quickly assembled. My old
wheel was over 30 years in age and rather clunky. The new one runs
beautifully...

Slipperiness and Continental style by

I'm a new knitter and I'm doing fine with English style. I'm working on
getting the hang of Continental style because of its advantages--I think
that if I get it down, it'll be faster, and I'm going to want to try
Fair Isle knitting with the two-hand method. I'm starting to get the

relative that knitted many items in several or more colors
I have not seen any that show how to carry the yarn in the back and etc.
Any good...
