DH wants me to ask: HOW does one PROOVE their yarn IS handspun? TIA, Noreen -- STRIP * tease * to email me.

I've got some beautiful Briggs & Little 5 strand roving..... would you spin it 5 stranded, or would you separate them? TIA Noreen who is 'thinking' that she should separate them..... -- STRIP * tease * to email me.

Wow, who would have thought an innocent attempt to sell a loom could have caused so much dissention. This is a new web-site for me and I was merrily going along my way enjoying the recommendations of where to buy yarns etc. It never entered my wee head that someone touting where to purchase yarns...

Has just been relegated to the frogpond. It is a circular afghan on #8 needles in Brown Sheep Cotton Fine. I'm up to about 2500 stitches and the freaking thing is barely 4' across, and I've got 6 skeins of yarn left, plus the two balls I'm working now. Ribbit! Ribbit!

Hello CNN ladies I received Nora's January squares on Christ mas Eve - and that was not the only thing she sent to me - thank you again Nora, The squares were just fabulous and they were crochet ! Since I do not have that skill i am just drooling over them - and the colours too. God ...

Well, this has been strange. My ng server started misbehaving this morning. Now, for a number of posts, I get the message that Outlook Express is no longer able to retrieve the message. As well, many of the messages I got appeared to be from different people. So if I have missed anyone replying...

Hi group, the doc was just here and seems pleased with Mom'[s progress. He said she was doing better here than if she'd been in hospital. Still some crackling in her chest, but there is improvement. Star love, Norma

Mom is coming along slowly, and Sis will be in hospital for at least now. They want a cardiologist to see her, and then I'm guessing that she will have to stay for more tests. You all are doing a great job with the prayers. Will you keep it up for a while longer, please? The other day, when Mom...

I am "me" again, after some days in be( just a flu). A bit to late for Christmas wishes, but still! I want to thank you all for a wonderful year with new friends! Hope next year will bring us even more friendship and joy!!! I wish you all the best for you and your dearest the new year! My little...

Sorry, guys. Katherine

Hi ladies! The past weeks have been unbelievable. First one good friend of mine, Ilona, came to visit at home. She's pregnant and she told me she has knitted a lot lately. At the same time I had been doing the same thing, I mean knitting. So I told her "So, it is you sending me all this knitting...

I am a happy, happy fiber junkie this week. My parents (who really shouldn't have done this, they don't have lots of money) went and bought me an Ashford Kiwi and a lovely pear takhi spindle and bowl for Christmas. My first wheel - for that matter, my first spindle that I didn't make myself! I...

I have a large stock of antique spinning wheels for sale. I sell them very inexpensively at only $115 each or 2 for $200 plus shipping. They are complete and in "as-found" condition, meaning dusty and with original patina. No missing parts. If interested email me at or...

Has anyone ever made a doily or a table runner for a coffee table out of yarn? I am not able to crochet well enough using crochet cotton and those small needles. I was wondering how it would look. If you haven't, maybe you can give me your opinions. Would it look better if I used sport...

Hi, I'm just about done crocheting a bedspread of granny squares. I'd like to crochet a scalloped edge but can't seem to find how to do that. Could someone point me in the right direction on the net, or suggest how I could do that? With thanks, LR

HA HA MADE YOU LOOK YOU BULLY ****S

Anybody know where I can find the pattern for the aran sweater Julia Robert's wears in the Runaway Bride movie. TIA.

I'm on the home stretch with the Aran. I got the one sleeve knitted down to the ribbing - finished the last few rounds this morning, actually. I've picked up the second sleeve and I'm 8 rounds to the good on it. Quite possibly I'll have all but the ribbing finished by knitting tomorrow night and...

Hi ladies! The boss told me today that my next day at work is on Monday. Waahoueeeh!!!!!! Guess who is gonna knit during this break? Of course I should take care of driving's theory too...and I will read, I promise that. Knitting just is so fascinating I can not resist it. Mr. Freeze is coming...
