Hi All, I won't post Sarah-Jane and my yearly total, but for the month of Dec. mine is real short. One knit baby sweater 2 6x6 exchange squares 1 continuous granny square afgan Martin's afghan from last month that I didn't mention

There was this reality show on Fox, called "Simple Life," or something. Did anyone see the first episode, when these 2 girls were on a plane...one of the girls was sleeping with this cute pink and white crocheted blanket. I could tell it was the ripple pattern/chevron pattern. I know my niece...

Turns out the scarf I made for DS#1's girl friend was a big success and she wore it all day on Christmas inside and out. That was the black one I made just in garter stitch using one strand of Lion Brand microspun and one strand of Fun Fur, an eyelash yarn, together both in black. It took only...

Hi Aud! I hope the squares please you. Honestly, I was worried about them. But at least I know now that they are there safely. This 6x6 thing is great way to use the ends of yarns and "homeless yarns". I mean...Imagine that you have 1000 kg yarn but not any idea what to do with it. That is...

I just got the most adorable violet slippers in the mail today! They look suspiciously like the crochet slippers Noreen has been discussing. I almost requested that pattern, as I wanted some warmer slippers for myself. But the pattern was crochet, and I knit. Thank you so much! These will keep my...

CNN, if you hear me...Aud's things are on their way now. I just hope she likes them. And guess who to thank for that? Aino!!!! Oh yes. She invited me into her place and off I went. I pass by a mailbox every time, so usually I post my letters then if I have something to send. Best: Pirjo

Guess what was in my mailbox today!!??!! Two beaufiful squares from Pirjo! One red, one orange and red; nice and even knitted! One in garther stitches, and one in Pirjo's favourite: MOSS STITCHES! Thank you Pirjo! AUD ;-)) --

Noreen, You *must* come over and help me clean my monitor! I just got your email; coffee everywhere! Star love, Norma

I actually did cast on my Cast On project on New Years and completed the twisted cable ribbing on the back. Now I must set this project aside for a little while to finish the baby sweater I am making for someone before her baby arrives - but I will be back to it as it is fun to do. JCT

Hi ladies and gents! Welcome if there is someone who is new. Congratulations if someone has finished a project. And happy anniversary if someone has a wedding anniversary in the near future. That should wrap it all. I myself have been knitting and watching videos lately. Sounds madness, but to me...

For blankets.,... Does anyone have a neat one... Preferably something that I can do mindlessly? -- Lina Alena born July 1st, 2003 www.maternalinstinctscanada.com validate the email address before sending.

Scarey, but I had *another* FUN (and funny) range of thoughts.... There are two TV shows, the original Brit version: Changing Rooms, and it's American "step-child": Trading Spaces. Okay.... so.... we get to change rooms, or trade spaces... but we get to 'cheat'..... we get to tell each other what...

I ran into Lowe's last night for rat traps (long story) and had a run through the Xmas leftovers aisle. One entire box of little 1oz packets of some sort of fine angelhair stuff. Not spun glass, a type of polymer. It has a LOT of texture and might not make a decent sparkly blender, but at...

I just thought that I would have to let you know that I learned how to do two-handed fair isle knitting on Sunday. My MIL had a video from a knitting store and I watched it and within an hour I was able to do it without much problem. Now to just find time to do it. Darlene in...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2004. Could you let me know who the authors of needlecrafts in the late 1800 's and early 1900's.the softbound books and the hardbound books (titles).Every needle stitching in one book ,it is like an encyclopedia ..stitches and illustrations,all in one book. Trying to find some...

For the first time since birth, I have a hand knit sweater for myself that I did not knit. There is a tiny farm in Maryland where the whole sheep are grown and the yarn made and it is soo soft I could not resist. I chose a sweater I will never be willing to create-- one million bobbles on it-- I...

Anna Maria, Could you either post the links you found to crochet- machines, OR send them to me off-list? Becky's really got me thinking, and if Don could see some schematics, he just 'might' be able to build a smaller scale machine, rather than the commercial type you mentioned. Hugs and TIA! Love,...

Hey ladies I have a knitting question. How exactly do you work flat on circular needles? The Learn to Knit book that I have says that after casting on, knitting the first stitch joins the work, but doesn't say how not to join it! Any help would be appreciated as I'd like to knit myself a shawl,...

I sent you both yahoo greetings yesterday, from my yahoo addy... don't be afraid to open them! Noreen -- Noreen's Knit*che (Knitting, Crocheting, Tatting, Bobbin-Lace and Spinning are my NICHE in life..) NATA #447 Member TKGA
