Hi all, A young friend has been playing violin for several years but didn't know about barbs in horse tail and other natural fibers. (Horsetail hair is one of the fibers used for the bow of a violin, cello, etc.) I tried googling, including using "pictures" in my search terms, but didn't find...

Today I received my october threads from Jan, beautifully and simply wrapped in tissue paper, with a postcard - thanks jan! (Now I know a much easier way to wrap the threads lol!) I'm looking forward to my neighbor's weekly visit tomorrow - she reads my mail for me and will describe the postcard...

Hi all, I've been googling extensively without success for a crochet hook holder - not cloth, because my crochet hooks are very loose in it, but one perhaps made of plastic into which I can snap my hooks securely, from small to large. I used to own one like this many years ago, but all I've...

Hi Nora and others, What do people typically make with 4-meter lengths of yarn? The exchange sounds quite intriguing, but I have quite a small collection of skeins of yarn compared to what it sounds like with most other people here. cheers, David

Kristen, It just occurred to me, something that you'd written, that you don't ch1 between dc3 clusters on the straight edges in a granny square. That's probably why I'm having trouble in my granny hexagons, I'll try deleting the ch1 between dc2 clusters on the straight edges. Cheers, David

Gwen, I have never before tried baking dessert items and have a few questions. You wrote: Place a quantity between two sheets of glad bake, roll out , turn the dough into the dish by just turning the paper over and cook at about 200c for around 1 to 15 minutes. David: I don't understand...

Hi all, I am a blind crocheter who wants to get an electronic version of the following book. However, the publisher is no longer publishing, and I do not know how to get in touch with the editor.

Hi Nora How specifically would you be able to help me? Are you selling the publication? Is there a way I can get it in electronic format which my computer can read to me? Thanks David In article ,

This is hilarious! Just this morning I was thinking that crochet and knitting groups are the first newsgroups I've read in which people don't flap at each other. lol David who frequently kills his yarn plants mind you, by accident

I have read many articles about linen and how if softens each time it is washed. I am about to make a linen sweater for my wife. I would like to know the pros and cons of washing the linen while it is still in the hanks before knitting as opposed to knitting the sweater first. I've heard people...

So I suddenly got a bug up my butt a couple weeks ago to knit a klein bottle cap. I've never done a complete knit project -- I learned how to knit and purl many years ago but never did anything with it. So I went to the library, got a book, and taught myself everything I needed to know for the...
