Hi everyone This is not a fun night - I've put aside my knitting and am busy decluttering the top of my triple dresser in the bedroom. In the pile of stuff was a pile of papers that I've been sorting through, and am almost done. Gawwwwd, I hate housework! It interferes with my craft time. ...

Hi Ray and Norma I received my threads from England today! They were very nicely wound onto a piece of paper with descriptions of weight and content in lovely shades of mauve, heathery blue, soft green and beauty called Sirdar Salsa DK - 50% merino/50% acrylic in a burgundy/blue combo. There...

I don't think anyone's started this, so here goes: FO's Felted mitred bag in green/blue/mauve. I like the bag, but made it too big. It looks like a paper boy's carrier bag (snicker). A pair of dark "fireworks" socks for me (with beads). A pair of Socka Colori with silver lurex thread socks for me...

For your viewing pleasure (snerk).... these are almost as bad as the plaid sweater.... http://tinyurl.com/c7gyk This started out well, as a cable design, but why ruin it with pottery on the front???? http://tinyurl.com/b7lqn The sweater that hurts my eyes is on the left. It is so busy, it makes...

Hi Norma I hope you had a great holiday. Can I nag you to see if we can have a March thread exchange?? Do you have time? ;) Shelagh

Hi everyone By now a lot of you are aware of my "sweater from hell" that I'm knitting for my daughter. Last night I was working on the neck, and had ripped it out by 2 a.m. It just didn't look right - there were cast-off stitches and when I picked them up to knit the neck, the lines of knitting...

I just made my daily surfin' trip to Elann yarns, and they have two gorgeous yarns on sale right now. You have to go look!! They are Classic Elite Believe cotton and rayon blend (regular, and space dyed). I would love to order the space dyed for a sweater, or something! I love that...

I just found out on a knitter's forum that you sell on e-bay. I went and had a look and your stuff looks awesome, and so is your feedback file. Way to go! BTW, your I.D. is pretty cute too. (ecclescakes). Aww, can I pinch your cheek? Shelagh

I bought some yarn for a sweater to knit for my daughter. I think they're going to have to put me out to pasture.... I didn't buy enough yarn - and guess why.... the amount given in the instructions was for 100 gm balls. The yarn I bought is in 50 gm balls. And, I was visiting my daughter -...

Hi All As promised, here is a link to the neverending sweater I just finished today for my DD! (grin) http://tinyurl.com/yrm4n Shelagh

Thanks to everyone for their help & advice. I ran it through the washer cycles again, and put it in the dryer. It did tighten up some more, and with my knitting projects IN the bag, it's not quite so floppy. I took a pic of it outside - so the colour is a little too bright, but you'll get the...

Thanks Miriam... I still can't see you all. I have to read the posts in Google, but refuse to sign up for an account just so I can post. I have SO MANY accounts and passwords, I have to write them all down to keep track of them. Grrrrr. I wonder what is going on with my ISP and Usenet? Oh...
