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...

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...
