I got my squares in the mail from Sue W. last week but forgot to post because I was getting ready for a big dog show this past weekend (if anyone wants to know about that, I'm REALLY willing to tell, but it's pretty OT). Sue, I'll have yours out this week. -Amanda http://www.uberpest.com

I finished weaving in ends on 6 scarves yesterday while wrapping them for the family Christmas party (we're leaving in just a few to make the trip to Ann Arbor). Whew! I also did up special boxes for each scarf-- red lids/green body or vice versa with glitter paint as the final coat and some...

just a test message. Posted something earlier that might be lost now. Please ignore. -Amanda http://www.uberpest.com

this is the LYS where I feed my addiction. (hope this post isn't against the rules or anything) Anyway, the store owner and her husband make these and they're pretty cool. Normally I'm not much on ad posts or whatever, but I think it's slick. My mom saw mine in my knitting bag and had to have...

I got 4 lovely squares from Liz. They actually came a couple of days ago, but I've been down with the flu, so I haven't posted 'til now. -Amanda http://www.uberpest.com

Hi, I'm a lurker looking for help. My Dad is 2nd generation Finnish-American and VERY proud of his heritage. I'd like to make him something with Finnish or Sami color patterns because his family is from Lappland. My problem is that he doesn't know enough Finnish to teach me, so I have trouble...

NO NEW PROJECTS UNTIL THE OLD ONES ARE DONE! That's it. New rule. I have about 10 UFOs and a couple more "need to do soon" projects. Just have to sit and whiddle them down, one by one. A couple are a little more portable than others, so should go quickly. No rule against buying yarn and...

Finished my green ripple afghan. Just have to weave in a million ends now. Also decided that the off-white seed stitch afghan was big enough for a baby blanket (still too small for a grown up) and I was too bored with it to keep going... so I bound off and voila! Baby blanket. Now I just have...

I'm trying to help my BF set up a cafepress shop since mine is fairly successful (I'm actually trying to convince him to write a book about his time in Iraq)... and found this while poking around. http://www.cafepress.com/againstknitting I don't get it. -Amanda http://www.uberpest.com

I just recently bought a storage unit full of nothing but all kind of Yarns and I have a couple of bags of this yarn you're asking about self creations the lady who owned the storage unit must have owned her own shop I have several unfinished dresses for girls and several unfinished sweaters for...

This is far from an emergency situation, as I have plenty of other things on the go, but I figured I'd ask here so I could consider the possibilities. Something (okay, it was that fact that it was $5.00!) convinced me that I needed to bring home a bag (1 pound/454 g) of mill ends of what looks to...

ok, I need some help. I fell in love with this yarn and bought 4 balls of it. On the label it says size 8 pins, and a 10 by 10 inch swatch should yield 16 rows high by 12 rows wide. The ball 50g and is 50 meters long. What I'd like to know, is what the crocheting equivalence. What size hook is...

Another way to knit: go to http://www.pandurohobby.dk/menu/MenuServlet and type in 021734 in the søg (serch) box at the left.

I'm working on a christening gown using Coats Opera size 20 cotton on 2 mm needles. Though I'm usually a tight knitter, I'm finding I need to give the working yarn (thread, really, I guess) a little tug after each stitch to keep my tension even and stitches tidy. Not only is this slowing me...

Hi I'm a regular on the cross-stitch forum, but do a little of crocheting too. I have the Embroidery Stitch Bible by Betty Barnden, and like it a lot. So I was wondering if any of you have another book of hers, The Crochet Stitch Bible? I'm considering buying it. Thanks Amber

I have a nice pattern for a sweater using #10 crochet thread. I picked up some Aunt Lydia's Classic Crochet Thread for it. Before I start, I was wondering if anyone has used this for a garment? Specifically, How does it hold up to washing and wearing? This is my first foray into thread crochet...
