Four rows short of finishing a project, I've discovered the color of yarn I'm using is no longer available. If anyone has a skein (or more) in their stash that they no longer need, I'd be happy to purchase it via Paypal. It's Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride BULKY in color M36 (a soft, medium...

Hi everybody, I'm new around here. I do a lot of work outside during the winter (brrrrrr), and I have been wanting to knit my own pair of long john pants to wear under my work pants. (I am thinking about alpaca as a fiber). But I haven't had any luck finding a pattern. Does anyone know of...

Georgia spun a FINE 'yarn': I wanted to buy some Fair Isle socks for DS--and yeah, $16 plus shipping would be much less of an investment than the time it would take to knit them--and I saw some in the Garnet Hill catalog. But they turned out to be 43% nylon, and that seemed like too much....

DAB spun a FINE 'yarn': Morning all.....I have been scouring the net for chunky weight Hat patterns and stumbled on this site: http://www.knitlist.com/95gift/foota.htm So thought I would post it here. Donna

WoolyGooly spun a FINE 'yarn': The current "trendy" cap for both girls and boys of middle- and high school age seems to be a modified helmet, similar to the one shown in the link below only without the chin strap. Maybe I'm just seeing them more because I've been thinking about laying off...

Sabra'sWife spun a FINE 'yarn': Greetings Group, I am ready to learn a new craft. For years I've wanted to knit. Well, I'm all thumbs and left handed. I am hoping I can find a group which will work with me as I try to knit one purl two. Welcome aboard! I'm left-handed, but knit and...

Now that i read your description i know i have seen people do it , only it didn`t have this name ,,,, not that i can recall them calling it anything but a changeable heel , and the woman who was doing it indeed prepared 2 spare ones ,,, which she later would graft in place of the one that got...

when i was in 7th grade, waaaaaay back in the late 60s, there was a fad for stocking caps, the caps that have long points that hang down & usually end in a pompom or tassle. the one i had was exceptionally long (4'), so that the tail could be wrapped around my neck to act as a scarf. i think it...

Shirley Shone spun a FINE 'yarn': I was searching google for some pure silk patchwork pieces and I got this site. Not what I was looking for but some lovely yarns. Made me feel as if I wanted to get the needles clicking again. It is a Uk site. http://www.getknitted.com I am not...

Hi to All. I'm Elaine living in California. So how big is your stash? Mine is way too big. I usually have several projects going at once and probably some I have totally forgotten about. I recently am trying to learn to weave on an Inkle loom and have been toying with hand spinning. I just...

Did anyone else attend Stitches this year? Of the 15 that I have attended, this one was the best. So much great yarn, it was hard to resist temptation. 10 hanks of hand dyed cashmere, two hanks of hand dyed angora, enough Prism Wild Stuff for two sweaters and a couple of bags of Berroco yarns...

I'm trying to make a scarf from two strips of hairpin lace, made from a two colors of fairly chunky yarn. I have linked the two strips togeterher and it looks great -- but how do I keep the outer loops from eventually coming undone? They look like they would eventually just work themselves out of...

Where is Anny Blatt yarn manufactered? Thanks, Dawn0
