Today I received my brand new book on Modular knitting from Iris Schreier. It is a lovely book full with great ideas. I have down loaded all Iris lessons you can subscribe to and was waiting for her book to come out. It is worth buying. I bought mine through Amazon.ca, with an order from a...

Okay - I'm cheap - I'm looking for a free pattern. After much Googling, I can't find anything but a Fibre Trends pattern, and it's not free. I'll keep looking, but if anyone has a link to a free pattern, I'd be grateful. ;) Shelagh

I finally finished my NYCO. The second sleeve seemed to take forever! It is Guernsey gals from The Best of Knitters Arans and Celtics. I had to adapt it a bit to suit the gauge of DK instead of worsted or aran. This has inspired me to set up a photo album and so if you would like to have a look...

Well, I was sure to be immune, since I can=B4t knit. WRONG! I found a lovely pattern for crocheted baby socks and I am crocheting=20 socks like a crazy... I am making the second pair out of a yarn reminding of Regia. They are sooo funny and look very hippie in this variegated yarn! I have the...

I used the long weekend to finish a cotton top (knit in Knit 1 Crochet 2 Cotonade yarn.) i've been working on this for YEARS. I picked up the neck stitches, joined shoulders, picked up sleeve edgings, and only have the side seams to sew. It's too short. I measured it and it is right for the...

HELP!!! I am hunting for an old, old McCall pattern which was in a late 40's McCall's Needlework and Craft magazine. It was reprinted later, I got it, then we moved, and I haven't seen it. My son took a bride this summer and I thought this would be a nice way to further welcome her to the...

Here comes my whine: It's 2:15 a.m. and I can't sleep. I've managed to catch a cold from somewhere... amazing, considering how often in the day I wash my hands. I'm sneezing my brains out - soon there will be none left (groan), my head is congested and feels like cotton balls, and my nose is so...

Methinks I need to try some! Noreen ever trying exotic things.... -- change n e t to c o m to email/reply to me.

I didn't see anyone start an April FO's thread so thought I'd begin. I finally got my pictures semi-organized on flickr so am excited to share! FO's: Branching Out Scarf http://farm1.static.flickr.com/204/473704553_fae128b401.jpg?v=0 ...

Does anyone know if Mon Tricot knitting magazine is still published? I bought several copies years ago and still use them. -- Susan *************************** Knitting is a haven, a safe place where one can touch history, dance with art,

Hi all, I seem forever scouring the charity/thrift shops in my never ending search for yarns either for weaving or knitting. Well I turned up trumps last week when I spied 2 x 400 grms balls of Aran navy for a mere one UK pound, they are normally five and a half times that or more for this...

Cher opined thusly: If any of you are going away and won't be here for the signups for the January 6x6 which will be done at the end of DEC please say so, so that we can add you to the list. Cheers.....Cher I'm in. Again.

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit. It appears that instead of slipping the first stitch on each row, I was slipping the first stitch over the second stitch on each row. *sigh* BDR U! (that's a family thing, the school we are all alumni of, "Brain Dead 'R' Us") So started over, got the cuff knitted...

Welcome Margie:) This is not a list or a newsgroup.. this is a Community:) Ophelia Scotland "Margie" wrote in message ... Hi all,

Hi! Thanks to a tip I found on another newsgroup I can now show the little basket I made: http://tinypic.com/2ij3o9 Hope it will work! I apologize for the pic quality, the yellow is much better than that.

It's past noon, but we got up late and didn't breakfast until noon. It's a warm 57 degrees out so I've opened the doors to get the fried bacon smell out of the house. It still hurts my arm to knit much, but I've gotten halfway down the first sleeve of the Oddball sweater and am trying to figure...

Does anyone have any info/patterns for the Mattel Knitting Machine (a.k.a. Barbie Knit Hits)?

Grrrr. At "Back to School" day Thursday my son's teacher said (in front of about half of the third grade parents) something like "And we're sure is going to _dress up_ and demonstrate all her quaint spinning and knitting skills this year at our Prairie Days re-enactment." This of course focused...
