Hi Guys, Well we've been busy for the last 24 hours. Sis delights in getting me to do things. Every time I do for Mom, With a great big grin, she will ask for some time too. We got mom a hospital bed today. This one is a crank but hopefully we will be getting an electric one before too, too, long....

I'm looking to buy some sock yarn in the UK by mail order, probably = regia or opal (or the other one which I can never remember the name of!) Has anyone here bought it through the post, and can recommend somewhere = that is reasonable priced, and with good service? Sarah (hoping there is evil...

has anyone worked with any of the crystal palace brand yarns? I picked up several today, mostly for scarf making and was wondering what others thought of them. Also they have a bunch of nice, mostly beginner patterns on their site http://www.straw.com/cpy/free_patterns.html LL Weisse

Hi wanted to let you know that my sis came home from the hospital today. Now I will really get to work! Star love, Norma

As soon as I get off this computer, and sew the seam on the second sock, I will have completed my very first pair of socks! These are MaryAnn's Seabury socks. I am so glad I have been reading about other's socks being "fraternal" and not identical twins! Mine are definitely fraternal. ...

I am proud to report that I spun ALL morning, and that I have (I'm terrible with fractions) halfway between 1/4 and 1/3 of what I'll need to make the infamous fair entry afghan! Yippee!

Hi, I'm looking for a copy of Knitters #61 .....it has a pattern for the Pi shawl with sleeves! I'm willing to trade, mostly what i have an excess of is knitting needles....of course since it is out of print, I'd also be will to take a zeroxed copy, and still send needles.....thanks for...

On a scarf in a 2 x 2 rib if I want to do a double selvage stitch to keep the edges flat do I add 2 stitches to the 4-stitch repeat or 4 stitches? Would this be the pattern or do i also need to add 2 sts at the end of each row? CO even number of sts (4 + 2) Row 1: k2, *k2, p2*

Coming out of lurkdom to ask: One of my friends gave me some yarn she no longer wanted. In the bag were skeins of "Schoeller Wolle Tina." It's in 50 gram (100 meters) skeins. It's made of 50% cotton, 20% linen, 25% viscose, and 5% acrylic. The label also says 3 ply. It was made in Germany. I have...

Ok... I'm working on the dog sweater and don't understand the neck shaping instructions. Here is what it says: Note: Both sides of the Neck are worked at the same time, using separate yarn for *each* side. This guarantees that both sides will be the same length. Maintain established pattern...

It must be the combination of this chest crud and the meds my doc gave me - I cannot figure out how to do this! I have 47 stitches on the front placket of a baby cardigan. I need to "evenly" space 5 buttonholes on the 47 stitches. My brain just isn't up to the task for some reason. Just...
