Just popping in for a minute to ask, after all the discussion over knit socks, if anyone's had any luck with crocheting socks? I've just attempted my third pair and no matter how much I try, they don't turn out. I have a pattern (and before you ask, yes, Nora, I DID follow it) but only the very...

Today I took out a shawl which a daughter knitted for me some years ago from her own spun Hebridean black wool from the two Heb ewe lambs I gave her. She'd chosen the stitch 'candlelight' because I made beeswax candles. It had huge holes in it and it's unsalvageable. Does anyone know of any...

Hi Everyone, Since Wooly and Noreen were talking about yarn and the weight, I thought I would let you know what is happening with the Red Heart Super Saver, it's being downsized too. A couple weeks ago I was at Walmarts and picked up a skein of blueberry pie and one of plum pudding. I thought the...

Hi, I have chosen a very simple pattern for a child's pullover. It's from Pattons "Happy Days" #684. On page 12, called Up, Up, and Away. It calls for Patons Astra, which I don't have and can't get, but I do have Wendy Peter Pan four ply. Will this work? Sorry if it's a silly question. My...

I was at my local Walmart and saw a yarn by Bernat called Lu Lu. (Its a very plush/fluffy yarn.)

I can't find patterns nor is this yarn mentioned anywhere....
