Linda, I can picture it in my mind, but can't come up with a name for it. Kind of like a Moebious (and I KNOW that is not the correct spelling!). I actually saw one little thing that just sits on the shoulders and has a huge button - not sure if it is to use or just for decoration - at the breast...

I'm looking for a dragon pattern I can knit. I don't want to create a stuffed dragon. What I'm looking for is a pattern for a panel. I don't want cute, cuddly, or sweet. Nor do I want something vague. I know this is a tall order. I'm just looking for a little help here. If I end up creating...

I have a question about selling knitted things. Someone told me that it is illegal to sell items that you have knitted or crocheted and did not create the original pattern for. For example, if one were to make a bunch of dish cloths or afghans and sell them at a craft fair, that it is considered...

Hi guys....I have a large bag of very old linen...Now before everyone starts to drool.....LOL It is all very old and worn stuff. Some of it is indeed lovely, but it is all old and very worn....not use-able for anything else but making paper. I got it last year from a friend who could not throw...

I wanted to thank everyone for the help with my search. I really appreciate it. I think my best bet is to scan a picture and work it out on knitting paper. Thanks again. Laura

Congratulations on your find!!! I made a very nice wrap out of approximately 200 grams of mohair blend. If the mohair is really fuzzy, it can go a long way because it qualifies as a chunky weight yarn. :) Just work a nice lace pattern over large needles (I think I used 10's or 12's). Allaya

Hi - I'm ignorant, just picking up knitting again. I have some Noro lily yarn with a gauge of 5 sts/1" on US6-7N). I want to make a sweater. I've found a pattern that calls for this gauge: 3.5 sts. = 1" on size US #10-10.5 http://www.knitlist.com/2002/FransHood.htm How can I figure out the needle...

Welcome, Laura! This is a group filled with great folks with big hearts and seemingly endless advice on ANTHING to do with yarn and textiles! Enjoy! Hugs and Smiles, Donna in Filthydelphia (Hi Nora!g) -- "Great Spirits Have Always Encountered Violent Opposition From Mediocre Minds." - ...

Hi Sue, are you back? Did your package come through okay? A note on that, the grape (purple) will stain FOREVER, ask me about scrubbing countertops for years, LOL! Hugs, Noreen -- Noreen's Knit*che (Knitting, Crocheting, Tatting & BobbinLace are my NICHE in life...)

Shelagh, I have never bought mill ends. Mostly because I am never sure exactly what is in the bag. g Sounds as though you did well. Congratulations. Katherine

I just want to remind everyone that when you're trying to sterilize the plastic parts of a nubulizer in boiling water, you must not - I repeat: MUST NOT - go to the computer and read your newsgroups. Since the newsgroup is much more interesting than watching water boil I forgot about it until the...
