Dear NG, I'm hoping someone can help me with this pattern. It is for a "tote" which will be felted. I can't picture how the casting on works or how I work the pattern until it is on a single circular needle. I would prefer to cast on "normally" and then work on four needles until it's large...

Hi there, Couldn't resist responding to the dumpling thread. My mom makes the dumplings and mixes them with fried and chopped bacon bits and cottage cheese. Then you salt it to taste. Have you ever eaten them this way? I know it might sound funny to some, but it really tastes good! It has...

Hi ladies! As I told before, I am not gonna be upset if CNN puts me on hold if needed....I know it even myself that it is for my own good. And receiver's too. At the moment I am knitting...uumm...4th or 5th square of color nr. 2 in one certain little girl's pink blanket. I try to keep an eye...

Hi ladies! Boss is here so I'd rather talk fast. The cleaning company is coming here today. I am typing from The Workshop of Youngsters of Haapajärvi, even our current location is same as Bowling Hall of Haapajärvi has. The same building, you know. But now...The cleaning company is coming here and...

Hi! I must correct things a bit. The cleaning business won't come t-o-d-a-y. They w-i-l-l c-o-m-e, but n-o-t b-e-f-o-r-e n-e-x-t y-e-a-r. That is what boss told me, I mean the female one when I asked her. My terms with both bosses are good, of course, but the female one is my favourite *makes...

Typing is not hard but using the mouse is almost impossible. I just hope I will get this through to you. Do not worry of me. I will recover. I think it is back to stitching yet. Hands are aching...even the swollen thing went down. But now it is back again. I tried to knit. It is a bit hard...

Noreen these are just the funniest things I have seen in a long time _ I simply cannot stop the giggles !! Thank you for sharing - I have sometimes read stupid things like that but never had enough thought to keep any. I can hear DH still laughing too ! God Bless Gwen -- Gwen Kelly

To everyone, whether they post regularly, rarely, or just lurk.... You can't FIND a better group of people... whether it's ON or OFF topic, this bunch of guys and gals jump to help, rescue, offer assistance, find links... you 'name' it -- and I think 'we' represent the spirit of...

Learned to knit when I was quite young - Mom taught me. Taught myself to crochet when I was about 21 to make a tablecloth to replace one that I had damaged. In the late 60's learned how to work with yarn and haven't stopped since. shawls, capes, dresses, pant suits, afghans, tablecloths (with...

I know this is way OT, but my sister's small intestine is filled with "fibers", and her doctors don't know what to do about it. The best information highway is the web, so just thought I'd ask. I've done a web search and came up with nada. Thanks to anybody with info. Please - no jokes about it....

Well it is nearly the end of this ole year....so are we all planning new projects for 2004??? Gosh I have so many new things to try that I am not sure where to start...but I'd like to have a go at that pattern...can't remember its name now...where you use two or more colours and cross them over so...

Hi group, Mom wanted me to ask, WHO made the square for her comfortaghan that has an OWL in it, AND, does it have a "meaning"? TIA, Noreen -- STRIP * tease * to email me.

Karen As you already know, your squares have been 'done' for quite some time... I'll be sending them out late this week, along with a surprise. Hugs, Noreen -- STRIP * tease * to email me.

I spun, over the course of the last year (roughly) about 5# of Corriedale wool. Commercial preparation, nice yummy chocolate brown color (technically it would be called black, but who cares). Intended use is Medrith Glover's Circumnavigated Cardigan, a tricky little number with zero sewing, it is...

I am not up to this point on the cabled cardigan for son but have not knit a sweater in a couple of years and would love to be reminded the best way to develop a placket for the buttonholes. What do you all do and how do you determine how big a button to buy? As I recall I did the pattern and...

Nora, Just a quick note that I have 18 (eighteen) squares done for the two projects... I may make two more, not sure yet, but they'll be going out sometime this week. Hugs, Noreen STRIP * tease * to email me.

I cannot find SueCD's spiral sock pattern! I cannot find her site URL either. H E L P!!!! TIA, Noreen -- STRIP * tease * to email me.

I have read the ng a LITTLE, but have been in bed with fever, sore throuth and headache the last fev days!As you see, nothing serious! Now I am a bit better, and look forward to be "me" again! I had planned to send you a nice Christmas greeting, but this is all: Have wonderful days after Christmas...
