Hi I'm hoping someone here can help me. I am just learning how to knit cables and am attempting an Irish Knit pillow, so I can practice doing cables. My problem is that I don't understand some of the abbreviations and these are not listed under abbreviations in the pattern. The abbreviations I...

I went to my local Hobby Lobby to get in on the sale.... is Spinrite the same brand as Bernat? I didn't see any "Spinrite" brand anywhere and just had to deduce that it was Bernat's parent company or something. Thanks, Denise -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =-----

"Wintuk Knitting Worsted Yarn" I of course will just make this vest with what I have stashed around the house, regular WW red heart cheap yarn, caron simply soft, or my fluffly soft RH plush :-) Just curious what that yarn should look/feel like in comparison to what I'm used to. Thanks ya'all

My LYS has just started carrying this http://www.soysilk.com/Bamboo.html Has anyone ever used it? Comments? Does anyone know how to care for it as far as washing and such? TIA Becky

I don't have too much to report, aside from squares, squares and more squares! ;-) Make that 4 squares, 1 baby hat, and 1 Eros 1 Ball Scarf. But, I also sewed grippy soles on the felted clogs I finished in August and sewed a button on another finished project. Janise

Hi Cher! Do not worry about the situation. The envelope is written already. And the first square is finished. The second one is still on needles. Must finish it soon....Oh dear...This can be the first time CNN must put me on hold. Best: Pirjo

If anybody on this newsgroup is from knittingpages.com please note that last month your web site sent 2731 patrons to web pages on Yarn Forward which no longer exist, and have not for years, and that I cannot submit a complaint to you because you do not show an email address on your web site, and...

I've been thinking about this for a long time now, and finally decided to write it here. About flaming. How come in this ng there really aren't that many flamewars, or atleast I haven't seen them. I don't think that people have announced that they've blacklisted someone either. Or am I blacklisted...

I went out to bingo last night - (yeah, bingo), and because I don't go out often at night, I just couldn't believe how freaking cold it was. There was a weather warning out because of the wind and the wind chill..... The windchill when I got up this a.m. was -45°C (-49F). Even with gloves on my...

Noreen, I received your squares this morning, beautiful colours and work(wo)manship, and thank you so much for my scarf I love the colour. I was really pleased to get the parcel, it was just what I needed to brighten up the day before going to see my Dad, and starting to sort out their house (at...

Just to let my January and February partners know: the only reason that I haven't gotten your squares out in the mail is because I'm without manila envelopes to mail them in. I usually have some...but seems I forgot to replenish when I used the last one. Other than that, I have the yarn and the...

I am finally sending off the squares to Jocelyn today. They have been done since the end of December, but I never had the right envelope on hand. :-) -Elsa

While it is understood that life and circumstances can cause havoc and turmoil, the 6 x 6 ongoing square exchange *is* an obligation. CNN has received reports that quite a few people have not received squares from their partners. While November can still be considered "up-in-the-air".... it...

While shopping a few days ago, I saw another shopper wearing a hand-knit scarf that I fell in love with. I have been hunting since then in vain for the pattern and was wondering if it anyone else is familar with it. The scarf is knitted, a plain pattern, wide but not too long, meant to be warn...

When you put up a received report, could you *please* also include what *month's* exchange you are referring to? We now have FIVE lists of exchangees, and it sure would make our job a lot easier not having to go through Sept, Oct, Nov, Jan, and Feb lists just to check you off. Thanks, Noreen Part...

I'm working on a christening gown using Coats Opera size 20 cotton on 2 mm needles. Though I'm usually a tight knitter, I'm finding I need to give the working yarn (thread, really, I guess) a little tug after each stitch to keep my tension even and stitches tidy. Not only is this slowing me...
