I brushed out all my horses hairs and I saved it. I am thinking about making my daughter a little belt out of it. Adding some beeds and all. Has anyone here ever done this on here before? I was just wondering. Love to have any tips that might help make it easier to do. Well I gotta go. Thanks,

Prayers, good thoughts and vibes... anything that could help in anyway... for my cousin Linda. After going through chemo/radiation for a few months to try to get rid of the cancer that they never did figure out where the source was coming from... she just found out that the cancer is back. ...

Hello! I hope it's ok to post this. I made some soap today and put pictures inside of it. This isn't anything new and you all might have already seen this stuff before. It was new to me tho and I loved doing it. I wanted to make my mom something she didn't already have and something that would...

So I have finished knitting my Branching Out scarf. I read the Yarn Harlot's directions for blocking lace he http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2005/08/23/walk_around_the_block.html I would like to use the method of threading a piece of "smooth yarn" through the stitches along the...

It took a little more time than the first one I made as the stitch was more complicated. The first one had an 8 row pattern where every even numbered row was purled and only odd numbered rows were patterned. This one was only over 6 rows but every row was patterned and took total concentration. I...

You know what I want, because you have seen it in your dreams too! A fast, inexpensive spinning system. I want to spin long staple, high luster yarns into firmly spun, multi-ply, light worsted weight yarns (~1,000 yd/lb) Questions

I am making a raglan cardigan sized 3 months old from a vintage pattern. I translated the pattern from fingering weight yarn to light sportweight yarn to use up some stash, and am using a striped pattern. In order for the stripes on the sleeves to match the stripes on the body, I need to either...

There are eight rows repeated in sleeves pattern, and in every other row in the pattern, you do...

While Matthew was in one of his cabinetmaking classes last night, I swung around to Michaels to look for *one* pattern book (the "Love Me Tender Baby Afghans" that I saw on line and thought was so sweet). I ended up coming out with.... FOUR pattern books! Bad Gemini... bad, bad bad!!! ...

I tried my first lace project several months after I began knitting a couple of years ago. I didn't enjoy it. Maybe it was the yarn (50/50 acrylic/mohair), maybe the pattern, maybe because I didn't really know what I was doing (are those ssk stitches slipped purl- or knit-wise?). It made me...

Dye it! Who would have thunk, that dying a garment could be that much harder than dying skeins of yarn? Aaron

Hello everyone, I haven't been on here a lot lately because I have been busy. I wanted to stop by and let you all know that I did update my blog with some new stuff. I put how I make a ponytail holder/scrunchie mini video on my blog and some other things like that. I do not get paid to make...

Some of my family is Catholic and they've got an ongoing argument query about placing a statue of Joseph in your yard when trying to sell your home. SOME say you bury him upside down, some say you bury him facing away from the home, and some say you do both. Anybody know? I personally don't...
