Addicted To Yarn Shopping? by
DA
A recent study indicated that Yarn and thread gives off certain
Pheromones that actually hypnotize women and cause them to purchase
unreasonable amounts. When stored in large quantities in enclosed
spaces, the Pheromones (in the yarn) cause memory loss and induce the
nesting syndrome (similar to...

Silk Shawl ? by
DA
Has anyone knitted a shawl from silk? I have two hanks of hand dyed silk
yarn that want to be a shawl. Would it block properly to open up the
stitches? Would it be better to use a less "lacy" pattern?

Sporgery by
DA
Sporgery is the disruptive act of posting a flood of articles to a Usenet
newsgroup, with the article headers falsified so that they appear to have
been posted by others. The word is a portmanteau of spam and forgery, coined
by Tilman Hausherr.
Sporgery resembles crapflooding, which is also...

Info on Junghans Fee and Lang Yarns Venezia, please by
DA
These yarns are not imported to the US, and all the info I have been able to
find on the web is from Dutch/German sites.
What is the suggested stitch/row gauge and needle size from the ball band?
Also knowing the meters/Yardage in a 50 gram ball would help.
Thanks,

Rules of Thumb? by
DA
There are a couple rules of thumb re the amount of stitches that are needed
to compensate for the decease in width caused by twisting a cable. One says
that "usually" a cable twist will decrease the width by 1 inch, and another
that says to increase the number of stitches by 1/3 (one in three)...

Shrugs/Vogue Knitting by

In the Fall 2005 issue of Vogue Knitting on page 63 is the picture of

sleeves picked up and knit downward to the cuff. Is there anyone else that
plans on trying the idea?

Suggestions for Katrina relief packages by
DA
Having made it thought several storms, here are a few suggestions.
Toilet articles (toothbrush, shampoo,soap, brushes, combs. etc.)
Toys, games, books and maybe a stuffed animal for kids.
Any type of food which doesn't have to be cooked, snack bars are wonderful.

Knitting Elan Patterns? by
DA
Most of the patterns there say to knit one ball with such and such size
needles. I understand the purpose of writing the pattern this way, but how
would you determine the proper amount to knit if you are not using the
specified yarn? Would you divide the yarn that you are using in to the
amount...

Elan Pattern Solved by

The DH as a warping wheel for measuring warp lengths for his loom with a
built in yard counter. Since I don't use his weaving tools ( or his yarn),
I didn't think about asking him about measuring yards in a skein.

Stitches East 2006 by

Did anyone else attend Stitches this year? Of the 15 that I have attended,
this one was the best. So much great yarn, it was hard to resist
temptation. 10 hanks of hand dyed cashmere, two hanks of hand dyed angora,
enough Prism Wild Stuff for two sweaters and a couple of bags of Berroco
yarns...
