Well...good news. Even I am tired and I should have been in bed two hours ago, I started one blue square. First ½ of it is done and few rows more for that. So it will grow steadily, that much I can tell. Maybe I can make the rest before the next sunset. The square nr. 2 should see the daylight soon...

Hello, May a newcomer butt in? I crocheted an afghan back in the early eighties with a fake mohair I believe was called "Kitten". I am getting psyched to do another one and wonder if this stuff is still available, or can anyone recommend something comparable. Thank you.

my neighbor just gifted me w/2 bags of yarn that's been passed around in her family for a while. visual inspection suggests 99% of it is ack-really-ick -- red heart & the like. if you want the stuff and will reimburse me for postage i'll be glad to send it along, you can drop $$ in the mail when...

First, I'd like to welcome any newbies, you've stumbled upon the BEST, or as my cousin Fran and I like to say, the "bestest" (grin) NG on the 'net. I'd also like to extend belated birthday and anniversary wishes to the many I'm sure I missed during my ISP-imposed haitus. Also, anyone going through...

I have to tell you all, the outpouring from the crafting community has been tremendous! There are groups of knitters, crocheters, weavers, etc all over the 'net who are doing GREAT things for Katrina Relief Efforts, and it makes me, for one, very proud of us all. I wanted to say a couple of things...

I am on AOL, and they have told us that they are not going to carry the Newsgroups any more. I did a live chat with an AOL tech, and she steered me to AOL Keyword Tell Us and there you can write and ask them not to drop the Newsgroups. I don't know if it will do any good, but at least we can go...

OMG, I'm embarrassed and stumped! On row 13 of the "Dutch Lace Stitch" I came across this: "cross2R". and looked it up, showing the following wording: (on a plain row) {which I AM on, it's a knit row} Knit the second stitch on the left needle, passing it in front of the first stitch, knit the first...

All, What's a father to do when his daughter works sooooo hard to create a brand new knitting blog...and nobody has come to visit it yet? Of course it's wonderful and you all should go check it out. She is a recent college grad with a math major who would "like to publish a math paper on the...

While searching for the peach yarn**, I came across an unfinished project I'd started for myself: a "shoulder scarf" (aka "shrug") in RH worsted using an I hook from a pattern in the 1918 Fleisher's Manual that features a modified crazy stitch. The pattern can be found...

IT'S GOT A "FIXED FONT" SWITCH! MY COOL ASCII-ART .SIG FINALLY LOOKS RIGHT. NOW I CAN LOOK AT MY OLD POSTS WITHOUT GETTING A HEADACHE!! WOO-OO! CATCH YOU LATER FELLAS, *WINK!*

Georgia spun a FINE 'yarn': I wanted to buy some Fair Isle socks for DS--and yeah, $16 plus shipping would be much less of an investment than the time it would take to knit them--and I saw some in the Garnet Hill catalog. But they turned out to be 43% nylon, and that seemed like too much....

Well, Katherine B. won't be confirming a package - guess what I found on the OTHER table in this room, just this very second? *doink* +++++++++++++ Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET.

I know that many of you are already without power, but IF you get this message, please know that I am thinking of you. I'm desperately waiting to hear from my cousin Joanne, who lives in Springfield VA, and works at the FDIC.gov in DC. Huge hugs!!!! Noreen
