Probably you've seen the email already - the box just arrived and I'll be gorging on biccies later (after the boy is in bed, bad mom that I am I won't be sharing!). I'll get your packet out on Monday!

Could someone explain how to estimate a knitting gauge using "wraps per inch"? What I am trying to do is double a sport yarn with a gauge of 6 st & 7 rows = 1 inch on a US 5 needle to see if it would be considered a worsted weight yarn. My pattern calls for worsted weight yarn and US 10 1/2...

Hi all, thought I'd just pop in and update you as to why I am rushing through the mails of late....trying to be real quick. Well I've been visiting various special needs colleges in and around the South West UK for my son Edward, some of you will remember that I have a slightly autistic son of...

Just got my Big Book Of HandSpinning today, I must say, Amazon dot com was 12 dollars cheaper than anyone else, AND had free shipping.... which they said would take 4 to 8 days, and I got it in two. DH has ONE more thing to do to my wheel, then I'm going to give it a whirl over the...

Hi All, What a great newsgroup with a lot of useful information :~) About 2 weeks ago I decided that I would learn to knit. I bought some yarn and needles and went to the internet and figured it out. A couple of days later, my daughter had a new scarf and soon followed a matching hat. She...

Hi I want to knit a tank top in chunky yarn for a three year old. Can anyone point me in the direction of a free pattern? Also a hat for a three year old in the same yarn. It would be in k1 p1 rib and I don't really need a pattern for this. Just the number of stitches I should cast on. I can...

I make this with home-ground whole wheat pastry flour (gosh, I love my Whispermill!), you can use any low-gluten flour, however. Sift flour, measure 2C. Resift with 2t baking powder and a pinch of salt. Cream 1 stick butter (yes boys and girls, use real butter, it tastes better!) with 3/4c...

Hello Norma.....the picture Martin posted for you is a traveling an Ashfort Joy wheel made by Ashfort in New zealand. You can fold it so you can take it with you in the car or when you traveling by bus plane or train. It is an upright wheel with a single treadle and I would think that it is...

Just to let Noreen know and everyone else, I received her parcel of Koolaid this morning... She had sent it Sept 11th, standard mail, and it took all this time. Now if Slinky could just receive at least one of the other parcels I sent her, it would make my day complete. Cheers Noreen.......lv...
