Hi Everyone! I have posted a brand new free pattern on the site a few minutes ago. It is a bookmark made from Glittery cotton thread. It works up fairly fast. Hope you like it! http://www.jpfun.com/patterns/index.shtml

I was browsing the internet and i came across this adorable applique, and i was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how they did it? Please and thanks! http://www.quiltware.com/images/crochet_ice_cream_cone.jpg

We have summer here! More than 20 degrees C! The fiord lies as a mirror below me! This is an older montage, but it is JUST like this! http://community.webshots.com/photo/59216980/59227234ucPPwd I SHOULD have done something in my garden, but I prefer to enjoy the day, knitting in the sun! I try to...

Katherine, I really don't know yet, but I think the socks would have been "tighter" with fixation, yarn, and may be I have to change number of stitches or someting. But that is no problem for us "good old sock knitters", Katherine!;-) We do what we have to do, don't we? LOL!! AUD ;-))

Double Trouble Afghan is almost done!! Only a couple of more days and it will be. Sorry people, i have no way of getting a picture of it online. Then i can get back to knitting that large tablecloth that i have started! bart

Hi y'all. I scored a "multi-flower" and a "mini-flower" today at the thrift store but couldn't find an instruction sheet so have *no* idea how to "weave" on the things. What's the chance of somebody on the list having instructions or knowing where I can find them? Michelle Who received her box...

I just recieved 2 lbs of Merino from Morehouse Farm. One of the suggestion from an article written by Moira Z Wilson entitled Merino and it's Kin reprinted from Precious Fiber Magazine, May 1986, suggests sewing a pound of fleece into a pillowcase and taking to the dry cleaner to clean. Has anyone...

I was wondering if anyone keeps either a knitting or crocheting journal. I am thinking about setting up one for myself but don't know what type of information I should be putting into it. Any help would be appreciated. Darlene in Toronto http://members.rogers.com/craftkitten Sent using Virtual...

Hi, Is it a good idea to finish a knitted square with a round of crochet? It seems like a good way to get the size right to me, if you aim to knit it slightly smaller than 6".What is the general consensus? Thanks, Sue -- Sue in East Anglia, UK

I just had a depressing conversation with my grandmother today. Unfortunately she has joined the camp of those people in the world who think the public school system is the only thing in existance that can teach my autistic son and that I am going to be doing him more harm than good...

Jana I have sent you two e mails -re our being May 6x6 partners - but have not had a reply - did you receive them ? I am looking forward to hearing from you God bless Gwen -- Gwen Kelly

Hi ladies! Guess what? My squares for 6x6 are done. Now all I must do is pack them, put the stamps, write the address and drop to the mailbox. Then my part is officially done. I do not know about Katherine, but if she hears me...No rush, Katherine. No rush. *speaks into microphone but is not sure...

Hi all, I know you will have lots of good advice. I'm almost done with my shawl and have started binding off the last row. I had about 25 stitches to go when I got to the end of the skein (I'm kicking myself for not starting a new one a couple of rows back but I was too lazy to go roll it into a...

Hi gang. My sister is really having problems with these. She was on oestrogen for years and now has to be off of it. She is really suffering now. She tried the drugstore and bought a kit that has evening primrose in it. She asked me to see if any of you might have other herbal remedies the do work,...

I am so thrilled, I just bought an overlocker. Sewing up is a hated job and I am looking forward to doing it neatly and safely once I learn how to use it:) O doing a happy dance:))

I am always filled with reflection and a sort of respect(don't know how to express this!) when I see how like we are; how we think the same thoughts and have the same reasons and motives; accross borders, oceans and culture differences! Laurie, what you say, you said for me! I will just add...
