Hi All! I'm definitely a newbie so I'm wondering if I just bit off more than I could chew. I have been told my crocheting is good (even chains and I'm picking up terminology well, at least I thought) and have done some hats and scarves and coasters so far. I wanted to make a poncho for my...

Hello, My name is Diana and I am looking for a newsgroup that covers knitting and how to. I do hope that this is the right place. Can anyone out there tell me if this is the right newsgroup and is there anyone out there that does knitting crafts. I am new to all of this and need some help. Diana...

....not literally, of course. I'm just peeved. Today's local newspaper, the Baltimore Sun, has a big article (front page of the Home & Family section) on the resurgence of knitting among young people, and the on-line version isn't available (the site still shows last Sunday's page) so I can't...

I had a great day on Saturday, when I went to the Knitting and Stitching show at Alexandra Palace in London. It's just huuuge. Acres of retail opportunities, and some amazing exhibitions. And I met up for lunch with Ray Almond and her husband. Actually there was probably less lunch than chat,...

Hello All! I have been recovering and getting used to life with 4 children. :) We hosted our entire church for Easter here, and our parents have been in and out of the house helping us out. As for my knitting, it had been put down for some time, but I'm picking it up again. I don't think that...

Hi Everyone, After reading the note from Noreen, I thought I would share this story with all of you. A picture of the afghan is in my album under other projects. http://tinyurl.com/9zab9 A woman that I used to work near knew that I did knitting and her DD raised keeshound dogs. She had found this...

This is far from an emergency situation, as I have plenty of other things on the go, but I figured I'd ask here so I could consider the possibilities. Something (okay, it was that fact that it was $5.00!) convinced me that I needed to bring home a bag (1 pound/454 g) of mill ends of what looks to...
