Too much knitting going on here, and not enough spinning, so tell me by No Name
You know what I want, because you have seen it in your dreams too! A fast, inexpensive spinning system. I want to spin long staple, high luster yarns into firmly spun, multi-ply, light worsted weight yarns (~1,000 yd/lb) Questions

I finally get it! by Laura J
I tried my first lace project several months after I began knitting a couple of years ago. I didn't enjoy it. Maybe it was the yarn (50/50 acrylic/mohair), maybe the pattern, maybe because I didn't really know what I was doing (are those ssk stitches slipped purl- or knit-wise?). It made me...

v-e-r-y OFF topic, a query about Catholic statues by YarnWright
Some of my family is Catholic and they've got an ongoing argument query about placing a statue of Joseph in your yard when trying to sell your home. SOME say you bury him upside down, some say you bury him facing away from the home, and some say you do both. Anybody know? I personally don't...

Heresy! Damned Heresy! On washing woolens by No Name
A stack of mittens were on the drying rack for my ski buddies, so time to get on with the next gansey. It is a stitch pattern that I have messed up before, so there was a practice swatch. The yarn I used for practice is an oiled Canadian yarn that has been spun just the same way since the days of...

As I've mentioned earlier, I will definitely be holding a Subversiv syslöjd (subversive handcrafts) workshop at the rock festival this summer.

Ripping out--again! by myswendy
Sigh. Yes, it has happened again. This makes 4 (or is it 5?) times I am ripping out this &(*$#@&%$*& purple chenille! UGH. I was making a beret that I thought would be gorgeous with the scarf, but it ended up big enough to swallow if I opened my mouth. So---I like the basic idea, the banded edge...
