I'm doing some destashing to feed my coffee addiction (and to free up some space!). Nothing is "for sale" as such because I'm looking for store credit with my favorite Evil Caffeine Enabler and not cash. http://www.fysh.org/~slinky/pix/lj_swap/index.html

The pattern I'm using has the following stitch distribution as I'm working even on the fingers: Needle 1: 20 stitches Needle 2: 21 stitches Needle 3: 16 stitches Needle 4: 16 stitches The first two needles are for the back of the hand, the others for the palm.

Tell me please, how does one wear/use a 2-inch wide scarf? Thanks. I'm new here and this is my first post. Marge

Boy, I could sure use some knitting classes so I could decipher instructions, but I live in a small town and no classes are available. So, once again, I'm asking for help in this newsgroup. I'm still working on my child's sweater and have made it as far as the sleeves. Here are the...

Having got to the toe of the tiny socks I realise that I've forgotten how to graft two rows of stitches! It's been a long time since I did it ... Can anyone help, please? Mary

Today I finished knitting my first moebius - a scarf and hood combined.. My husband has promised to take some pictures of it tomorrow so I can post them. It has been a peculiar experience, albeit a most enjoyable one. When I cast on and worked the first row I did not think there was any way...

A couple of comments from the thread "Alpaca and lace vent" --- Enigma: "...there's no US market for US grown alpaca fiber." WoolyGooly: "...as Lee said there's no North American market for North American-grown alpaca. The things are "designer livestock". When they first started getting...

Can anyone give advice on composition of yarn for baby clothes, a baby blanket, and a shawl please? I'm thinking wool should probably be avoided because of allergy issues - is acrylic really the best? I'm in the UK and need advice on where to source suitable yarn, also. I live in London, which...

Just a quick note this Sunday afternoon to say hi and catch up on 'things'. I've been really busy, which as our Katherine will attest, is nothing 'new', LOL! I've oodles of things going on, and it appears that that's not going to end or even slow down anytime soon. Ya'll got me back in the moebius...

Millie I'm sorry but I didn't think to offer you details of the stitch I used. It is a simple 8 row pattern with across repeats over 6 stitches. The version I used was adjusted for knitting in the round. If you want to use the pattern for a scarf using two needles then I recommend that you cast...

So far , it is going quite well , had 2 froggings , of one time forgot to knit 2 tog , and one time made 2 extrs unneeded thread over needle holes ,]... the pattern is FANTASTIC ,,, the decision to strat it top down and where to start each new pattern as it develops and more stiches are...

I've finished the right side of my baby sweater, and now the instructions say to bind off four stitches to begin the neckline. I understand how to bind off, but when the instructions say 'four stitches', I'm confused. Since you knit or purl two stitches, then by binding off those two stitches,...

The power goes on and off. As of this morning it looks crusty, some of the interstates are shut down. Later we're suppose to get more of it. My daughter left town on Friday, she's about 2 hours away. Don't know how she'll get home. Kids don't listen when you tell them not to kind of thing....

Here they are. If you go to http://s142.photobucket.com/albums/r116/Brenna1508/ and scroll down the first page the pictures we've just taken are there. (I know I've entered them last one first but I was in a rush and can correct later). Bernadette

Hello everyone; I'm so glad to have found this group again! I went from dialup to cable. I know some of you have made the Odd-ball sweater, knit from the top down, and then each sleeve is divided and then short rows knitted; again short rows for the bottom two triangles. I've just finished the...

I answered Dennis in another thread, and sent these links! But may be some of you, who do not follow that link ,also would like to bookmark some patterns for later use. As far as I can see, are all these patterns "genuine" moebius, (NOT scarfs "turned and grafted" together) here is the link for...

Since I have been reading here I notice comments about knitting at a speed of and I just want to know what the reason for knitting fast is? Do the speed knitters do this because they have a forced timetable .......like making samples for yarn shops, competitions or for selling. My situation...
