I'm looking for a knitter that can make my daughter some gloves.. Not regular gloves, they need to have the half fingers, with mitten tops to cover up her fingers.. she's a flute player and her fingers are freezing.. Thanks Marsha

Hi Ria! Could you please let Mirjam know that my Mother just called to tell me that she just received the package Mirjam sent her? She absolutely LOVES the cross, and the needlepoint will have to wait, as the feeling in her hand won't allow her to 'do' it.... perhaps this is a job for her DD#1...

I know that there is a recipe to make clay for the kids to play with but what about paint? I want the kids to paint something Christmas on my porch windows. Thanks, Carol In WI

I'm almost finished making my first ever sock. The instructions tell me to decrease till there are 14 stitches left, divide them equally between two needles (so far, so good) and then weave them together using kitchener stitch. I can't find any information on what this means so I'm just going to...

Sorry I missed so many birthdays, but I want to wish everyone who has had one recently, a lovely one for each of you. Star love Norma

Hello everyone - just had to tell you that today Australia reached a population of twenty million - it is said a baby born at 2 am in Brisbane became the one to make it to twenty million. God Bless Gwen -- Gwen Kelly

Hi all, I was just reading the knitlist from a couple of days ago (yep, I get behind on those, too) and came across a posting for a knit angel dishcloth. With Christmas coming up, I thought that many of you might be interested in this. ...

Hi! I'm way behind in all my correspondence, and way behind in NG followups, so just wanted to collectively welcome and say hi to all the new poster's in RCTY. Hugs, Noreen -- STRIP * tease * to email me.

I know this is RCTN thing but...can not help myself. Must tell you too. You know, I have learnt something from you. The terms we use about yarn are not the same. You determine the yarn like this: "fingering weight, baby weight, worsted weight..." etc. We determine it like...The ball has a paper...

Coming out of lurkdom to ask... Has anyone made an Eros scarf from this pattern? It's at http://www.plymouthyarn.com/home/freepatterns.html The pattern says I need to double the Eros. What is the best way to do this? Is there a better pattern to use? (I've already cut the strands for the fringe...

I am making a scarf and the pattern calls for a row of reverse single crochet in the front loops of a foundation row of single crochet, then going back, a row of single crochet in the back loops. I have looked all over and can only find information about reverse single crochet as an edging, so what...

I'm working on a pattern that says to knit one, then knit one in the row below. In the row below? I just don't get it. I've tried 3 times, and ended up ripping it all out. It looks like a mess! I went to two sites to get directions, but I still don't...

My boyfriend found this knitting machine at a yard sale, and I'm dying to use it. I can't find any info on it, but it looks like the Brother machines made in the late 1970's. It came with punch cards, but of course no manual. I used a Bond machine about 15 years ago and the movement on this is...

I want to learn to knit socks and I have tons of resources at my disposal as far as patterns, etc. But, what I really would like input on is; what is the best wool to use for socks? I know there are going to be differing opinions on here, but I know this is the place to ask. I'm not looking...

Hi everyone; For the most part my knitting has always been for the winter, but I was thinking about making some summer tops. (Interesting that I would be thinking of summer tops today, considering it's snowing like crazy outside.) I have a couple of bags of 100% cotton. Some of it's Sugar 'n...

Searched for a newsgroup for hand knitting and did not see one. So I gave it a shot and read a few posts in this 'yarn' one. Seems like you would be the folks to ask. I picked up my knitting needles after MANY years (hmmm, when my oldest was 2.... ooops.. way too many). I am making a scarf....

OK, I have a teeny brag. It isn't that big a deal except that I'm a new knitter and it pleased me to no end. I did some really cute purses and felted them and when I took them into my LYS to show the owner (who is the neatest person!) everyone just raved at how cute they were and couldn't get...

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well. A quick question about knitting some Christmas decorations- i want to knit a couple of holly leaves and berries and i wondered if any of you had any patterns to hand. I guess i can do the berries as red bobbles, and i suppose (read hope) that if i sit down...
