Hi Lisa, Your squares are on their way. I hope they arrive safely and that you like them. Seaspray

Alan came in today and caught me working on a 12" graph square in the afghan stitch. Knowing that I am already currently working on a blanket for my bed, a blanket for my daughter's bed, a baby blanket for a friend and a graph afghan for him, he asked me why I can't finish one project before...

Hey all - today is first day of classes, so that means I go back to only reading in the morning and evening hours. . . . I'm taking a lighter load this semester (15 hours - which happens to be only 4 classes) so hopefully I won't be half as swamped as last semester. . . but don't worry if you don't...

I had a conversation at the supermarket today with a retired gent who used to raise sheep and goats... No children to take over, so the farm was sold when his wife passed. He told me that his wife *always* used "Breck" shampoo to scour fleece, and highly recommended it's usage to...

I was watching a lady yesterday who was doing "Naalbinding" - a form of knitting/crocheting that can be documented back to the Vikings.

When I went to Walmart today to pick up some yarn I needed to complete my New Years Cast On project, I discovered that the dark, hunter green color of the Walmart brand yarn was a seasonal (?) color and won't be back until next year. I can substitute the green in the center stripes for more cream,...

Hi Kelly, I checked at my Walmarts this morning and didn't see any green so I asked the clerk and she told me it was just out of stock right now, but they would be getting more in later. Sorry I wasn't able to get you any. I did check the Red Heart and they have two hunter greens, one called...

I have to weave in the ends and take out bazillion safety pins I used as markers but the sweater is FINI! I just finished binding off the ribbing! No pix tonight, we're losing the light and the DH is out doing errands. I'll get some tomorrow and show off. Michelle with aching wrists

At long last, I finished what I was referring to as the "never-ending sweater" -- the men's guernsey from the Vogue Very Easy Knits book. It has been assembled, seamed and washed (Gwen, your seaming instructions were perfectly timed -- I don't think I could have done this without them!) -- The...
