Just got my Big Book Of HandSpinning today, I must say, Amazon dot com was 12 dollars cheaper than anyone else, AND had free shipping.... which they said would take 4 to 8 days, and I got it in two. DH has ONE more thing to do to my wheel, then I'm going to give it a whirl over the...

Hi all, I'm working a pair of slippers in crochet for my sister but I've come to a point in the pattern where I am very confused. The pattern gives instructions on how to work a Bubble stitch: 3 times, YO and pull through all loops. Sounds simple enough but..... when I start working the...

Hi everyone Just wanted to touch base with you all and catch up on my obligations. I hope Jenn receives her package soon and one went off to Nora as well so please keep an eye out, Nora. OT bit: The last week has been like a horrible limbo- Dsis was lavished with attention in hospital and her...

Nora, Your squares are finished. I hope you like them. I am very happy with them. The will be in the mail tomorrow. Your friend, Dennis

Got the message today that my old mother(91) is seriously ill. Nothing unexpected, I have waited for a few days (on the recomandation from doctors), but now I have to get a plain as soon as possible. Take care, see you later! AUD --

I'm off to the show, y'all won't see me until Sunday. Wish me luck!

Hi, I find with my arthritis that wooden knitting needles are more comfortable than steel. Does anyone know of a web-site that discusses making needles by hand, or do you have any experience? I've found a couple of sites, but am still looking for more! Thanks Shirley

Hi Cher, I posted twice yesterday saying that I received two lovely 6x6 squares from Aud, but neither posting showed up (as far as I can see, anyway). Then I posted as a reply to another thread, and that one did show up. Now I'm trying again to post as a new message. One way or another, I hope...

Hi everyone, I received the following email from Gem. and she asked me to forward it to you. Hi Norma, Would you please share this with the rest of the newsgroup for me? I'm sorry for not writing to you much sooner, but I couldn't find your email

Has the new secret pal started??? Did I miss out!!!!!! Maggie, madly knitting in the desert!

I hope this isn't an inappropriate place to post this. But I'd love to pick the brains of any of you that has owned or operated a needlework store. It is kind of a dream of mine and I'm having such a hard time finding employment, I wonder if I should look at employing myself! I just have a...

Why, aside from its general hairiness, why I so intensely dislike hairy mohair yarn: I have had, in one eye, an individual super-fine kid mohair fiber ALL DAY. I know it is there, it occasionally swims across my field of vision but by the time I get to a mirror I've had to blink and it is off...

Hello again to all RCTYers! I finally caught up with the messages (can't bear to not at least glance at them all) - my, what a hive of activity. Welcome to those who have delurked; congratulations to those with new family additions; wishes for good health and good recoveries to those who are...

Mirjam, Happy New Year to you too. Hugs, Your twin, Nora

First things first. Jacqueline, your 2 squares...Situation now: The 1st one is done. Second one will be done in the near future, I promise. And then the reason to the subject line...My health is not the best one, you know. At the moment my chest feels tight again. It should not be tight, not now!...

I finally found socks!!! I'm in sock heaven. I can't wait to start crocheting some of these. If anyone else is interested let me know and I'll post the sites I found them on. Happy Crafting, Cori -- Delete nospam to email me back

what can be made with this type of yarns,rayon,nylon,wool ,and rayon/acrylic yarn.Do anyone have any ideas.could someone let me know.Stella

She looks adorable. Congratulations to all three of you. I shouldn't worry about the hand-sucking and nuzzling too much as it needn't mean that she is starving hungry- my daughter did the same thing- it's probably her way of comforting herself and she's likely been doing it for months on the...
