Blocking(?) question by
David R. Sky
Hi,
I'm crocheting a rectangular piece about 12 by 24 inches, but one end is
turning out to be narrower than the other end - the piece is now more than
sixty percent complete and I don't want to frog it. I understand from Cher
that I need to block it, my understanding this is done by blocking...

Last I heard, you were (I think!) reallly busy. But you usually manage
to pop in once in a while. Is all well with you?

Blocking ideas? by
Wooly
Well, I've done it to myself this time.
The Jaggerspun shawl is too big for my hillbilly PVC blocking frame.
It is also too big for me to handle by myself. I'm bribing a friend
to come over next week to help me string it up, but what on earth can
I use as the blocking frame?
PS -- when it's...

Att'n: Chris - nunya by
YarnWright
Chris,
I was totally taken aback by your acusatory post, basically stating
that RCTY is somehow 'cliquey'.... I disagree, and find it hard to
believe you *really* think that!
You've always been a sporadic poster, but welcomed here, especially by
ME, so I do take umbrage in your remarks....
I'm...

It's that time again by
Wooly
I had two county fair premium books in my mailbox today.
The earlier of the two includes handspinners, handknitters, and other
"fiber people" on the judging panels so I always feel as if I get a
fair shake when I watch the judging there. I have a shawl, two
sweaters, two pairs of socks and a...

OT, very OT, a RANT and RAVE, grrrrrrrrrrr by
YarnWright
I am SO ticked off at DHL, the USPS and the VitaminShoppe!
I placed an order at the Vitamin shoppe last monday, the 26th, early
in the day, which 'they' claim for one that I placed on the 27th.
They FINALLY acknowledged my order on the 29th, stating that it had
been shipped on the 28th.
They gave...

OT - weather by
Wooly
I'd like to start by saying that everybody is entitled to be a
narrow-minded uptight little person if they're inclined that way.
I haven't seen the sun in a week. I know our friends in New England,
PA, and other eastern parts of the country that are attempting to
rejoin the Atlantic have no...

problems weaving chenille by
alan
hi everyone
at our weaving mill we seem to have a problem weaving chenille yarns.
The fabric is woven on a Dornier loom.
All chenille yarns come from the same dye lot.
4 prewinders are used for the chenille yarn and work alternately.
The problem seems to be that the inserted chenille yarn seems...

Make your own knitting sheath by
This morning, I finished a "goose wing" knitting sheath whittled from a
piece of an old ax handle. it looks crude and primitive, but it feels good
in the hand, it feels good in the belt while knitting, and it works for
knitting. This morning as I was testing it, the last of my doubts...

Rolling needles by
I'm trying to organize my DPN. The steel need to be wiped with WD-40 and
kept so that they do not get fingerprints on them when I paw through the
stash looking for that special little gopher of a tool. (Gophers are small
animals that dig deep and fast.)
So, I have been prototyping cloth needle...

materials for knittng sheaths by
Earlier, I posted that I did not like ash for knitting sheaths. Now, I
have recarved the goose wing prototype that I made from an ax handle. While
the ash, particularly in cross grain, is NOT smooth enough for a yarn
contact material, the friction generated by the textured surface does a...

Excessive needle count by
Wooly
Does anybody need straight needles? Maybe for a stabfest? My cup
runneth over, so to speak.
A friend of my mother's-in-law gave her a load of needles she found at
a garage sale with instructions to pass them on to me. They're all
straights and I won't use 'em.
Post here if you're after a...

Magazine destash... by
Teacher Gal
Okay, I'm going to get rid of some magazines here. They're taking up room
and I've already done what I want to with them. Should you request a few,
email me privately and we'll see what we can do. I'm more than willing to
gift these, but little bits of interesting fibers will, of course, not...
