Hi everyone, I will do the threads exchange if there are enough who want to do it. It's so easy for me to set it up, but the thing that would need to be done is an faq. That I will leave to someone else. I would rather not include it with the 6x6 exchange as there will probably be different people...

Hi all, I hope you all have been enjoying the holiday season and that the New Year brings many wonderful surprises. I had asked this question before, but got no response...which I find hard to believe, so I ask again: Did anyone else submit patterns to the 2006 Crochet Pattern-a-day Calendar in...

Last night I finished the second sleeve on my NYCO sweater. I will hide the ends this afternoon, so I am calling it finished for whoever was keeping up with the NYCO projects. After I block it I'll take a picture and try to find someplace to post it. DH wants me to enter it in the creative...

Hi I figured I would post who I have on the spreadsheet, if I missed anyone please accept my apology as i was away for 5 days. Also let me know what your project is and I will add it to the list. Noreen Eimear Liz Susan C

I DID manage to c/o for my Flower Petal Shawl, as a matter of fact, I'm on row 147! Noreen -- There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics. - Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881), British politician ~paraphrased~ There are three kinds of LIARS: liars, damned liars, and Shrubya. --...

Hej y'all1 If you go to http://www.bt.se/edrum.jsp?article=267437&first=7&pagesize=1&page=6&firsty=1&pagesizey=30&pagey=36 you can (hopefully) see a video that includes some of what I've been doing lately. The video is in Swedish so I expect most of you won't get much from the audio but the vid...

I purchased several weeks ago the 2007 knit calendar that some of us purchase. The one in the box a couple of inches bigger than index cards. I think it is the best on in the last several years. It even has some decent sock patterns. I also used one of the small baby sock patterns for our...

The new year is 17 hours old (in my time zone) and no one has started a NYCO thread, ... so I'll take it upon myself.* While I've sworn to knit something from the stash for every new yarn acquisition, the old-yarn project is on the needles (a child's vest sweater for charity), and I am ready to...

Good way to end off 2005.... we now have 25 photos in the album now. I just got Rusty's picture and added it a couple of seconds ago. :o) If anyone else would like to be added, please send your jpg picture to me at gemsawriter AT yahoo DOT ca and put "RCTY PHOTOS" in the subject line, and the...

Blocked it out last night, and it turned out gorgeous. I'll try to get pix up and posted somewhere soon.... no film in the regular cameras, no film in Don's polaroid, and the elcheapo webcam doesn't have flash... Anyway, this is the 2nd shawl I've made from this yarn, gorgeous heathery crocus...

hi all, thought I'd tell you, I had three super packs arrive from our friend over there in Israel. One envelope contained five back issues of Handwoven.... another envelope had in it sheets of photos of her work. And last but by no means least, an envelope that contained precious blue stoned...

Hi, I live in Montreal, Canada, and I have 30 cross stitch magazines to sell, all in very good condition ! Half of them are in English, the other half is in French (but does it make a difference to read a pattern!?) :-) I sell them all together preferably. The whole list is available upon request.

I'm getting ready to start another shawl, and this pattern says use 5 skeins Phentex or any 3 ply yarn. What is that? I've never looked close at the store, but everything I have at home is 4ply: worsted weight, soft or baby, they're all 4 ply. Thanks Bryan

Well, Inka's sweater is just a plan in my head anymore. Why? I tried to make a hole for the head. But no...no no no. Too small. I had to rip all apart. *sigh* 3rd time!!!!! I think I never get it done. *depressed* Sadly: Pirjo
