Hi, I am new to weaving, and have a few books on the subject from which I am learning. I have built a simple but large frame loom, with nails as warp holders, for my first project - a simple two color (horizontal stripe) scarf. Well, none of my books say how to exactly deal with running out of...

I recently went to the Bernat website and signed up for the free membership required to view their free patterns. My membership has never been activated. I tried it a couple of times with 2 different e-mail addresses to no avail. I am disappointed because it seems like they have a lot of great...

Hi Everybody! Where Can I Find Affordable Red Heart Super Saver Yarn, Black And Frosty Green? If Anyone Can Help Me, I'd Really Appreciate It. Thanks

I'm trying to decide if I want to do a particular pattern with some lovely 100% silk I picked up from my LYS the other day. The wpi measure on the cones is 2/60. Is Cebelia comparable? Somehow I think my stuff is probably thinner than that. I may need to just buck up and pick a pattern (or...

I come here to read posts about yarn. NOT to be thrust back into high school-level arguments about who said or did what in the PAST. Let's all grow up, ignore people whom we don't like, and get back to the yarn stuff. --Anastasia Who is so sick of half of the posts on the group being related...

I ordered 15 skeins of yarn online back in early February from Knitting Warehouse.com. It took awhile for me to receive them, but that's not a big deal in my book. I'll wait for a good deal. I ordered by placing a number next to the proper name and picture of the brand and color I wanted. Once...

Hi all I am looking for outrageous socks to knit. I have managed to spin a reasonable amount of yarn (fairly fine!) and want to make a totally different sock - not one that will necessarily be worn! Has anyone got any ideas or could you point me in the right direction? So far nothing is...

I am so sorry to hear about your bereavement Christine. I have been through the same only 3 years ago and whilst the pain does not go away it becomes easier to live with. I am so glad that I stayed with my Mother until the end and I have drawn enormous strength from her at her passing. I hope...

I have completed my socks but I am not sure how to graft the toes. Can anyone out there help me? Much appreciated No more ' queen of the pointy heels ' Andee

Can anyone help me with the different needle sizes? There was a very useful post some time ago and although I printed it and put it away safe I can't find the printout. (Tidiness never pays :-) ! ) Also what are the different types of yarn in the US and the comparable yarn in the UK eg. worsted?...

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...

Wow, what a great group...I'm so happy I've found you! I have MANY questions about yarns & patterns (mostly crochet)...questions about reading patterns and different brands of yarn, most of which are not readily available at my local craft store. Right now, I'm in search of some tangerine and...

Do you knitters get togeter at all if you know your in the same area? In another group I am a part of they get together once a year and do things and go places that are related to what the group is about. Have you ladies and gentlemen ever done this or thought about doing this?

Hi, I'm looking for some hand-knit ski masks. Do anyone have something like that laying around? Pls let me know my old one has now been completely worn out, and winter is soon coming to the cold north where I live. Brgds, Andy from Norway

I'm trying desperately to find a hooded poncho pattern with the holes for the hands. It has to be crochet as well. If anyone can help me please do so! Christmas is coming and my daughters are begging me to make them all one. Sharon

Any advice for a kumihimo beginner ? I began with some woodturning, as I'm more used to working wood than fabrics. So that produced my marudai and a set of bobbins. First attempts have used cotton embroidery floss and the simple 16 thread rotating pattern described...
