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

Hi Everyone, Since Wooly and Noreen were talking about yarn and the weight, I thought I would let you know what is happening with the Red Heart Super Saver, it's being downsized too. A couple weeks ago I was at Walmarts and picked up a skein of blueberry pie and one of plum pudding. I thought the...

Hi, I have chosen a very simple pattern for a child's pullover. It's from Pattons "Happy Days" #684. On page 12, called Up, Up, and Away. It calls for Patons Astra, which I don't have and can't get, but I do have Wendy Peter Pan four ply. Will this work? Sorry if it's a silly question. My...

I am knitting two-at-a-time socks on a long 47" circular. I prefer Knit Picks Harmony needles and so that's what I'm using. They are #2. The sock yarn is a really boring midnight navy superwash merino 75%, 25% nylon. I'm making them for my hubby. I like to make colorful socks for myself or my...

Hello, I have a question about copyright law and patterns. I have been thinking about this for a bit. Lets say I decided to get creative and design a sweater. The sweater I am designing (not really but pretend with me) has a 2" ribbing and cables on the front, back and sleeves. The cables...

I am SO ticked off at DHL, the USPS and the VitaminShoppe! I placed an order at the Vitamin shoppe last monday, the 26th, early in the day, which 'they' claim for one that I placed on the 27th. They FINALLY acknowledged my order on the 29th, stating that it had been shipped on the 28th. They gave...

Hi All, I am new here. Been a knitter for years, mostly for the children when they were smaller. I got my one and only knitting machine in 1983- thats long gone. The grankids are now around so I want to start off and knit again. I am looking for a second hand machine. Perhaps someone has one...

I know there's a special day for that, but I may have missed it. Anyway, I was knitting in the car, knitting in Humpty's and Smitty's and I knitted in the X-Ray lab. I needed to knit as much as possible, and it was fun! Murielle

I put a knitting sheath with 2 sets of steel DPN on eBay. Aaron

Historical documents I have just come across, claim that dogwood is the right wood for making knitting needles. Better than- Dare I say it? - ROSEWOOD. Any experience with dogwood knitting needles? Anyway, I am making some. The green wood is very easy to split and work, but hardens as it drys. ...

The project is to learn to knit on too long, too thin DPN - with the lower point of the right kneedle secured in a "knitting stick" which holds the right needls stabile, and most of the stitch formation performed with the left needle. The yarn is controlled with the right hand. Why ? Becaue they...

Hi group, I wonder if anybody can help me find somewhere in the UK where I can buy a small carding machine. My partner, Cath, had a quick go on one at a craft fair and now has asked for one for her xmas present! We have some Alpaca wool to card ready for spinning and weaving. I have not told...

I just want to remind everyone that when you're trying to sterilize the plastic parts of a nubulizer in boiling water, you must not - I repeat: MUST NOT - go to the computer and read your newsgroups. Since the newsgroup is much more interesting than watching water boil I forgot about it until the...

You can always substitute, but you need to keep a few things in mind. 1. You get what you pay for. 2. Any time you change the yarn, you change the character of the item. The designer(s) chose that yarn for a reason - can you duplicate the project with different yarn? 3. You get what you pay for...

Iran objects to stop developing the Atom, and promises the world that if any sanctions will be made against them , they will shoot rockets to my country, not to yours. In the first Gulf War , the coalition fought Iraq, and we got the Rockets, not yours. And you call me sanctimonious, i am just...
