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 Harlan Messinger
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 hand...
