The first part of the decreasing operation is done. And there is 72 stitches at the moment. You bet it was hard to do. Had to put a marking yarn to every 5th stitch. But I did it anyway. Phew! Now the second part and then it is done - at least for a while. Best: Pirjo

Poor you, Pirjo! How about some dry crackers? Or maybe you should give your stomach a rest for a day, and then try eating something light. Hugs, Katherine "Pirjo Ilvesvuori" wrote in message ... My stomach is crazy. Really. It wants...

Good to hear, Kathy. Let's hope that your recovery is uneventful, but that it lasts long enough for you to get some serious knitting done. g Katherine "The Anti Kathy" wrote in message ... Hi, ladies! The whole surgery...

There was a thread recently for non-traditional knitting projects -- and I just found one that I think is really cool. It's at: http://www.knitting-crochet.com/messto.html Does that look fun or what?!? Anyway, it aks for 3-1/2-oz balls 2-fold stocking yarn. That's a new one to me. Does anyone...

Hi Group! Below please find a note from Gemini which she asked me to post to the Group: Hi Noreen! Would you please share this email with the newsgroup... I miss all of you very much!! *hugs* I just came into the local library to check my email... we haven't gotten the internet back yet.

Hi Laura, Welcome to the group! I live on the East coast, so can't help you knitting clubs in Santa Barbara. But, maybe you could check with your local yarn stores. They'll probably be able to help. There is also something called International Knitting Meetup Day. If you go to the...

Hi, I saw her post back in the 1990's. She wanted to help seniors learn how to use a PC. I'm just wondering what happened to her? Anyone else know of any programs to join where we can help seniors?

Hi, Laura, and welcome to the group. I live in Labrador, in northeastern Canada, so cannot help you with your search for a knitting club in CA. g I am a knitter, primarily, but there are many renaissance ladies here who do all kinds of crafts. I am sure that they will welcome you,...

I really enjoy knitting with Homespun, but I have trouble crocheting wth it. For what it's worth... Kathryn in steamy Connecticut

I'm having a radical thought here - about knitting, of course. Okay, it's probably not radical to most of you but it is a little scary to me and I've no idea if I am completely on the wrong track or if this is something that everyone else has known for ever but just has never occured to me...

I have to make a doily for a customer and the pattern calls for Phildar Perle 5. What size is that? Normally, I would just crochet with size 10 thread, but since it's for someone else - I need to make sure the size thread is what the pattern calls for so the doily will be the right size. I've...

I just saw a fancy crocheted bolero in a Lions Brand catalog that I got in the mail recently. It was marked as a new item. Very open stitch, so it looked lacy -- the yarn they used was Watercolors, described as a bulky weight, soft merino wool blend; and then it had fun fur trim. It...

Thank you - that definition of Berlin wool and Zephyr weight was perfect. The pattern calls for size 14 needles (I'm assuming metric, as this was before the American system was invented, but there is no gauge. I'll try felting the wool; I've got some carded, and the staple is about 2-3". I'll let...

Honestly, I did! I made some fish for my dinner and youghurt for dessert and tea with honey to drink. Mmmmm! That was tasty! And then...what was I gonna say...Yes, I watched 'The Wide Nature' or something like that translated from Finnish name. It is a nature program and told about those...
