Reverse single crochet rows within a piece by
Adam
I am making a scarf and the pattern calls for a row of reverse single
crochet in the front loops of a foundation row of single crochet, then
going back, a row of single crochet in the back loops. I have looked
all over and can only find information about reverse single crochet as
an edging, so what...

I need to sell about 70 pounds of raw alpaca fleeces!!! by
[email protected]
I'm an alpaca farmer with too much raw fleece ...my spouse wants the
living room to be "free of alpaca fleeces" sooner than later. I still
have both huacaya and suri available. I have some very nice white
fleeces; lots of good black fleeces and a good selection of fawns,
grays, and browns. I...

Bah - Humbug!! And, question about yarn smell. by
Agres
The best thing about surgery is that if you are too sore to laugh, it is a
good excuse to sit down for some SERIOUS knitting.
Christmas, birthdays, and surgery are the great destroyers of stashes. Worse
than the "Riders of the Apocalypse." Sooner, or latter, one of them will
hit your stash. It...

Nickel plated brass needles by
AGRES
A few days ago, I posted that texturing near the tips of stainless steel
needles improved their usability.
Now, I am testing similar texturing on nickel plated brass needles. When
knitting to a tight gauge, the textured - nickel plated brass needles tend
to feel rough and scratchy. When knitting...

Bobbles (popcorn stitch) by
AGRES
This is a good group. In most internet groups, if I posted that, "I made a
big bobble this morning!", the group would treat me like a loser. However,
here in RCTY, I know that making the occasional perfect bobble will only
add to my acceptance. g
These are big bobbles, made by knitting...

Another technique of knitting by
AGRES
Yesterday, I attended Emma Popek's party celebrating the release of her
latest book, and Emma had suggested that I bring my knitting. It was a very
cosmopolitan group.
The woman sitting next to me leaned to knit in Bombay more than 50 years
ago. She showed me a knitting technique that I had...

Venting against spinners, dyers, and yarnshops by
Agres
Just got a new "yarn card" from my favorite yarn shop in Canada.
The colors have changed, the texture has changed, only the names remain the
same.
Moral: If you see a yarn that you like, buy it all. It will not be there
later.

knitting journal by
Agres
The most important fact to record in your knitting journal is where the
object is hidden while waiting to be wraped and tagged for Christmass. I
simply did not remember knitting that pair of socks, but I seemed to be
short 2 skeins of yarn. Yep, there was another pair of fuzzy pink socks at
the...

Payback for men that Knit by
Agres
My old climbing buddy (Bob) has been very, very disparaging of my knitting.
He had been making comments like, "Only a sissy would knit!" But, he has
been busy, and out of the country, so he had not actually seen anything that
I had knit.
Last night Bob came by for a beer, and saw the Lopi socks ...

Improving stainless steel knitting needles. by
AGRES
I have found that by abrading a band behind the points of my commercial SS
knitting needles I can vastly improve their usability and "friendliness."
With the improved needles, my problems with dropped stitches disappears and
my knitting speed significantly improves. In addition, tight stitches...
