Hello! There's a nip in the air these days so fall is almost here and winter is just around the corner. It's time to gather up some knitting and produce some warm garments. And why forget the family dog? Here is my Seamless Dog Sweater pattern http://www.twinwillowsfarm.com/dog_sweater.html...

My knitting group would like to make some mittens and scarves for some of the hurricane refugees that ended up in MA. I have a book of knitting patterns for 2-needle mittens. I guess there would be some copyright issues if I photocopied my pattern book? Does anyone know of a link to a free 2 needle...

hi, Could someone let me know if you can make baby or toddlers sweaters from rayon yarn. Stella

Anyone have any idea where I might be able to acquire a skein or two of Classic Elite's Studio yarn in color 5890 (sort of a silvery gray)? I'd love to be able to make this shawl as long as the pattern calls for, but I'm about a skein short. Anastasia WIP: original patterned Celtic Knot shawl,...

Hello everybody! Finally back online! :D Anyway, I just had a question...do any of you teach knitting in a classroom, and if you do, how do you go about teaching a group of people how to knit? I end up going around to each student and showing them individually, but I was wondering if there was...

I just looked in my folder and have a picture of Darlene and Nadia, and another one of Aud. I cannot find where I put the pictures that I *thought* I had saved of Katherine, or of Shelagh. :o( So... if Shelagh and Katherine wouldn't mind putting up the URLs for me again, I would really...

Hi All, I just got back from the knitters' fair in Kitchener. This was my first time going and 4 great things happened: 1) I got a door prize!! A kit for a baby sweater and hat. The yarn is a pretty navy chenille and it include dump truck buttons! I don't have any kids (yet), but I can always...

Good Saturday morning, everyone. Noreen and Els already know my news, but I asked them to keep my confidence until the time was right to share it. Now I think it is. For the past year, I have been experiencing changes in my life, which have culminated in my being called to ministry in the...

I have saidit before, and say it again: I envy you the nice colored acrylic yarn you have got! We have lots of beautiful wool, but for many purposes acrylic...

I just started my first sweater. The pattern calls for a size 10 and 7 needles. I did my gauge swatch with the larger needles and I needed to change to a size 8. But I only did the swatch for 2 inches, not the 4 inches called for in the pattern. So I figured that I would have to go down to a...

I thought I saw a message posted by you earlier as I was skimming over the messages (can't read them all... way too many to catch up with), so I thought I'd wave at you and wish you the best. I hope everything is going well for you in your new job and new place you're living. :o) Peace! Gemini
