Spouse demonstrates netting and uses various yarns to show its versatility. I now have far more than enough vegetable bags, toy cradles, real hammocks, fishing nets, rabbit nets, fleece nets etc and for the new season am trying to think of new applications. I'm sure that once I saw a pattern...

In addition to the cable cardigan, I'm going to make the Enid Cardigan in the Winter 2006 Interweave Knits. The pattern calls for a provisional cast on and steeking, neither of which I've ever done. The yarn called for is Reynolds Whiskey, 100% wool. Because I am uncertain about steeking, I...

Cat came in from morning stroll a moment before it started pouring. Than he had some food and asked to be let out again , made a little sniffiy tour under the house and came back with disgusted face. With all the repairmen working in and arouind the house lately i can`t do much serious work ,...

Full disclosu I don't know the man, never met him, likely never will. If you're in the market for a sweater-sized quantity of absolutely unbelievable yarn find "alpacabuyer" on Ebay. He's offering 100% BFL yarn in Aran and DK, and he occasionally offers a hank fo sock yarn as well. I...

Making squares for exchange for my own use, I recall the pattern for 2007 with the numbers and superimposed over it a champagne glass. Has anyone seen this and if so, can you direct me to it. I am just interested in seeing how it is constructed. Thanks, Susan C

Well, I went ahead and ordered 5 skeins of Paton's Dark Sage Shetland Chunky. It is far too light to match or blend with the color I already have. As I indicated to another member, the color closest that I have found is dark forest green or pine from Lion Brand's Woolease. Now comes the question....

Hi all, Well, I'm quite chuffed with my last wee work (if I do say so myself). I had a go at dyeing (food colouring) and made a self striping single that I plyed with a natural cream. I was going for a random look for a wee cardy for a friends new baby - pleasingly random is quite hard to achieve,...

Decided to knit my Daughter a Mudular hat as well + some cuffs , they seam to be quite in now and as a musician it might be just the thing for her . For a slow knitter like me , to knitt a quick project `in between` the bigger ones , is a great added pleasure. also finnished another cellular bag...

Hello RCTY! The move went OK. The VA 'hearing' was, as those things go, inconclusive, it could be 90 days before we hear the outcome. Christmas was a bust, we've still not received our parcel from Christy and Terri, and no, it's not the USPS or UPS's fault, it's, as usual, Christys'. I'm...

.. Had one clear day (yesterday), got a good portion of the new wheel base-coated outdoors. Last night my son helped me base coat the fiddly bits, and this morning I base coated the drive wheel. Tomorrow I'll put it together, Monday a friend who does faux finishing is coming over to do something...

Yes, that's right folks, photos of two finished project within 24 hours! I'm on fire. :) This time it's my first attempt at felting (or should I say fulling? I don't understand the difference). Many, many thanks go to Wooly who sent me needles for this project as I could not get the size...

BB spun a FINE 'yarn': I am now a proud grandmother! Brooklynn Marie B (another BB - heh) was born on Monday weighing 5 lb 14 oz. She is beautiful and perfect! They are going home from the hospital today and then in a few days, I get to go and stay with them to help. I can't wait! ...

Hi, I'm Bev. I've been spinning since about 1989 or so. I know how to knit, sort of, but really don't enjoy it much. I do a lot of crochet and I prefer to use my own yarn. I've spun about everything that's spin-able and most like to spin natural fiber just as it comes from whatever type of...

Starla Torres spun a FINE 'yarn': test I *see* you, so I guess you *pass*! (Just don't pass GAS, lol!) Noreen in one of *those* hilarious moods, grin

Hi everyone, I haven't been here in quite a while. Once in a while I stop by and skim the messages. I asked for help way back I think in October of 2005 when I started knitting and you all helped me so much. I think I've popped in a few times to write in since then but can't remember. :) You can...

Hi, My sister-in-law received a pair of knitted slippers from a patient of hers for Christmas. We are trying to get the pattern but the patient has been discharged of the hospital and we don't know where to look....... Before they were put on the slippers looked like a purse but when on the foot...

I knit Cuffs for my daughter , if she will like them and find them useful i would like to make some different colored pairs , as a musician it might be handy , mirjam

In case of any of you is planning to use the pattern for the Crosspatch hat from the Knitty website, I wrote to the designer that I thought there was a small glitch in the pattern, and she found that there is. She's going to notify Knitty about...
