On topic: an author who "gets it" by Susan Hartman[_2_]
I read this paragraph this morning, and immediately smiled and re-read it, and re-read it again. Perfection! "It was one of the pinafores Saffy had sewn when Merry first arrived, made from a lovely piece of Liberty fabric ordered years ago, not because Saffy had a project in mind, but because...

Maybe a useful tip. by F.James Cripwell
I have been finishing off other people's UFOs for a few months. I have got back to my piece; a waterlily, for which I produced the pattern with Pattern Maker. So the pattern is on 12 sheets of paper. When I stopped, there was a large chunk of stitching in DMC 712, which went over two pages. So...

OT - Mini-Whine on Jobs by Ellice K.
So, just thought I'd share a small whine. After waiting 3 weeks for the "formal offer from HR" - once again - no job. The very nice HR chief sent me an e-mail - essentially saying that their corporate HQ in Germany has told them to hold off on new hires until after the 1st quarter. But...

Keepsake Needlearts by Maureen Grace-Miller
Does anybody know if Keepsake Needlearts in Center Harbor N.H. is still around? I just uncovered an old catalogue of theirs (2005) and fell in love with their kits all over again. However, when I'm clicking on their links on their web page, I keep getting 'bad request'. I hope they're not...

report on stitching night - stash enhancement by Susan Hartman[_2_]
Last night was Stitching Night at the Stiching Post in Catonsville, MD... a great LNS. Pizza for dinner, plus cookies, cupcakes, chocolate, and stash enhancement. Mucho fun! I was pretty pretty restrained in the retail area - bought some needed threads and treated myself to a couple of pieces...

Forgot to share this by Cheryl Isaak
Wandered into the local consignment shop on the unending quest for a small wall hung display cabinet the other day. Struck out on that front but I spotted some color in the pile of linen to one side on the "small item" display case. Lovely tea towel with a flower and geometric figuring -...

Really good read by Cheryl Isaak
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Passion-Play/Beth-Bernobich/e/9780765322173 /?itm=2&USRI=bernobich Ok - it's a small R romance/epic fantasy. Really interesting characters who grow and change with the story line. Nothing happens that doesn't advance the story line. And while it is a love story,...

Going on my first cruise - knitting question from an old-time poster by Blossom
Does anyone out there know about knitting needles on cruises? We're driving to the port - so no problem with the TSA. I've heard that I can take circulars in my carry-on, then I've heard that I can't (knitting needles have to go into my checked bags). Ditto for crochet hooks. If all else fails, I...

Yarn/Wool question - not entirely on topic by Cheryl Isaak
My mother recently gave me the stockings she knitted for my sister and I about 50 years ago, but they are badly discolored. The white and light colored areas are yellowed and they generally look grungy. I think they are wool or a mostly wool blend. I really want to see if they can be cleaned up but...
