Pattern from _Folk Shawls_, a book I'm pretty sure I'll knit my way through over the course of the next 10 years :D I made the shorter version (just a matter of knitting fewer repeats) and ended up with something pushing 7' (yes, seven feet) in length. This is half of it as seen thrown over my...

Hi all, Hope you are all well. If any of you sell hand knitted,crocheted, fiber crafts, what type of content and care label do you have? ( for my use only) I was reading a "Sell Your Crafts" book and there are Federal Trade Laws about labels on fiber content and care. I did have a few things that...

A clever friend of mine once said to me that "we are too inteligent , to laugh off , all the beliefs , of the former generations". Some beliefs had reason , good for their time. Nothing is Silly , it is just out of it`s time .. mirjam AND, maybe it was a Chicago thing, but the church my Dad...

Hello? It's a bit quiet in here today. I've been at the dye pot again. I now have a nice wad of Teal alpaca: http://www.vintagepurls.net.nz/images/misc/tealAlpaca.jpg Yes, it is that vibrant - I love jewel tones. I'm very tempted to do some silk in the same colour and mix the two - hmmm. It's...

Well, my SIL loved the beaded sweater. It was a bit big in the back so she opted to use snaps instead of buttons so she could cinch it in a bit more. I will make adjustments on the next outfit. On my SIL's doll forum, it's delightful how life stories are spun around the beautiful dolls in great...

Sigh. Yes, it has happened again. This makes 4 (or is it 5?) times I am ripping out this &(*$#@&%$*& purple chenille! UGH. I was making a beret that I thought would be gorgeous with the scarf, but it ended up big enough to swallow if I opened my mouth. So---I like the basic idea, the banded edge...

As I've mentioned earlier, I will definitely be holding a Subversiv syslöjd (subversive handcrafts) workshop at the rock festival this summer. Since most of the festival visitors will be from either Sweden or nearby countries, they will almost certainly have learned the basics of crochet, etc. in...

Yesterday I took my youngest with me to one of my not-so-local yarn shops. They were having a Tax Day sale, with lots of yarn on sale for at least 35% off, and I had to see what they had to offer On the table outside was some Rowan Biggy Print in a pink and white that Sarah just kept...

Please give Dennis a call, not tragedy going on. :) Dennis

A stack of mittens were on the drying rack for my ski buddies, so time to get on with the next gansey. It is a stitch pattern that I have messed up before, so there was a practice swatch. The yarn I used for practice is an oiled Canadian yarn that has been spun just the same way since the days of...

I don't post here often, but I do read all the wonderful help and advice offered. So I hope you won't mind me asking for some help. I have several sets of Addi Turbo circular needles for sock knitting, but the shop I bought from does not carry their straight needles and I cannot find an...

and for once it is actually still morning as I type this! 10:24 am to be precise and I am half-way through my first cup of tea for the day. Today it is green tea with lemon that I received as a Yule present from a not-so-little-anymore guy. I delivered most of my advertising circulars yesterday...

A LYS had a big sale and I picked up 6 skeins of Checkheaton Merino 4ply Bambino......I love how it feels but the only color they had was kelly green......my best friend loves green so I have enough to make a Hat and Mittens.....but I would love to have this yarn in other colors but after doing...

Some of my family is Catholic and they've got an ongoing argument query about placing a statue of Joseph in your yard when trying to sell your home. SOME say you bury him upside down, some say you bury him facing away from the home, and some say you do both. Anybody know? I personally don't...
