The white part of the blankie is done. I got it done today. WAAAHOUEE! I am so happy. I also have done 1 pink square, so there...

Just got this from my FIL and had to share with this group. 10 Reasons to Buy Lots of Yarn 1. It insulates the cupboard where it is kept. 2. It keeps the economy moving. It is my patriotic duty to support wool farmers, textile mills, and yarn shops. 3. It is less expensive and more fun than...

Hi everyone; For the most part my knitting has always been for the winter, but I was thinking about making some summer tops. (Interesting that I would be thinking of summer tops today, considering it's snowing like crazy outside.) I have a couple of bags of 100% cotton. Some of it's Sugar 'n...

I am thinking about ordering some 12 inch knitting needles to make some baby hats. Has anyone used them? And how did they like them? I use double point needles, but have a problem of dropping stitches which irritates me to no end, so thought these might be useful up to the point where you get...

As usual when we got to my mother's today, she had folders and bags full of things for each of us: clippings she thought we'd be interested in, old pictures of us (my sixth birthday party!), and things she'd sorted out of her late mother's attic. Guess what I got? A 1943 "Campus Classic" Vol....

Hi Everyone! I just had to share with you that my 6 year old son just had his first knitting lesson. He was very patient and caught on quickly. We casted on 10 stitches using worsted weight acrylic and #10 US needles. He completed 3 rows of garter stitch and is very proud of...

I finished a fir cone scarf for my friend who just got her Master's degree, and who I have recently taught to knit. I also finished Debbie Bliss' Lara jacket for myself. :) Regards, Ranee -- Remove Do Not and Spam to email

I had promised that I would send in the patterns I used for Mirjam's 6x6 squares, so here they are. (I hope there aren't any mistakes.) I also must point out that I use the long tail method of casting on and my first row is always the wrong side. I have adjusted the patterns to reflect this,...

I finally wore my 2004 NYCO last night! It is a long, fringed scarf knit out of Eros Glitz. I never thought that I would wear it because I decided that I am not a scarf (or shawl) person. Last night, however, I wanted to wear something different with my crew neck cashmere sweater (rather...
