Knitting needle size by Bea Whitson
I bought some yarn manufactured by a German company. For needle size it shows 2,5 3,5. I'm not familiar with needle sizes using commas. I've checked several sites on the net and couldn't find an answer. Can anyone here help. Thanks

Anyone working on anything? by Olwyn.Mary
I am mostly busy sewing, making some fall and winter clothes, but the asthma has subsided enough that I now feel I can knit while watching the tv news. Nothing complicated, mind you, just something to keep the fingers busy. So, I pulled out an old pattern - from the 1960s I think, I bought it...

Dear everyone I have recently taken up spinning. I'm still very excited about this move, and very pleased to discover that it's not eating into my knitting/crochet time as much as I thought. I'm just plying my first ball of yarn now, so will be able to see how I'm doing. I'm using an Ashford...
