Size 17 - 29" Circular Knitting Needle Recommendation by
Padishar Creel
None, of my local shops have this needle is stock and the websites I
have visited do NOT have a picture of this needle (in plastic handles
only) from Susan Bates. I have a Denise Needle set but it stops at 15.
Any suggestions? I hate some of the circular needles stiff cables so I
would like to...

Happy Saturday by
hesira
Hi all,
Just wanted to pop in & say Hi. The weather here can't make up its
mind. Yesterday, warm & beautiful, today gray and chilly. That's
Spring in the Deep South. Perfect day for sitting with the second sock
of the 1st pair I've made. DH is anxious for a matched pair, so I'm
happy to...

Finished my white gansey, which isn't white by
H Schinske
It's a dark gray, and turned out very nice. It doesn't blouse in quite the
pretty way it does in the Beth Brown-Reinsel book's picture, but there are two
reasons for that -- one being my figure, and one being that I changed the
bottom to a garter welt instead of a rib. Otherwise it fits very...

A "game" of color/colour.... by
Noreen's Knit*che
Scarey, but I had *another* FUN (and funny) range of thoughts....
There are two TV shows, the original Brit version: Changing Rooms, and it's
American "step-child": Trading Spaces.
Okay.... so.... we get to change rooms, or trade spaces... but we get to
'cheat'..... we get to tell each other what...

Seabury socks by
MakeDoMom
This is for MaryAnn,
I've been making your Seabury socks - thank you for the pattern. Using the
worsted makes them quite thick. Do you have any measurements for using thinner
yarn? I'm also going to try a pair using sock yarn and size 1 needles (2.5mm)
and I was wondering how many to cast...

Steps from sheep to yarn by
news.sonic.net
Every year, my MIL gets rid of 5 sheep worth of wool.
What are the steps from sheep to yarn, and is it an expensive hobby to get
into. I would like to hand spin it with a drop spindle, not a wheel.
Where would be a good place to learn this?
TIA!

Fibre Feast by
Vintage Purls
Hello?
It's a bit quiet in here today.
I've been at the dye pot again. I now have a nice wad of Teal alpaca:

Yes, it is that vibrant - I love jewel tones.
I'm very tempted to do some silk in the same colour and mix the two -

knitted squares afghan by
Anna MCM
I found this page:
http://www.napierdot.com/afghan-fr.htm
Maybe it will look just "normal" to our experienced knitters, but it
looks very beautiful to me!
No patterns, alas.
Click the squares to enlarge them.
Possibly there´s a English version of the page, but I couldn´t access to
it, sorry.

Making progress with color by

It certainly has been a struggle, but I think I'm making some progress with
color. Els, I still don't know how you got the back of those patterned
squares you sent me to be so neat, mine look pretty straggly in comparison!
Hopefully that will get better over time. I did do one of my...

Botched Efforts by
MSey
A friend once told me that she never discarded half-done projects, or things
that hadn't turned out right. She saved them and used them for creating
sweaters and knitted clothing for dolls she made. She would also pick up
any half-done projects that sometimes fine their way into garage sales...
