Knitting a sweater. The neck is a K1P1. I'm binding off in pattern. The neck fits, but the binding does not stretch to go over the head. How do I make the binding stretch with the rest of teh neck?/ Any advice?

Hi everyone, As the subject line tells you we had a very cold morning this morning and the next few days are not going to be much better. We also still have the month of March to go through. I dislike wearing a hat but my ears could not take it anymore and I have decided to knit a headband to keep...

I'm a newbie to Knitting and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on an antique skein winder on Ebay. The # is 8171096977. Is this still a functional piece or just a collectible? Thanks

The wallaby pattern calls for gyrations to install the set-up for the pocket. Last night in my sleepy state I decided to knit the set-up row with both strands of yarn. Care must be taken to ensure that the "body" stitches end up in back when you turn the work to purl back on the pocket stitches,...

I got my CD with patterns for the Smartgroups RCTY knitalong. Let me tell you it is more than worth the money. I love having patterns come that way, and these are special.

I love the pattern but don't want to knit a very heavy coat that will pull out of shape very quickly, so I'm wondering if anyone has tried making it in anything other than the lopi yarn suggested, which seems to be quite hard to get hold of in the U.K. Any experience of making this coat, in any...

Any one around here watch the Regis & Kelly Show? I missed the clue Wednesday any know it (darn dr appointment) ?? Thanks, Marsha

Any advice for a kumihimo beginner ? I began with some woodturning, as I'm more used to working wood than fabrics. So that produced my marudai and a set of bobbins. First attempts have used cotton embroidery floss and the simple 16 thread rotating pattern described...

Howdy folks, I'm new to this newsgroup thing. Is their much for crochet posted here? Please tell all. Thanks, Kris

I'm a new knitter, and having just finished the obligatory scarf as my first project, I think my next project will be a pair of socks. I'm looking for advice on the types of fibers that work well in socks, and also for particular yarn recommendations. I was recently given a pair of SmartWool...
