Hello, I'm new to the group. I have a question about Lion Brand Wool-Ease (4 ply worsted weight 20% wool 80%acrylic). I am thinking of using that as the major yarn in a sweater, plus for the minor pattern some very expensive hand spun/hand dyed wool. I have found the perfect color in the...

Hey all, I have a book that consists of 63 different patters for squares that are 7x7. There are some really pretty patterns, and I wanted to use them for my 6x6 squares. Having read in a prior post that it's better for the squares to be smaller than 6x6 than to be bigger, I need to know how...

Hello everybody I just wanted to write because you all seem to be much wiser than me in lots of things, and since I don't have a mother to get any advice from, I consider you the next best thing. :) I finally got some time to myself today. I was excited at the thought because I have an aran...

I have finally given up on the hope that the baptismal gown will be ready for Amira. So, I will keep at it, maybe we'll have another child, or maybe I can give it to our first grandchild. :) However, Amira needs something special for her baptism. Since I can't sew (though I'd like to), I will...

Readers of rec.crafts.textiles.yarn: My great grand-parents immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1900's and my great grandmother would spin her own wool. We still have her handspindle and a "stick" about 3' long and 3/4 " in diameter with what looks like a fineal that sits on top of the stick. ...

Some one was looking for a basic sweater pattern, and i came across this site......WOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!!! http://www.knittingfool.com/pages/SW2.cfm bart

I am making a pair of socks for my daughter-in-law using the Regia jacquard yarn. I LOVE IT!! I am delighted with the rows of colors and fair isle effect achieved by simply knitting an ordinary pattern. Am I the only one????

I would just like to alert this group to a newly formed group that makes blankets for children and adults at risk, in shelters, or in need of extra support. Currently we are working on projects for babies and preemies. Later in the summer we will be making blankets for Pine Ridge Reservation in...

I have done several of them, I think the best is that they "grow fast"! I like to make sock in two or more coloures, and this is a nice and rapid way! AUD ;-)

.... and now I leave for a weekend at the south coast, to celebrate my nephew's confirmation May 2. I wish you all a wonderful day, and send you theese flowers...in RED,of course! http://www.fascinationsoftware.com/SR/media/Pics/y768/Flowers_red-5.jpg AUD ;-))

....and she wouldn't sell me the heavenly felted deep teal green beret with a gorgeous kumihimo braid swirling around it! ;) Believe me, folks, it was out of this world. I bought three more sock patterns after being determined not to! AND the book of patterns I didn't realize I needed when I...

Hi all. I'm spitting mad about an order I placed with Patternworks, and want to vent and find out if this is typical of their service. I placed on order online with Patternworks on the night of April 14. They received it April 15, shipped it April 16. Here it is May 1, and I don't have it yet. They...

I'd been counting on nice weather for the "Sheep and Wolf" festival but my mother wants to come up on Saturday since the forecast is for thunderstorms Sunday -- and it's predicted to be in the 80s Saturday! I hate trying on sweaters when it's hot. Sigh. Oh well. I'll make sure to stop by Indigo...

I won't be online for the next couple of days, but wanted to report my FO's for the month. (Definitely better than last month!) 6 6x6 squares my NYCO project - the Eros scarf from Plymouth I finished the knitting of the baby sweater Haiku, but still need to sew on the buttons which I just bought...

I confess to being absolutely fascinated by the SoySilk, Ingeo Silk, and Bamboo Silk. Has anyone here used these yarns, and how do they feel and hold up? I can't decide whether to do a scarf, sweater, or what, but I MUST knit something out of Soy Silk!

Wow! I just found this group and couldn't wait to join in. I actually discovered the group about a few months ago, but my isp didn't carry newsgroups so I was stuck reading it on google. What a pain! Finally changed isps and now it's way more convienent to read... and post. I guess I should...
