Hi Kira, I didn't see your posts here, found them on google, but wanted to let you know I have you down for Dec. and I've marked my list that you have received your Nov. squares from Millie. Hugs, Nora

Starla Torres spun a FINE 'yarn': test I *see* you, so I guess you *pass*! (Just don't pass GAS, lol!) Noreen in one of *those* hilarious moods, grin

I somehow managed to break a bamboo needle. Not a little 2-mm sock needle, of which I've broken many in bamboo and wood (I keep extra sets to replace the broken ones as I go along), but a 3.75-mm. I was making a dishcloth when I felt it give way about 2" from the tip. Guess I don't know my...

Until this thing comes off my arm on Monday. Then I can catch up on two weeks of SCRATCHING!!! And maybe knit a little if I'm lucky. +++++++++++++ Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a...

Thanks to all of you who helped with the math problem...Now, I forgot to tell you what I'm making....it's a vest, it was originally from Whiteliesdesign.com ---but the lacy pattern was to loopy and sloppy for my liking. I changed the gauge and went to smaller needles..from 10 1/2 to 8! ..that's...

OK, who is the math wiz out there????......here is the question. If I have 324 stitches on my needles and I need to decrease 50, what math formula do I use to figure this! Thankfully, I have the knitting math program, it figures it for me.....but for the life of me I can't come up with...

Hi everyone, Now the problem of decreasing has been solved, who can tell me how we figure out increases??? I have 35 stitches on my needle for the ribbing on a sleeve. I have to increase to 49 stitches and place them evenly around, so that means add 14 stitches. What is the easiest way to figure...

I brushed out all my horses hairs and I saved it. I am thinking about making my daughter a little belt out of it. Adding some beeds and all. Has anyone here ever done this on here before? I was just wondering. Love to have any tips that might help make it easier to do. Well I gotta go. Thanks,

Threads back through Aaron to a comment Mirjam made which is: Almost like Breast feeding in public, Used to be done only by "Primitive women" than became Done by all who felt like doing it. Nobody now in Westen world would say a woman breast feeding is Primitive ..... My response is: You'd be...

General lessons: Check your gauge often and at many locations on the work. When I was doing the pattern overhaul I failed to account for the fact that a stranded fabric made with sport-weight yarn would be thicker than if I used worsted-weight and made an unstranded fabric. Fortunately my gauge...

Do any of you have any good online sources for thick n thin yarn (no particular brand)? I've ordered from a variety of places in the past but I'm having trouble finding any now. Thanks, Shana

Saw this in a yarn store ad, and wished the blog "You Knit What?" was still in existence. I love the look of most Noro yarns, but this sweater design is unbelievably ugly..... no wonder there are derogatory remarks made about "your aunt's knitting"... enjoy...

Have you seen this one from the BBC? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8148730.stm Myself, I think it is more weaving than knitting, but, I wasn't there to see it. Olwyn Mary in New Orleans

There is a new recall on dog food due to potential salmonella Contamination. Go here to see the listing of dogfood that is recalled: http://www.petcare.mars.com If you wondering where I got that it came off straight from one of my friends on Unsolved-mysteries.com Pam-Doggirl3

I'm just musing here, but was curious what everyone's "take" on this might be. Firstly...I don't "do" circular needles because I have to brace my arm to knit due to a back injury, ergo, I "have" to use long straight needles, and I don't mind seaming a bit (I enjoy looking at and stroking the peice...
