Hej! Aud, you should even be able to read the text (since it's in Swedish) and those of you who read German can probably get the gist of it. Those who don't can just have fun looking at the pic! I think I look like one of the Norns untangling the red thread....

Hi everyone, I haven't been here in quite a while. Once in a while I stop by and skim the messages. I asked for help way back I think in October of 2005 when I started knitting and you all helped me so much.

The tip of my left index finger is healing very nicely, but still very very tender. I was cleaning the blade and in a blink of an eye, my finger was about 3/16 of...

It's Democratic Primary Election Day here in Connecticut with all the buzz of a national election due to the Lieberman/Lamont primary. The Page One headlines of the three daily papers which arrive on my doorstep with a thud before 6AM read: "TOSSUPS - Gaps closing in senatorial, gubernatorial...

Du-uh... I'm having one of *those* days... I'm trying to figure out something and the brain is playing hide-and-seek... and it makes me MAD because it's something SIMPLE, and it makes me feel DUMB! Call for Help! How in the heck do I do a mitered shawl? I want it triangular, but I also don't want...

It certainly has been a struggle, but I think I'm making some progress with color. Els, I still don't know how you got the back of those patterned squares you sent me to be so neat, mine look pretty straggly in comparison! Hopefully that will get better over time. I did do one of my...
