Just sharing a bit. In the midst of a very hectic morning I ended up at the LNS (where I occasionally work - though not lately) to talk about hockey tix with the owner - of course. She just got in a shipment from The Victoria Sampler (hadn't been carrying them for a while). So, I just had to...

Just came from home Wallmart. It is true, they are doing away with the DMC floss. They now carry about 25-30 skeins of Anchor floss.I asked the sales person and she said that the 20-to 30 colors were "ALL" they were going to carry. I guess it's back to Michaels since my LNS closed. Amber in...

I've become addicted to reading the UK magazines, especially Stitch. Well, now it's going to get expensive. I want a Prym Flower loom. It looks far more flexible than any thing I can find from a US company. And as of right now, they don't sell it in the...

I finished Furry friends, , a Dimensions kit, earlier this month. I had taken my 2yo DGD to Nordic Needle and this is what she picked out. She knew it was to be for her 3rd birthday. The girls at Michael's picked out the outer matting...fur-textured! It really added to the picture. Pics posted...

Three of the four colors of "tree" are done on the wolf. Still have to backstitch some branches, and part of the wolf, but I think this will be done in plenty of time for Christmas. -- Karen C - California www.CFSfacts.org where we give you the facts and dispel the myths Finished 12/14/05 -...

Someone mentioned this book in a previous post and there was a question whether it was a combination of her two previous books. Here is a description of the book given in the Nordic Needle newsletter. Mavia This book on stumpwork is THE ultimate for this technique. "The Complete Book of...

What do you all do to "clear the palate" between big projects? Or do you feel the need to? sometimes I take a deliberate break after a big stitching to do some simple ornaments. At the moment I also have a travel project of "Miss Mary Mack" going - just black silouette stitching so it's...

I'd like to get outside opinions from knitting enthusiasts on my new web site. Please don't mistake this for an advertisement, because it is not. I'm trying to get feedback so I can make some important decisions regarding the site, www.vintage-knitting-patterns.com. If anyone would be so kind as...
