Is she enjoying grandmotherhood? janeb

I have a scarf to knit up in a feather and fan pattern. The pattern says to cast on 250+ stitches so I will be working across the length of it. It says the finished scarf is 60 inches long. The pattern does not suggest what length of circular needle to buy to work the scarf so I am coming to the...

In yesterday's mail I received my copy of Doris Chan's beautiful book "Amazing Crochet Lace" (ISBN 0-307-33975-0 ). In her introductory pages she calls her technique "exploded lace," or lace that is traditional in pattern but using larger yarn (DK and worsted) and larger hooks. Is this a...

Hi everyone, I added some new patterns to my website www.plasticcanvascreations.com . You can join my Yahoo Group if you want to know when I make new patterns. http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/www_plasticcanvascreations_com/ Thanks :o)

NO!! *I* have NOT buildt up my new kitchen, but I have been the assistant, painter and errand girl! It is a very small room, and I was afraid I had to stand outside the house taking pics through the window! The coloures are not right, it is a warmer white/cream. The tiles are pastel colored...

Does anyone have a good recipe for zucchini bread? Thanks a bunch, Carol In WI

Hi all, I'm crocheting an afghan and the gauge swatch came out fine, but now I realize the final dimensions are going to be a quite a bit smaller than I'd like, so I'd like to add a few more rows. Unfortuantely, I purchased only enough yarn (Plymouth Encore Knitting Worsted) to complete the...

My niece has expressed an interest in learning to knit so for Christmas I thought I would gift her with a book and some good yarn and needles for a specific project (a scarf?) and, of course, a coupon for unlimited knitting lessons. I was looking at books on the internet and plan to go peruse...

I think I was on this newsgroup a long time ago. I do remember some of the names. I got a new computer and lost everything I had on the other one. If I recall correctly, this was a really helpful and friendly group of people. So, if I was here before, I'm back and hopefully somebody will remember...

Hi all, My name is Kitty. I am 52, have a hubby, three daughters, two grand daughters and two and a half grandsons. I am a collector of crafts I guess. I dabble in just about everything I can get my hands on. I can knit and crochet as well as sew. I've knit sweaters and hats and socks, but no...

Hi Everyone, I've been crocheting a long time and have never really worried about gauge too much when it comes to afghans. However, I'm about to make an afghan using my scrap worsted acrylic and I'd like to have some control over the dimensions. The labels tell you what sized hook to use,...

Hi All I was wondering if someone can help me. I am a knitwear designer/producer and I have been asked to produce some designs with alpaca yarn. The lady who has asked me has her own alpacas and would dearly like to have the yarn hand spun. I have never ever done spinning in my life but would...

I'm happy to report (as a lot of you know) that I finished - my granddaughter's Christmas sweater (and posted a link to the picture) - a pair of soft grey White Buffalo wool slippers for the granddaughter's stocking WIP's the Candle Flame Shawl a pair of camo sox for #2 grandson for his Xmas...

I have just picked up my knitting needles again but not to knit with yarn. I am knitting with silver wire and beads some of which are Swarovski crystals. I am making a bracelet cuff. I have no pattern but I saw someone wearing one the other day so decided to try it out. Will get it finished...

14 chemo caps divided between two friends of friends who both started chemo last week. One gal shaved her head yesterday because she'd rather just be bald and be done with it instead of looking ratty for weeks or months. One sweater, viewable here (~1mb...

I think I need a basic Stitch Dictionary. I'd like something that is just a bunch of different stitch patterns. Does anyone have suggestions. I'd like to hear about good books, and if there are books to avoid, I'd like to hear that, too. TIA Hesira

Hi, I just purchased a second hand loom, and now I am panicing! Can anyone direct me to a good book, or good directions on the web on how to to warp the darn thing. It is a floor loom, 48" max. size of fabric, and I think a Jack loom. When I push on the treadle, only the shafts only go up. It...

Hello everyone! My wonderful, and very thoughtful hubby, apparently remembered that I have always wanted to try weaving on a loom. I have made a few items with Tablet Weaving, but never gotten to work on a real loom. (Can you say REAL beginner? LOL!) Anyway, the other day hubby came home with a...
