Yarn ratio reference by
Vintage Purls
Hi all,
Can anyone here point me to an online reference that gives a
correlation of yarn count (e.g 110/2) to something a little more
understandable (for me) like WPI?

living. Lots of flag waving, singing, and dancing. Did you celebrate
today, too? Or is it on a different date? Some of my research after I
got back told me that it was on April 29, some said April 11, and some
said May 14. So I...

Drive band problems by
WoolyGooly
My Kromski has given me no end of driveband problems: the thing has
been eating drive bands at the rate of one per hour of spinning. The

Been gone for several days. by
Spike Driver
Still working on afghans for the homeless.
If I have missed any special days love and blessings to you all.
I was reminded that "Grandpa, you mean you don't have my pink socks
finished yet". Can a 4 year old Grand Daughter really know how to play
her Grandpa already? :)
I had to go out of...

Another moebius finished. by
Bernadette
It took a little more time than the first one I made as the stitch was
more complicated. The first one had an 8 row pattern where every even
numbered row was purled and only odd numbered rows were patterned.
This one was only over 6 rows but every row was patterned and took
total concentration. I...
