So I've gotten to the heel and the instructions read: Round 1 (Eyelet round): (k2tog, yo) 7 times, sk2p, yo, *k2tog, yo* Heres my problem: repeat to last st, slip st knitwise, slip 1 st st from next needle, pass first slip st over last st and replace st on next needle. (28 sts) I just dont have...

I'm knitting-in-the-round a flip-top mitten (like the Broad Street mittens at http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall02/PATTbroadstreet.html but not that pattern). After getting close to the fingers, you knit the palm stitches onto store them on a string holder, then knit the back stitches, then cast...

It has been interesting to read your thoughts on lent. I grew up Catholic, so I know first-hand about giving things up! But then someone shared the real reason for Easter with me: the fact that Jesus died to pay for each of our sins so we could go to heaven when we die. I don"t "DO" religion...

This is reading week, so I am in Labrador, enjoying real winter at alst. Cold, but crisp and clean. I can drink water again without having to buy it in bottles. Not much knitting time, but at least I am in my own bed for a few days. I will check in regularly, as I do have a bit more unassigned time...

New Years day I cast on for a traditional Cornish Seaman's gansey using "Fisherman's Wool" (930 yd/lb.) at a gauge of 8+ spi. I have made a point of only working on it a few hours per day as I help my wife watch movies in the evening. (Bad movies result in the most progress. Good movies result...

Hi again all--- I have read just about every post since the beg. of the year and I can't find the one I posted a couple of weeks ago about the 'oddball' sweater that I am working on. Some of you replied, and I didn't get a chance to read them all; there was a website that someone posted a link to;...

Very pretty and is a crochetedG http://home.comcast.net/~gandal195/MoebiusShawlPattern.htm

Since I have been reading here I notice comments about knitting at a speed of and I just want to know what the reason for knitting fast is? Do the speed knitters do this because they have a forced timetable .......like making samples for yarn shops, competitions or for selling. My situation...

I answered Dennis in another thread, and sent these links! But may be some of you, who do not follow that link ,also would like to bookmark some patterns for later use. As far as I can see, are all these patterns "genuine" moebius, (NOT scarfs "turned and grafted" together) here is the link for...

Hello everyone; I'm so glad to have found this group again! I went from dialup to cable. I know some of you have made the Odd-ball sweater, knit from the top down, and then each sleeve is divided and then short rows knitted; again short rows for the bottom two triangles. I've just finished the...

Here they are. If you go to http://s142.photobucket.com/albums/r116/Brenna1508/ and scroll down the first page the pictures we've just taken are there. (I know I've entered them last one first but I was in a rush and can correct later). Bernadette

The power goes on and off. As of this morning it looks crusty, some of the interstates are shut down. Later we're suppose to get more of it. My daughter left town on Friday, she's about 2 hours away. Don't know how she'll get home. Kids don't listen when you tell them not to kind of thing....

I've finished the right side of my baby sweater, and now the instructions say to bind off four stitches to begin the neckline. I understand how to bind off, but when the instructions say 'four stitches', I'm confused. Since you knit or purl two stitches, then by binding off those two stitches,...

So far , it is going quite well , had 2 froggings , of one time forgot to knit 2 tog , and one time made 2 extrs unneeded thread over needle holes ,]... the pattern is FANTASTIC ,,, the decision to strat it top down and where to start each new pattern as it develops and more stiches are...

Millie I'm sorry but I didn't think to offer you details of the stitch I used. It is a simple 8 row pattern with across repeats over 6 stitches. The version I used was adjusted for knitting in the round. If you want to use the pattern for a scarf using two needles then I recommend that you cast...

Just a quick note this Sunday afternoon to say hi and catch up on 'things'. I've been really busy, which as our Katherine will attest, is nothing 'new', LOL! I've oodles of things going on, and it appears that that's not going to end or even slow down anytime soon. Ya'll got me back in the moebius...

Can anyone give advice on composition of yarn for baby clothes, a baby blanket, and a shawl please? I'm thinking wool should probably be avoided because of allergy issues - is acrylic really the best? I'm in the UK and need advice on where to source suitable yarn, also. I live in London, which...

A couple of comments from the thread "Alpaca and lace vent" --- Enigma: "...there's no US market for US grown alpaca fiber." WoolyGooly: "...as Lee said there's no North American market for North American-grown alpaca. The things are "designer livestock". When they first started getting...
