Well, some time ago Aino SMSed me. She is alive and well, just like myself. I went into her place, because she invited me. And oh boy what a treatment she gave me! It felt royal! It was...ordinary. Videos, food, drink, knitting...but to me it feels royal. We have not met privately for a long...

My darling hunny was praising my skills the other day, and under the influence of said praise, I committed myself to making 5 throws as Christmas presents. I have realized the error of my ways, but would like to figure out a way to save face. Anyone know any stitches that would make a nice looking...

Here's a quick note from SUE CD..... Hello Noreen, Your message arrived, too - three times LOL!!! Things are very busy here - I have a stall at the local craft fair in two weeks time and practically nothing to put on it, so I'm knitting every minute I can. I haven't posted anything to rcty since...

I went to Stockholm in order to search a Christmas present for my little = nephew. While searching I entered a very lovely toy shop which carries also some = clothes. They had a very lovely children cardigan or sweater, I don=B4t know how t= o=20 call it. It was in various blue nuances, it had...

LOL, but definitely NOT like Claire's!!! Tomorrow I will NOT knit or crochet, tomorrow I will NOT knit or crochet...... (yah, right!) Anyway, since I posted, I've made 17 pairs of crocheted sock-slippers to have on hand for unexpected Christmas gifts. Hugs, Noreen --

Dear All, My biggest Work in Progress is finally Finished Off!! Tee hee! Born at 5.24pm on Friday (28th November) and weighing 7lbs 3ozs. We haven't picked a name for her yet as we just can't make up our minds and none of the ones we thought we liked seem quite right. She's adorable and pink...

Hi the Hmmm, I'm wondering and even asked......."Rob....who you been kissing"? lol! And even funnier, when I took him to the docs today to follow up on the lab results which were positive, the doc asked if he'd had any g/f within the last year LMAO! Aside from the tales of the "kissing...

Have you ever had one of those days? I've got to the end of the LAST Christmas jumper - Number 2's little sweater, and just as I have completed the sleeves and am about to finish off the whole thing and put it away I realize that 5, yes FIVE rows of neckband from the end I have run out...

Can anyone help me with the different needle sizes? There was a very useful post some time ago and although I printed it and put it away safe I can't find the printout. (Tidiness never pays :-) ! ) Also what are the different types of yarn in the US and the comparable yarn in the UK eg. worsted?...

This is from Karen in NC. Yes I'm still here, don't post much but I still read. Thanks for all the warm birthday greetings. On the knitting front I've completed a scarf and hat for my DD to wear as she going across campus to her 8 am classes. One of Fiber Trends felted bags (still have to...

Noreen -- if you have a Container Store in your area you need to find some of their fine package stuffing stuff. Think Easter grass made exceedingly small. Its in small cello bags hanging on an endcap in the seasonal wrapping paper display. Blend it with wool to add some glitz. "Older" spinners...
