i'm looking for a knitting pattern for a nice shawl or lapghan to make for my grandma's 101st birthday in May. i'm not a fast knitter so something fast & easy would be best, i think, but something with more pizazz than plain garter stitch. it *has* to be knit, as my crochet talents extend only to...

Hi, My name is Catherine, I live in South Africa, and someone suggested I join this newsgroup as I had a knitting question. I am a fairly experienced knitter - my first completed project was an Aran cardigan for my father! Using 4ply wool! He still has it, and that was 30 years ago. Before...

Stick with it...I agree with PP that you shouldn't give up...the pattern looks like it's very doable for your skill level. One thing I learned early on about patterns...crochet patterns in particular...is that it's really a lot easier if you take everything very literally. Most of my mistakes...

I was thinking about making a few felted bags. I've knitted an oversized bag before and then put it in the washing machine to shrink it, and wondered if a crocheted piece would work in a similar way? I was thinking that a double crochet piece might end up being too "holey" and need lining whereas...

I plan on making a baby blanket that I want to last for many years. I'd like to have white be the main color, but I wonder if it would yellow. Would wool or cotton be better for this? Or should I consider a different color? BB
