Thought I'd formally introduce myself. My name is Carol, I live in Ventral Arkansas and I love to hand knit. Currently unable to do more than read this group since I have a broken arm and wrist...maybe someday she says wistfully. Enjoy this upbeat group so HI to all and Happy Holidays!!!!

I have just watched the new Bewitched movie...has anyone seen the pattern published for the gray turtleneck sweater Nicole Kidman wears in this movie? Carol

I am trying to 'put a name' to a needlework craft that I had seen some time ago. It used - usually - a white loose weave fabric or base. The you took thread?? and either wound or knotted or looped or something through the base to create a picture, or name on the base. This looks a lot like...

I see that Herschnerr's catalog has a pattern for a shrug with Caron yarn on the first page. It says that that pattern is on the yarn sleeve. Anyone have this pattern and would like to share a copy? They don't sell this yarn in my area. (I'd buy one skein for the pattern) thanks C

Noreen, I read your message but deleted before I responded. The yarn is Caron Simply Soft Shadows....but I guess I'll just buy the yarn from Herschnerrs and hope that this pattern is actaully on the label. thanks Carol

I just want to say thank you to the member who shared that she kept her circular needles in sheet protectors in a three-ring binder. It's finally raining and I organized mine today....it is so organized and can be put away neatly. Thanks to someone out there!! Carol

I am going to attempt my first felting (actually fulling) project....how much wool content does the yarn need to felt (full) properly. I've been told that's is felted when you wash the yarn before knitting and fulled when you wash the yarn after so the notations just in case I was incorrectly...

Knitting the purse pattern in the new Knitty. I knitted the swatch then it says to wash it in hot water and record the time -- for the real thing. However, I don't know where to start on time would a normal wash cycle do the trick? I am using Lamb's Pride.

Well I made the felted purse in Knitty -- purple and green. I used the actual yarn in the pattern and after felting I have a bag about the size of a lunch bag, no where near the 8" x 4" in the pattern. What would have caused this? I know that I knit tighter than the average person...could...

Have a few questions about the recent discussion. Just completed my first entrelac pattern (a shrug). Really like the look of the pattern but not all the picking up of stitches -- time consuming. REading posts about the modular knits I interpreted that you don't have to pick up stitches nor do...

Help...I always feel so needy when in this group. I am looking for a pattern to knit an 'animal print' afghan. Tried googling but no luck...if someone could just point me in the right direction. Thanks again, Carol

Help, I have tons of Sugar n Cream Sports Weight Yarn (mom's stash) and would like to make some summer tops for me...any idea where I can find patterns to use this yarn. I'm not good at recalculating patterns for really need patterns with directions for this weight of yarn. Thanks, Carol

On the Bernat pattern website under accessories there is a pattern for a stole made with boa fur...the model is wearing what appears to be a knit hat. I have searched the website for the hat pattern and cannot find it...has anyone seen a pattern similar to this one? Thanks, Carol

Hello all!! I am currently knitting the Stuffed Pond Alligator from Lion Brand....it calls for shank buttons for eyes and nose. Since I am knitting this for a grandson I thought that knitted eyes and nose would be safer; however, I am great at following patterns and really suck at trying to...

Help! I saw a shrug that was probably a link from this newsgroup. It was purple (I think) and looked like it was knitted from cuff-to-cuff. It has loose sleeves. Anyone remember this and could you please reprint the link? Thanks, Carol

Help....looking a quick knit dog coat (it's for a Jack Russell so any pattern will be quick) where you do not have to put he dogs legs through 'sleeves', just one that basically secures under the belly. And like some others here I can't just make a square and put straps on it....I really do need a...

Last week, or so, someone posted a link to a website with info on knitting for the military....socks, hats, etc. Today a girlfriend asked me if I would knit for charitable contributions if she would purchase the yarn. I said, YES!!! I love to knit but don't have the extra resources to provide...

Help!! My biggest downfall is that I cannot substitute one yarn for another. Well, here it is all icy, I found a pattern I want to knit but don't have the exact yarn. Isn't there a yarn interchange chart on the web somewhere? Help! Need substitute for Unique Kolours/Colinette Thanks Carol

Is there any chance that are knit patterns for these? I've have tried searching...but no luck...need you expertise again. Carol

Ripping can be frustrating....at our house it's either "unknitting" or DH notices that I'm 'frogging' rip-it, rip-it... Carol "Mirjam Bruck-Cohen" wrote in message ... I wanted to finnish something , and as i was watching news , i...
