Sorry if this a duplicate. My PC crashed just as I posted my message. I finally stitched up a jacket that I knitted in a few weeks but then put off making up for months. Do most knitters find that they love the knitting but hate the sewing up. I know what will happen, I will remove the pins that I...

Yes, thank you. I too love the perverse creatures, but feel they don't belong here in such quantity. Kathryn in CT wher OUR LEAVES ARE FALLING!!!!

Hi Noreen, I've been up in my shed today, sadly not weaving, but clearing out.....what alot of things I found, I didn't know I still had half the stuff in there. One of my prized finds (I swear I've never seen it before..lol) was a booklet on Shawls. It is:- Twilleys Book of Shawls- featuring...

I just had an inspiration, which might have been discussed previously, but then again, I am a little slow. I was just looking through 1 of the knitting magazines I have. There were so many sweaters that I liked, with so many different knit patterns. I thought that the 6x6 square project would be...

Hi, First off, no question is a silly one. We all have different ways of doing this. I tie the next ball of yarn on to that one, then when done, weave the end into the back. HTH, Nora

If a pattern recommends a specific yarn, you can find out how many meters/yards are in a hank and from there figure about how much yarn you'd need to substitute. Another method is to estimate the total area of the item to be made (math stuff here, don't be timid about it), knit your gauge...

Hi the Just wondered if any other fellow Canadians are experiencing any effects of Isabel yet? I"m in St. Catharines, about 15 min. outside of Niagara Falls . We really haven't seen anything yet, it is breezy and raining off and on. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who has experienced...

Hi! I've been lurking for a while, and now I have a question that I'm sure someone here can help me with. I'm currently working on my third pair of socks with heels, and I'm getting ready to work on the heel flap. The pattern I'm using tells me to put a slip stitch at the beginning of each row, so...

Alex, Just a couple of suggestions, call around your local knitting stores or even try the local senior citizen groups. Someone there may be able to help your Mom. I sure hope someone can. Nora

OH, yes, Pirjo, that sounds lovely. I would like to do that now, but, alas, this is not the time of year for me to have free time - not for 4 years, anyhow. But you enjoy it for me. Best, Katherine "Pirjo Ilvesvuori" wrote in...

1. Natural, blends, or acrylics (and other man-made) fibers for yarns? 2. Favorite weight of yarn to work with. Hugs, Noreen Answers from ME: 1. I adore natural's to work with, and would have to say I prefer them or blends. However, I use a lot of acrylics mostly due to price,

Just letting you all know I finally heard from my mom and some of my kin.so far they are doing ok ,some of them are still without power.Thank all of you for your concerns and especially your prayers.Stella

After looking through a bunch of Italian knitting magazines (Susanna), I'd love to do something with embroidery on a sweater. Apparently you need to use a hoop and also a thin fabric between the sweater and the hoop which you later cut away. From the illustrations in the journals, it looks like...

Last night there was - guess what? Storm! Yes it was! With lightning and all! Guess who was forced to be offline...AAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a good time,Pirjo! AUD ;-)) -- "Pirjo Ilvesvuori" skrev i melding ... I make a little travel to Oulu today. And I meet many friends there. I hope I can knit while on way there and

Pirjo, Let's hope you are not going to get another bug that goes to your lungs. I got the pockets today in the mail, now just need the back. Hugs, Auntie Nora
