After all, THE LAW IS THE LAW. ....................................................... So..

I've been searching the net for a few days, have a stack of over a dozen shawl patterns I printed out thus far, plus a few more just bookmarked. Anyway, my Generation Y sister would like something closer to what Jessica Simpson wears on her MTV reality newlywed show. Tho I have not yet seen...

All the "Knit/Crochet Dishcloths" booklets I've seen say you have to use 100% cotton yarn. Why is that? Can't I use my handy acrylic stuff? And my name is too boring and common. There are tons of Pams out there. I can get lost in the shuffle. I need a unique name like Mirjam so you don't...

Hi all, I have a bag of very soft black Alpaca, and would like to blend it.....but what with? I am thinking plying for socks, and think maybe I'd go for the tussa silk, but not sure if this mix is gonna be hardwearing enough...any idea's.. here are the options available to me from my stash of...

Yarnstandards.com is the end of ski sweaters and fisherman's ganseys. I am not saying that the Standard Yarn Weight System is the cause of the end of ski sweaters and fisherman's sweaters, any more than a bridge is the cause of the end of a road, but when you get to the end of the road, there is...

The socks I knitted recently for No 9 grandchild were from a wartime pattern and had an 'auto' heel. The pattern book had several other sock patterns and I was interested to see that some had 'French' and some 'Dutch' heels. For interest I knitted one each of these heels, they were both...

This is hilarious! Just this morning I was thinking that crochet and knitting groups are the first newsgroups I've read in which people don't flap at each other. lol David who frequently kills his yarn plants mind you, by accident

Hi: Did anyone see the grey poncho that Martha Stewart was wearing when released from prison? It looked crocheted with a scalloped edge and appeared to be made out of chenille yarn. The pattern looks familiar to me. I checked Lionbrand's website but I didn't see it there. The newscaster listed...

I've finished the shawl I was knitting for my MIL for Christmas, and have posted a pic in my Yahoo album. Here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/57fjc It's knit with a very soft, grey mohair yarn that unfortunately sheds a good deal. I've washed the shawl and given it a good brushing to try to get...

I'm leaning towards declining the invite, as I don't like the way yahoogroups 'works' compared to usenet. IMHO, a 'forum' would be more LIKE usenet. Noreen -- http://yarnwright.com/books --- avast! AV: Outbound message clean. Virus Database (VPS): 0620-2, 05/18/2006

This is realy the end of Saturday for me, but I am a little late in getting to bed, thus it is Sunday already. We were watching funny animal commercials and at the same time, I was knitting my 6x6 for September. Being adventurous, I am trying my hand......again.....at a lace pattern. I do not know...

I got another 5 rows made on the Icelandic shawl while at the dentist again today, with no mistakes this time. Had I known what she was going to do I'd have taken a LOT more valium today than I did on Wednesday - which would have been bad for the knitting but good for my mental state. For those...

I'v e wondered since i first joined this group, how do you pronounce your name???? I won't insult you with the ways i have come up with......i'm sure they are all wrong!!!! Maggie, madly knitting in the Arizona desert!!!! (where is it about 110 degrees, ok, really about 105!!!!!)

Today I finished knitting my first moebius - a scarf and hood combined.. My husband has promised to take some pictures of it tomorrow so I can post them. It has been a peculiar experience, albeit a most enjoyable one. When I cast on and worked the first row I did not think there was any way...
