I've wanted to make myself some caps for quite some time, but can't seem to find or make up my own patterns. First off, pictures of what I am looking for: http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/dezign/beachcloseup.jpg and http://ae.speedera.net/Images/laydowns/front/1426_0032_173.jpg These pictures are only...

My newsprovider is still having problems. I cannot access news, well atleast rec. groups. Sfnet. groups' do work, not good, but they work. There's going to be some changes, other provider or something. Don't know yet. Hopefully they'll fix things soon! Hugs, Johanna -- Johanna Koski

Hallelujah, I am on the first round of ribbing of the never-ending Aran sweater. The sleeves are finished and bound off, the body is done but for the ribbing. And I am here to tell you that (k1b, p1) rib takes for-freaking-ever on 200+ stitches. I'll be doing the ribbing all day...

Sorry to do this at rcty, but I re-sent you the snail you asked for after you emailed that it wasn't in your inbox... did you finally receive it? Thanks, Noreen -- Noreen's Knit*che (Knitting, Crocheting, Tatting, Bobbin-Lace and Spinning are my NICHE in life..) NATA #447 Member TKGA Member...

Hello All, I thought I had a pattern for a knitted cap for a baby that had three sets of eyelets so the hat would adjust as the little one grows. I can't seem to find it anywhere and can't remember where I saw it. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance, Bonnie

Regarding the never-ending sweater which is air-drying . . . This is Cascade 220 wool -- do you think there would be a problem with putting it on the dryer, as long as it's on tumble dry, no heat? I don't want to shrink it , but I also don't want to stretch it either (I only ask that it be...

Hi everyone... Well, my half of my lapghan is crooked because of the change in guage I've made over time. Dad won't mind though. :) Next step is to pick up stitches on the cast-on row to make the other half. I watched DIY's show yesterday which covered picking up stitches, but I'm still not...

I have finished a jumper in time to take it to Melbourne for DD2 and Dh insisted he take a photo to send to Martin when I get back - then I noticed that he had placed the first two crochet squares I did at the bottom of the jumper. He insisted that this feat be recorded !! This time I am "over and...

Wow... this is what I'm looking for online instruction: http://www.dnt-inc.com/barhtmls/knit/PUedge.html By the way, is this the usual method for picking up stitches? Is this what I'll need to do finish the neckband on my dog sweater and to attach and work the second half of my...

Well, my step daughter is having her first baby, so guess who is signed up to make the shawl? So I got out the needles and looked everywhere for my shawl pattern I'd done for my girls. Couldn't find it anywhere, so I took myself off of my death bed into town, and trudged around the...

Hi Marie, Finally made it to the post office - your squares went off yesterday Best wishes Shirley

Hello, I'm new to knitting and new to this newsgroup :-). I'm currently trying to do the following project: http://www.craftyarncouncil.com/projects/march_knitproj.html However, I'm starting to wonder if I bit off more than I can chew, as I'm doing cable for the first time. I'm also stumped at...

Yes i have done it !! please forgive a little boasting. There it is in front of me - it is square and it is 6x6 and the most amazing thing is *it lies flat* and it is crochet. This is the first time I have done anything in crochet - and I am just so pleased with myself - any earlier attempt -...

Hi gang! I'm still stressing over some big big issues and stuff, but wanted to let you know that we had one heck of a change in weather here in Central TN... it's bitter cold, and we had some snow overnight. (I MISS wintering in FL!!) Last night I crocheted myself a mobius, just a simple mindless...

Hi everyone, Did any of you see the piece at the end of Sew Much More featuring a knitter? The woman knit the most gorgeous hats on a circular needle, but made them double the size, then washed them in a washing machine in hot water to shrink and 'felt' them. While they were still wet she shaped...

I have a graph for a blanket that I want to make using afghan stitch. The blanket will be 5 ft by 6 feet when finished. Where on earth do I find an afghan hook that size? What size do I actually need to do this? Any hints would be appreciated. KElly

I know this is a little off topic, but I was hoping that maybe some of my friends here could help me out. I need to get a new vaccuum. Yesterday, my old one bit the dust - it started smoking badly. The motor burned up so it went out to the trash. Sniff, sniff! What kind do you have and would...
