Certain somebodies have hunted eggs, gorged on chocolate, and are now lolling on the couch moaning about bellyaches. Shades of Halloween past :D I have finished the body of and picked up the edging for a different, less picky shawl than the Cursed Pi. I will, however, return up the Pi today and...

For anyone concerned about Woolite because it contains bleach, it does not according to the manufacturer. Quoting from the back of my nearly empty container: "WOOLITE Fabric Wash does not contain bleach, phosphates or enzymes, which can be harsh on your clothes." The labeling indicates that...

Hi Gang! I'm almost finished a baby sweater (need to buy and sew on buttons) and a cap for my DIL who is due next month. I used a very bright variegated acrylic yarn in blue/red/orange, with a touch of green here and there. They've been told it's a boy, and she was excited about the bright...

I'm coming to all of you pro's before diving into sock knitting. I've been knitting for years, and have done everything from hats and scarves to sweaters, plus beaded knitting. I've done lots of hats for charity, etc., but would like to have something small and portable to have in my bag for in...

It's finally done! And just in time for some unseasonably chilly weather here in South Mississippi. The pattern is from Vogue Knitting Fall 2006, #19, Margaret O'Leary's Cabled Cardigan. I used Knit Picks Wakashan 100% baby alpaca instead of the cashmere blend called for. It's really...

I've finished the latest jumper which is similar to a pattern I had years ago but which got lost on one of our house moves. From what I remembered I managed to work out something pretty near to the original. It is knitted in Sirdar Double Knitting (equivalent to sportweight) a 100% Acrylic yarn....

I ordered 6 skeins in 3 different colors and should get them by Sat. I was wondering if any here have used this for socks and what you thought. I like Lambs Pride for hats. I started a pair of socks using Opal and didn't like how it felt....not much give or spring so I hope the wildfoote will...

Hi all! I just finished my very first doll clothes project--a beaded white sweater with buttons down the back.I have blocked it and sewn the seams up. My question is this: It needs both a final blocking as well as a washing in Woolite (I presume). Which do I do first? Does the washing essentially...

Oh brother! Serves me right! Got a ton of Lion Brand chenille for $2 a skein at the local Ocean State Job Lot store. Gorgeous stuff, but it's giving me fits to work with! No, not "worming"--Sizing! I was in Fat City while making a lovely ribbed scarf. My troubles began when I decided to make a hat...

Ok, call me proud. Call me nutz. Call me redundant. I finally got the website squared away to show off my little 4-inch sweater! VP was kind enough to help me with the technical parts (I'd rather be knitting) and get 'er up there on the web. It worked out to gauge but I am still concerned it will...

How come we do not do them any more? I had not done any stranded work for awhile, but for the last few days, I have been doing many swatches with stranded boarders and looking at traditional garment designs. Stranded boarders are so practical and decorative! But, I just do not see them in...

GOT your email, quite late, and sent 3 answers, the first that of COURSE I'd do it, the second said here it is, but THEN, doofus me, I wasn't sure if I attached it or not, so sent it a second time in the third email. Noreen --...

Hi there-- I'm a glass maker . I've started to make glass buttons and am wondering if anyone has ideas about where to market them, and more importantly, what're considered the marks of a quality button--short shank, long shank, drilled holes, glued shanks, glass shanks....I really have no idea. ...
