Spinning T-shirts by AlenasMom
I'm thinking of making a T-shirt design for people who spin... Picture of a spinning wheel with a ball of yarn spelling the words "Spin me another Yarn..." What do you think? -- Lina Alena born July 1st, 2003

Business rant. (Slightly on topic too!) by AlenasMom
I own a clothing store. (Online only right now, but that's not important!) After a lot of trials and tribulations, I finally got it working and online and able to accept orders! We got one order and it included two pairs of hand knitted socks. Which is great! My partner is the one who does the...

Finished Objects by Alison
Yesterday was a gala day, I finished the socks I'm making for a friend (for her brother, for Christmas.) He has size 12 feet and I thought those feet would NEVER end! I was able to get a good length on the leg also, I did it all in k2 p2 rib so it would stay up (I hope.) They're in NY Mets...

Victorian Lace Today by Alison
I just got this large book last weekend (I had a gift card for Barnes & Noble) and have found an awful lot of shawls/scarves I want to make from it. It wasn't indexed (or I didn't find the kind I wanted) so I made an index with the projects, along with yarn types and requirements, and difficulty...

Catskill Merino Yarn by Alison
I was in Manhattan yesterday and stopped by the Greenmarket. There was a vendor there selling Catskill Merino Yarn, dyed with natural dyes. I bought 2 skeins of indigo-dyed yarn and am thinking I'll make mittens out of them. It's pretty much worsted weight and a lovely soft blue. Alison

Cabling without Cable Needle (C4B) by Alison
Hi - I've looked up a lot of instructions on cabling without a cable needle, and all the ones I've found deal with a front cable (C4F). I'm making a sweater that has 2 stitches held to the BACK on a cable needle, and I haven't figured out how to do this without a needle. Can anyone...

Class Today by Alison
I took a free class today at a library branch with a great knitter. We learned how to make Elizabeth Zimmerman's Baby Surprise Jacket. It's very cool - you just knit, using double decreases and "make ones" and when it's finished, you fold and suddenly it's a little sweater. Of course I got about 10...

Socks Class by Alison
I've been in a group of cross stitchers for years, but some of us are migrating away to knitting. I'm going to teach a sock class to two friends, both of whom have seen me knit socks and gotten hooked (ha ha). I'm looking forward to it in a couple of weeks! Alison

Top too short - ideas? by Alison
I used the long weekend to finish a cotton top (knit in Knit 1 Crochet 2 Cotonade yarn.) i've been working on this for YEARS. I picked up the neck stitches, joined shoulders, picked up sleeve edgings, and only have the side seams to sew. It's too short. I measured it and it is right for the...

Stretchy Bind-Offs by Alison
I'm knitting toe-up socks and looking for stretchy bind-offs for the cuff. I've tried the sewn bind-off aka Elizabeth Zimmerman's bind-off. It is stretchy but it seems to make the tops flare out. I've tried the suspended bind-off but it doesn't seem to be all that stretchy. Any other...
