Traditional Dutch Fishermen's Sweaters by Vintage Purls
Those of you who enjoy the history of fishermen's sweaters may be interested in a book I recently acquired: "Knitting from the Netherlands" by Henriette van der Klift-Tellegen. I've put a little "book review" of sorts on my site if you are...

Boy's Don't Knit! by Padishar Creel
As a 'boy' who knits I was intrigued with a children's picture book entitled, "Boy's Don't Knit!" by Janice Shoop. It is a wonderful book and I really enjoyed that dealt with the subject of boys knitting. A grandfather informs the boy in the story, "Boys' fingers are just as nimble as girls', and...

The ideal yarn for baby blankets? by Padishar Creel
As of late, there has been a rash of pregnancies among our friend's children. What would be the idea yarn (brand as well) for a baby blanket? I have done one in cotton but it isn't very colorfast. One in a 75% acrylic 25% wool blend but I am worried about pilling and allergies. I like the...

Braided Rag Rugs? by Bob Young
OK don't yell at me yet. But redirect me to a more appropriate group if you know of one. I am retired, 64 years old and besides an addiction to the internet and lots of friends, I have been wondering about a 'mindless' hobby, so to speak, to do while I am sitting around and just listening to...

I was curious...what projects everyone is working on at this time? I have just finished a taboggin (sp) type hat out of cotton (for a friend who was sceptical that knitting could be anything other than bulky and "grandma ish"), a small warm garter stitch triangle shawl for a friends mother and...

Almost an FO by hesira
Hi Everyone, I've been lurking but not posting much lately. Busy with the boys and summertime. I finally sewed the vintage baby jacket together. I have a few loose ends and it needs buttons, but it turned out pretty well. I don't know if you remember the dye lot problem, but I had to use a...

Surprise Sweater! by joan8904
and I couldn't be happier! Now I wonder if it will fit? This weight yarn and needle combination produced a toddler sized sweater. Do you think that worsted yarn on 8's or so would make a sweater for a 5 or 6 year old? Has anyone made the adult version? It was so much fun! I didn't know...

Saturday night by WoolyGooly
Tonight I have on needles: One pi shawl that is giving me fits in the 576-stitch section. Feather & fan is normally a pretty easy pattern but for some reason my poor brain is having trouble with it A Domovoi shawl from _Folk Shawls_. Ought to be an easy-peasy pattern once I've got some rhythm...

Sunday AM: coffee, RCTY and blog-surfing by YarnWright

I just wanted to stir things up, as Christine and Bernadette pointed out, things were too quiet for me. My main blog (weblogs.us one) is being moved to a...

Heresy! Damned Heresy! On washing woolens by No Name
A stack of mittens were on the drying rack for my ski buddies, so time to get on with the next gansey. It is a stitch pattern that I have messed up before, so there was a practice swatch. The yarn I used for practice is an oiled Canadian yarn that has been spun just the same way since the days of...

How to kill a gansy by No Name
Dye it! Who would have thunk, that dying a garment could be that much harder than dying skeins of yarn? Aaron

Name that fleece by Vintage Purls
Hi all, You excellent advice is sought. I bought (via online auction) what I thought was a kilo of merino (that's what they called it in the auction description). It arrived today and it's most certainly not merino. I suspect it's English Leicester but I thought I ask you to try identifying...

OFF TOPIC.. about my bracelet by Not Likely
While I was visiting my cousin two weeks ago I mentioned that her colourful bracelet was cute and would go with just about anything because of all the colours. She couldn't remember where she had bought it, just that when she saw it she thought it was cute too. Later that evening, she took it...

When is yarn too old? by [email protected]
There's some yarn in a storage locker (one of those shed-row-store-it- yourself places) that I would love to use because most of these are no longer manufactured. However, since it might be 15+ years old and under questionable storage conditions, is it able to be salvaged? It contains skeins with...
