Joan in CT
X-NoArchive:yes
Hi Everybody -
After a Thanksgiving that featured a nor'easter w/heavy rain and gusty
wind, the weather turned almost Spring-like here in Central CT. It's
been warm and sunny since Friday Morning - certainly a great holiday
weekend weatherwise. It's almost warm enough to go out...

This is too funny! by
Shillelagh
I was skimming Elann as I usually do, and today they are flogging their
knitting books. I happened upon this one:
It's titled "Knitting With Balls - A Hands-on Guide to Knitting For the
Modern Man"
http://tinyurl.com/y797a6
I like some of the designs they show, and will have to keep an eye...

Shillelagh
DH woke me up at 7:00 a.m. (I went to bed at 1:00 a.m.) wondering if I
wanted breakfast..... so I've been up for a while, had my first cup of tea.
It's quite chilly here -14°C and supposed to get colder by Monday or
Tuesday.... brrrrr. We don't have much snow yet, but as usual, it's kinda
windy...

The weather is frightful - thankfully! by
Padishar Creel
When it is cold and rainy outside I really rev up my knitting/crochet
activity.. I have 4 projects, presently, going on at the same time!
However, they are all knitting and I am hankering (slang for wanting) a
challenging crochet project.
I am looking for something unusual to crochet. Not that I...

Question about calendar by
Marilyn
I have the 2006 Knitting pattern a day calendar. Does any one have the 2006
calendar and has bought the 2007 version? I am wondering if it is worth
buying it again. Are there repeats of the patterns or are the patterns all
new?
Thanky for your opinions,
Marilyn

seeking siedeways vest pattern by
Jackie
Does anyone know of a freely-available pattern for a ladies' vest knit
sideways, in stockinet or garter stitch? I know there was one
sideways-knit vest in "Knit'n'style" April 06, but I'm wondering if
there are any alternatives. Thanks. -- Jackie

Another sock newbie, and intro... by
the Furrsome Threesome
Hello, all... this is a de-lurk
I am a long-lapsed knitter, having given up the craft when I realized I
really couldn't figure out tension and regardless, I didn't need more
sweaters or scarves. Having turned to the Dark Side (quilting) in more
recent years, I recently re-discovered knitting via...

Picture of the Sweater by
Shillelagh
I've finished the Christmas sweater for my granddaughter. (whew!) I can't
decide if I need a course on using my digital camera or if I need new
batteries. I'm not happy with how the colour shows up. It's close, but a
bit more blue in real life. The shade is a denim blue. Anyhow, click on

Website for Basic Kumihimo and a few beginners projects by
elemental
I need some basic instructions for teaching a group using a card (I
might even venture in experimenting with a cd). I myself haven't been
practising for a few years but want to take it up again so the clearer
the instructions the better. I did find a website that had very clear
diagrams that I...

Cable knitting diagrams by
Harlan Messinger
Can anyone direct me to a Web page that illustrates the general rules
for interpreting cable knit stitches in pattern diagrams? The book I'm

Good day everyone!
I don't usually have time to pop in on the weekends, but DH is very busy
sharpening the chain saw, so I have some time now. Once he gets that done -
we're outside to do the usual woodcutting and splitting for the woodstove.
We are definitely into cooler almost winter weather...

Clapotis scarf by
Shillelagh
This is a WIM for me, and I was just looking at the yarn and gauge
requirements. It calls for a gauge of 19 sts/25 rows in 4" of stockinette
on 5mm needles. I'm not sure that I want to use a yarn that heavy. I'd
like to make it from yarn already in my stash.
Has anyone made this scarf in a...
