Looking for Isoveli yarn by
Beth Gray
I am desperately searching for one skein of Novita 7 Veljesta Isoveli
(7 Broder Chunky) in moss green (034). I'm almost out of yarn but I
still have one sleeve to go! I've contacted the company and they were

and they don't have...

Beth[_3_]
Just wanted to say hi.
I am new at crochet. Hopefully I will one day be new at knitting. That's
what I set out to do and then found that the crochet hook suits me better.
Knitting is not a natural activity for my hands but I'll get on that
sometime.
Anyhow, name's Beth. Hello all. :)

Rainbow crocheted baby blanket by
Betty
I ran across a pattern on the internet of a baby blanket/afghan that
looked like numerous small rainbows stacked on each other. I cannot
find that site again. I'd really like to do this blanket. Has anyone
seen a pattern like this?

Hello everyone. I am new to the list, but not all that new to knitting. I
have been knitting the long scarves and have not figured out the best method
of finishing off the yarn after all stitches are bound off. The tail is
what I can't figure out how to hide/wrap up. I have been using a...

Hi,
I'm Bev. I've been spinning since about 1989 or so. I know how to
knit, sort of, but really don't enjoy it much. I do a lot of crochet
and I prefer to use my own yarn. I've spun about everything that's
spin-able and most like to spin natural fiber just as it comes from
whatever type of...

Felting wool/acrylic blend? by
bex
How well do you think a 30% wool/70% acrylic yarn would felt? I've never
done it before (felting, that is), but I found several interesting yarns at
the Jo-Ann fabric store. They are actually Jo-Ann's own brand. One yarn
that I want to try to felt is 100% wool and I know it won't be...

I'm trying to design a summer poncho for myself. I bought some Reynolds
Cabaret cotton tape for the sole reason that it was really cheap and I liked
it, without knowing what I would do with it. I think I've settled on trying
to knit a poncho with it. I'm still deciding how to make it and how...

Buying needles online by

Has anyone here bought knitting needles from an online store? Is so, what
was the store and what was your experience with that store? I haven't had
much luck winning bids on ebay for needles, so am looking to buy online.
Thanks.
