Hi everyone, I'm trying to make a sweater for my niece using pattern 12 in the winter 01/02 issue of Vogue Magazine. It's an Oscar de la renta pattern using a gold yarn. The original yarn called for is Berrocco's Metallica (now called Brilliant FX). I couldn't get that yarn, but found...

I am on a new stitch on an afgan, that I've always admired but can't seem to manage the Ripple stitch. My problems are on the ends, they seem to be growing, and I laid it flat and it's not an illusion, I counted and they are growing, I am supposing it's my turning. and my ends are curling is this...

I have a dear friend who lives in Peru and will be coming back to the States in January. I would love for him to pick me up some local yarns and bring them with him when he comes. Any idea of what kind of yarn I should specify? I would think Alpaca would be the most "local / regional" type of...

Today I'm going to do as much prep as I can for tomorrow's brunch. I'm expecting 30-odd people at Meemaw's so the more I get done today the easier tomorrow will be. Santa's helpers also have to spirit wrapping paper out of the house to the garage and get things wrapped today/tonight! The boy...

It's storm here, but I leave in few hours, first to DD. Then tomorrow we go south to Tenerife, Canari Islands. It seems that the weather will be nice! If not, we will at least have a "different" celebration :-) Hugs to all of you, Aud ;-))

There's a lot of mohair and other furry yarn in my stock which I want to use before I buy any more of anything. Can anyone think of any reason why it shouldn't be used for a man's jumper? My husband is very tolerant (we've been legally married - to each other - for going on for fifty years) and...

I purchased several weeks ago the 2007 knit calendar that some of us purchase. The one in the box a couple of inches bigger than index cards. I think it is the best on in the last several years. It even has some decent sock patterns. I also used one of the small baby sock patterns for our...
