"Allure" by Patons by
Marg Anderson
Hi everyone, just letting you know about "Allure" yarn. It's really a
nice yarn ... I've made a couple dress scarves with it and they turned
out very rich looking. I have found one problem and I'd like to warn
you to be very careful when buying it. I have 2 balls, the same
colour and dye lot but...

Wooly
I had a root canal today. Ok, not the entire root canal because
*surprise surprise* I had an abcess under there despite the dentist's
avowals to the contrary. So I'm taking antibiotics for a week and
going back to have the rest of the procedure done, plus the crown
prep.
At any rate, I am so...

"Big Fish" Sweater? by
Allaya Diep
Have any of you out there seen the movie "Big Fish?" Aside from it
being quite a good movie (IMHO), I absolutely fell in love with the
sweater that the son's pregnant wife was wearing. It was cabled, had a
hood and had a belt which tied it shut like a trench coat.
I really liked the cable...

"Boobie" Scarf by
Allaya Diep
Have any of you seen the Boobie Scarf from Knitty.com? It's in the special
additional patterns PDF that was released a few days ago. I don't know how
practical it is, but I was very impressed with the creativity that went into
knitting boobs out of yarn!

"cloth knitted bag" kits by
Wooly
I eyeballed one of these at the bargain barn the other night. The
"kit" appears to consist of a few yards of cheap cotton/poly fabric,
plastic bag handles, and basic directions for knitting the bag. The
bag itself appears to be two slightly tapered flat pieces, with a long
narrow piece used as...

"Heirloom Knitting" @ Amazon by
Wooly
Amazon claims to have Sharon Miller's "Heirloom Knitting" for $36 with
free shipping if you choose "slow boat via Australia and points south"
shipping option.
I just ordered, we'll see if it shows up or if they string me along
for three months before admitting they don't have it at that price.

"ribbon" scarf by
Shirley Luton
Hi all,
A while (like a year or so ;) ) I bought a skein of 1/8" thick flat "yarn"
(it's really more like ribbon). It's a really pretty, variegated
blue/green - looks kind of ocean-like. Anyway, I thought I'd make a scarf.
Finally did it - just a plain garter stitch because I thought the...
