Since I have been reading here I notice comments about knitting at a speed of and I just want to know what the reason for knitting fast is? Do the speed knitters do this because they have a forced timetable .......like making samples for yarn shops, competitions or for selling. My situation...

I'm not looking for any hat. I've done several in the past month looking for something a teenager would wear with a brim. My first couple look like hats a jockey would wear. The last one I made looked like something the Confederate army would wear. I just bought another Ravelry pattern and...

Hello everybody I just wanted to write because you all seem to be much wiser than me in lots of things, and since I don't have a mother to get any advice from, I consider you the next best thing. :) I finally got some time to myself today. I was excited at the thought because I have an aran...

.... and we traditionally read crime in the Easter holiday. Don't ask me why! After one not too good (but not too bloody either,) crime book, I now read a much more interesting book! Well, I have just started, I'm on page 43 out of 550 pages!LOL! I guess Mirjam can tell us about this author.

Hi group! Remember when lots of ladies owned MANY wigs? They were kept on those styrofoam 'heads' (stands). Where can I get two or three of these in a hurry? Reason: I'd like to use them for displaying Mobius at the Mile- Long-Yard-Sale. TIA, Hugs, Noreen --

I need help! I know a lot of folks like "felting"...but it simply hasn't been something I was "into"...until now. I am supposed to teach knitting at a store that uses Lion Brand instructions. The current one is a "felted purse". Okay...I followed everything in the instructions TO THE...

Hi, don't post often but have a real poser of a question.. My mother recently gave me the stockings she knitted for my sister and I about 50 years ago, but they are badly discolored. The white and light colored areas are yellowed and they generally look grungy. I think they are wool or a mostly...

I have been thinking of crocheting some throw rugs, as some of you know from my recent posts. One of the patterns I like calls for 30 balls of J&P Coats Speed Cro-Sheen, article C44. It is for a bathroom rug that will measure 24 by 36 inches. It is crocheted with a double strand of thread, which of...

Well, I knew it would be understood here... Since about 6:30 p.m, I've been d'loading pix from my favorite clip-art newsgroup, to keep myself occupied during the boring part of a project. Said project is skeining some yarn for over-dyeing. (not that it isn't a perfectly lovely fuschia color...
