Hi -- if I seem disjointed here it is partially because I am not getting all the posts. I do switch over to Google from time to time and tend to find more that don't show up here. JCT

Help! I'm knitting an afghan (http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/khs-autumnThrow.html) and need one skein of Lion Brand's Homespun yarn in the color "Arcadian." Unfortunately, LB discontinued that color. If anyone here has a spare skein in their stash, I'd be willing to buy it from you plus...

Apologies to Aud and Judy as I have not yet sent your squares for May and June. I won't apologize to Kimela yet, as it is still early days for August. Also apologies to Ray and Mirjam for the thread exchange. I promise to will catch up within the next week. Katherine

I have to apologize to all , for not writing much privately as well as giving answers i could ,, And most of all of droping out of the 6X6 , my last year has been not easy , 3 accidents that slowed down my work , both in art and in writing /researching, and some other family `things` all piling on...

Cher and Nora, and participants.... January was MY turn at administrating/organizing the 6 x 6 exchange, and April WAS to be my turn again, but I needed to decline and have one of the others take my round-about.... Cher has already asked if I can take May... which would put me back in...

Myka, I owe you a super-apology... in all the fuss in getting loads of packages out to friends, family and customers, I completely overlooked resending the envelope to YOU for the Thread Project! Hanging head in shame..... Hugs, Noreen -- STRIP *tease* to email me.

Yikes... I certainly didn't mean to start a major arguement in the group by voicing my own opinion about the killing of the man in New Orleans. I have all kinds of respect for the police... and wouldn't want their job at all. It just really upsets me to see people shot down and killed, when I...

Hello again - Dunno if you remember, I intro'd myself some 2 months back with my initial ventures into socks. I've been so into the socks (and umm, the job, and umm, the holidays, and my sick cat... oh well) that I've not been posting. I fell into a sock rut with sock #7 (or pair #4a, I'm not...

Came across a site with patterns that use this yarn for socks and wondered if any here have used it and what your thoughts are. Thanks! Donna

Recently, I said some bad things about bamboo needles. I must apologize. The SPN bamboo that came in this morning had a nice finish on them. I cut them down, and trimmed them into nice 12.5" bamboo DPN. Then, I drilled out a knitting sheath to fit these US size 5 needles, and now I have a...

Okay, so I've gotten a little bit behind. I'm sending my Apr and May squares out in the mail tomorrow (yea!)... Also, I'm not sure if all the appropriate people know---'cause I've lost track of this, too---but, I've also rec'd my Apr and May squares. I think I may be sitting out in June, though....

Rhonda and CNN Your squares arrived today. Thank you! They are great. I especially like the one with the flower on it. You do beautiful work, and the colours are lovely. Rhonda, I sent you a couple of emails, one with attachments. Let me know if they go through, ok? -- Star love, Norma PM OES

Can't believe it's the first of May already, and we still have cold temps, wind, and snow on the ground. ;( For April, I completed: 1. sewed together and crocheted an edging for a "hug" afghan for a member of our local knitting group. 2. 1 pair felted slippers for myself out of denim blue...
