I just purchased a used Brother Model KH-840. I've never in my life used a knitting machine and when looking at the manuals that came with it, I am totally overwhelmed. I just recently learned to hand knit and love it and thought a machine would be fun. Now I'm wondering if I made the right...

Cher, this is Maggie, knitting madly in the desert.....I have a cocker spaniel who needs a new coat...the air conditioning gets nippy......is the puppy coat shareable??????

The site's back. There was a problem with the server. The two latest pages still aren't showing their pictures but you can at least see Cher's pattern - if you haven't already seen it that it! The picture at the top of the index page isn't showing either. http://www.techcopy.demon.co.uk/ Cheers,...

I have a huge list of crochet magazines and patterns for sale - $2 each. Some are worth more according to e-bay, but I don't want to mess with e-bay. Will consider trade for Lopi Yarn, or Lambs Pride bulky. If you'd like to see a list, send an e-mail to and I'll send it in a...

I guess I am too late for this one but I would like to be in the next please:) Ophelia

I have finished my vest, not what I really had thought as my NYCO at first, but did not find the yarn I wanted for a nice sweater. I got so bored of the colores when knitting it! But it is warm, and my pupils thinks the colores are nice, so OK! http://tinyurl.com/36gzh AUD ;-))

I just received my squares from my Feb 6 x 6 partner. They're great! One ultra-bright rainbow square and one shades of purple and white square. And for an extra added bonus she sent me a neat little hematite beaded stitch holder. Yay! Another cool doodad for my toolbox! -- Regards --Anne Blogging...

I do not normally send these kinds of things but this is an extract form my daughter Shauna's e mail to me - and we all know what opening fake sites can do !! so i figured the group might be interested. "On the subject of "fake" emails, I got a fake email from PayPal recently (PayPal is the thing...

Good Morning Everyone, A friend of mine called me at 8:30 this morning to ask my help and now I'm turning it over to all the experts on RCTY. She wants a not too difficult crochet pattern for an afghan made from Red Heart Plush Yarn. She specified that she doesn't want anything too lacy. Can...

Hi all, I've never been one for following rules, but since this is the second time this situation has occurred, I thought I'd post out about it: It's considered bad form to put someone's full name in the subject line of a newsgroup post. I really don't have a big problem with people doing this...

First, Thank you Nora for your direction....Now Cher, I am the editor of the Cactus Needles Knitting Guild in Phoenix Az....I would love to use you doggie coat and the pictures for our March Newsletter, of course giving you full credit....May I? and if so, how shall I refer to you, all I know...

Hi all, I am new to both knitting and this group so my apologies if this is not an appropriate question for this forum. I found this pattern for a hat I would like to knit: http://knitting.about.com/library/weekly/aa020303.htm But I'm a little confused by some of the decreasing in the...

You've got to see Cher's cute doggie pictures! (and mine) Apologies to any of you who responded to my last posting. The site wasn't fixed - in fact it was worse than before - but it *is* fixed now. Sorry for the daft typo too! http://www.techcopy.demon.co.uk/ If you still experience any problems,...

Hi all (Major Whine coming - and I do have cheese in the fridge) After getting my car stuck in the driveway for two days in a row, and listening to the wind scream for a week, I think I'm about to lose it. I know I have a ski holiday coming up, but I'm so sick and tired of snow and wind, that...

Does anyone have the pattern for the Rowan Big Wool Hat? (the one that curls up at the bottom). It would be really nice if someone could help me out- i need to finish the hat by tomorrow night! Thank You! -Rebecca

I have got two beautiful squares from Joycelyn in Toronto today! I love this 6x6 project, and as I said to her: Now I begin to think that it is possible to make something from the squares I get! Thank you, Joycelyn, I have mailed you! -- AUD...

Hi everyone, I need some help here and I know someone can help. Now first the story. I received in the mail a lovely crocheted cushion cover. The problem, a hole had been ripped in the package and somewhere between England and here a bottle of strong perfume had broke and had saturated the...

Hi everyone, My Mom sent me an article from the Sunday, Feb. 22 issue of the Victoria, B.C. Times Colonist. In it is an article on page B4 about a woman from Saanich, B.C. who knit covers for her 6 seater sofa. It took 2 1/2 yrs. and 15.3 meters of yarn.. The sofa now has a lovely cable...
