I just found this group again after being gone a few years (Hi, Mirjam !!). I was reading thru the posts and was fascinated by the ones about a journal. What a simple way to keep track of my crochet projects !. I started my journal today - I already had the notebook, the plastic sheet protectors,...

I picked this up yesterday, it's just out from Martingale, "The little box of sweaters". http://ssl2.adhost.com/patchwork/merchant.cfm?pid=614&step=4 20 designs, and I liked at least 12 of them. I started on the "graceful shell" http://www.martingale-pub.com/Catalog/B655_g3-2.jpg last night...

Hello, RCTYers. It is another chilly morning in Labrador. Would you believe it, I had to wear my flannelette nightie to bed last night? On the bright side, it makes meal planning simpler, as we can still eat the traditional winter meals. I hope you all have a great Sunday and a wonderful last week...

As I mentioned in another post, I've started on a new project: my first time ever knitting a Fair Isle patterned object. I'm doing a dog sweater since I figured: a) it's smaller than a human sweater so will go faster and b) if I make a mistake, the poochie recipient won't register any...

I was wondering if anyone else on the group had attended the Fiber Thing wool market and workshop yesterday in Shawano, WI. LL Weisse

I recieved the squares from Liz today. They are so pretty. These are the first knit ones I have. She also sent me a notecard. Thanks Liz. Carol Ann in West Virginia

Temporary offer, while I *can*... (and this entirely depends on Don's treatment schedule) while Martin is revamping, I can post pix ... but here's the scoop: ASK me before sending me anything, and ask me NICE! 1. they must be .jpg or .gif... NO btmp's or bmp's or png's. 2. they must be 400 X...

Hi everyone! You do not believe this. I just came home from Aino's place. She was online and put some tightening yarns to curtain in her window. And then...then she disappeared into her living room. When she came back, she had a bag of yarns with her. Without any warning she just dropped few of...

This week is going to be very busy for me since I work as a Prep Cook in a busy restaurant. Baking all the Dinner Rolls, Pies, etc. Slicing tomatoes, onions, etc. Making meat loafs, scalloped potatoes with ham, etc. Soups. Etc.Etc.Etc.Etc.Etc.Etc.Etc.Etc.Etc.Etc..Need to get stocked up and ready...

I happened to read the May 21st entry in this gal's blog, and absolutely LOL!! She's got a real plan for her WIPs.....hope it works! http://www.nwkniterati.com/movabletype/blog/ (still chuckling), Karen G.

Hi, I'm afraid this is a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway..... How long can yarn in a stash be expected to last? Years? I know I've bought some older yarn from individ's online & it was kind of brittle or fragile, if you know what I mean..... Just curious,

Anyone on the planet can enter any of the Creative Arts contests at the Great State Fair of Texas. Registration deadline is usually the first week in August and they do allow mail in entries. http://www.bigtex.com/creativearts.html The web site is not updated yet but will be in about three...

Well, I finished two projects this month, and am working on 2 more, including the 6 x 6 squares. I made 2 afghans for Project Linus, in the memories of my sons Marine friend who got killed this month, and one for a friend at work who lost his son in a motorbike accident.....I put picture of the...

I've put some pictures of my latest FOs on my blog. http://mini.demon.co.uk/~sarah/archives/000316.htm There are two hats, one knitted in the round on four needles, and one knitted flat on two needles. There's also the felted bag i knitted from the Stitch and Bitch book. *Trying to keep busy...

The gal I took to the YS today chose some "Easter grass" yarn (for lack of a better idea) as her take-home. The stuff is some sort of nylon with bits hanging out that resemble nothing as much as shreds of Easter grass. She's going to make a funky hat for herself out of the stuff, having learned...

Hi everyone! New ones, be welcome. The ones with finished projects, congratulations. I am so happy for you. I've been knitting and stitching all day and night. Such a lovely feeling!!! I have made at least 2 red squares tonight. Yeee-haaaaaaw! *tappity-tappity-tippity-tappity...spinning waltz* I...

I have done a couple of "samples" of the "Bee Stitch" and I LIKE the way it looks. I'd like to do a project using that stitch...but here is what I am wondering: Is the "Bee Stitch" as flexible as the stockinette? That is, what I want is to maybe try it in a shell where I don't actualy "shape" the...
