I am a bit slow on the uptake but after thinking what Tamar was saying about store bought plied yarns. I realize that when you turn a bit of yarn with a Z twist up side down, it still shows a Z twist. Just to make sure I had that right I looked at it with a magnifying glass. At the same time I...

Message: Another upswing day... As I have said before, she likes it much better when the lights in her room are off. This morning when I turned them off and her eyes popped open, they stayed open and she was looking around the room. I ran up to her and started talking to her, telling her that...

A lady came into our office yesterday wearing a cute hat. The band was ribbed and it then appeared to be almost like a little scarf with decreases (it was done in popcorn stitch) until it ended in a point at the back with a pompom on the point. She said it would work well for ponytails since the...

I'm knitting a simple (yeah right...) scarf, it's the first thing I've made and I'm finding that my stitches are really tight on the needles. The actual knitting is coming out more or less fine, but it's such a struggle to get the stitches to slide on the needle, and to push the needle through...

Hi all, I just looked at the pattern I have for the bolero-type jacket I was going to make my DIL for Christmas - and decided that I didn't want to figure out the directions right now. I had looked online and in library books (and of course my own books) for something small, fancy/lacy and "girly"...

I am looking for the instructions for making a shoulder purse made out of a pair of denim jeans. Can anyone please help me with the instructions. I have tried for two days on the internet and no such luck. Thank you kindly. Tania

Man... I just looked at all the messages I have missed over the last couple of days. If I don't get to read them soon, I will NEVER be able to catch up. :o/ Anyway, I have to go now! Be back online when I can get here! Gem

Things are looking a little better! Actually it got worse before it got better... my van started acting up on Tuesday so I had to find out from the garage if they would fix it. Because of the financial situation (and lack of usual monthly payments) the garage (who have been very patient...

I am confused. Are you saying that Family Circle Easy Knitting has published the last issue and is being replaced? So if I have a subscription, I will get Knitsimple instead? So many questions today. Carol in TN "Els van Dam" wrote in...

It's my party and I'll knit if I want to! By Sharon Aris Published by Allen and Undwin 2003 Great easy and lighthearted read looking at the revivial of knitting and what knitting means to knitters form all walks of life! A great interlude between projects, or halfway through one :) Take care...

Hi, I was a member of this group a couple of years ago and dropped out to focus on things other than knitting (are there any?) I recently reacquainted myself with my needles and stash, and as many of you have probably experienced - have been sucked back into the world of knitting, again....
