so I finally opened my package of 4 double sided needles, cracked my knitting book open, and learned to knit tubes. It took several attempts to figure it out but then it went pretty smooth. I now have a pink tube and a white tube. It took more concentration than knitting on 2 needles and I...

Just over a week ago Rusty was kind enough to ask after me. Right after that my server went into a huff and refused to give me any messages for several days, and it has taken me until now to catch up. Anyhow, I am slowly recovering from the pneumonia, but it is taking a long time. The docs told...

Hi Nora, Two lovely knitted squares in bright and cheerful colours arrived from Amanda this morning, along with a postcard. Sue W in East Anglia, UK

First I've been crocheting for several years now, and not to toot my own horn, am pretty good at it. But I only seem to be able to do a "pattern" (something that repeats). I made my second attempt at a simple double crochet blanket, my first attempt was my first project. Both wound up ugly! uneven...
