Watching episodes of JAG has brought back Don's old Navy Days, and I'd like to make him a sweater... They were/are called either: Watch Sweater or Foul Weather Sweater. They were/are pullover. Also, I have a sweater purchased years ago from Land's End, called a Fatigue Sweater, pullover with...

Here is a pattern that is very similar. It would not take much imagination to add the tongue piece on the front, then just increase the length of the strap a bit to go through it. http://pages.ivillage.com/patt_m/id8.html -- Hugs, Lynn

Hi all, I seem forever scouring the charity/thrift shops in my never ending search for yarns either for weaving or knitting. Well I turned up trumps last week when I spied 2 x 400 grms balls of Aran navy for a mere one UK pound, they are normally five and a half times that or more for this...

Hi Karen, The suncatches are those things that you hang in the window. DH was in AC Moore and happened to see two that he liked. They have to be painted, something like paint by number, real easy and quick to do, I did both of them within an hour. Let's just say it wasn't my most favorite thing...

It isn't crochet... Piece of quilted cloth of a length to cover the dog. Shaped such that it can wrap comfortably under the belly but leave exposed the business bits *ahem* Velcro or snap at one side. Have the top longer than the belly and add straps round the front legs similar to horse...

Hi again....and thanks for those 2 surprises. I liked them both. I mean it. Really. I have thought that KP is 30-40 years, but she is same age with me. And that KJB's thing...oh boy...I am stunned! Do not misunderstand me now, I mean all this in positive way. But my near future knitting plans....I...

I have a couple of cones of very fine cashmere yarn in a really dull pale yellow colour, and would like to have a go at hand dying them - possibly painting on dye or dipping to make a variegated effect. I know that they will need to be wound into hanks for this, but if any of our dyed-in-the-wool...
