I am delighted people enjoy making the moebiouses , and would like all to remember that it was Elizabeth Zimmermann who first converted this idea into knitting, But she used the idea of making a straight shawl and than sew it with an unvisible seam. it was my humble idea to crochet it from the...

Hello, I am a very new knitter, and I have run across the following direction: P2tog without slipping sts off needle, then K2tog over same sts. I understand the P2tog and K2tog seperately, but I can't seem to do the two together. Can anyone help? Thanks!

I've got two cakes of 6-ply unspun: one is White Buffalo in forest green, the other is Chinook in a brownish-black. I do have heap****loads of unspun 3-ply if you're interested in that as well. Make an offer fpr any/all.

Today I sprung (sprang?) for a circular needle organizer; I had hinted I'd like one for Christmas, but as usual, the hintee didn't take me up on it. Anyway, now my collection is neatly organized and hanging on the studio door. I have acquired circulars over the years in every size from 1 to...

Good morning All on this Sunday. May the rain fall all day !!!! we need it . The clouds outside look more like tangled threads, maybe the great knitter in the sky let her stash fall down ,,,,,,::: I have finnished several projects that were around Shawl was made like the Zimmerman , Pie are...

I went to Stash yarns in Putney yesterday - lovely shop full of imported yarns, nearly all natural fibres. http://www.stashyarns.co.uk/ Very helpful staff. When I arrived there was a knitting lesson going on and the five or six chairs in the shop were occupied by that. There was just about room...

My sister told me about this site for selling handmade stuff and I checked it out for curiosity and noticed they sell yarn too, so this maybe another source for those that need one more skein. However if this is old news sorry for a repeat. I don't want to sell stuff as I knit for gifts and...

Gee imagine that!! Anyhow, if anyone has any White Buffalo Wool especially in a darker blue or heathered blue that they'd care to part with, trade for, or what-have-you..... Please let me know. It's really too bad this yarn has been discontinued, as it's wonderful for felting and many other...

thank you for the tip on fine sanding milk paint! i just painted a kitchen table with milk paint & sanded the top as you suggested. it looks *wonderful*... so much so that i think i'll be doing all the repainting with milk paint from now on. thanks! lee -- Question with boldness even the...

Is there a basic "rule of thumb" of shrinkage when felting? It is wasteful for me to do a swatch & felt it as I have to have my DH hook up my "felting washer" and unhook the "front loader". Consequently, I don't swatch felting as the trouble I have to go through to felt at all. Any help,...

I "inherited" an old pair of wool hunting socks. I've had them around thirty years and love them. I use them like slippers. they stayed in good shape til now, a moth got them year before last. they have two or three holes in one of the legs, and one heel is wearing out. however, there is...

Hi all I just knitted a little coin purse using Rowan's lovely Bamboo soft yarn (on bamboo needles of course, bamboo is wonderful :) I attached a metal popper for the fastening, however I don't really like it as it's quite stiff and strains the fabric when it's opened - and it also breaks with the...

I'm not only a yarnsnob, I'm a needle snob too! With all the talk (well, posts, blogposts and reviews at various forums) over the past year, I thought I'd throw in my two-pence! IMHO: don't waste your money on the 'coveted' COLONIAL Circs (ebony or rosewood), the PONY's are exactly the same and a...

Hi all, I've just acquired about a kilo of merino fleece. The tips are very dirty and the person whom I got it from advised me to cut the tips off and discard them. Now I'm not a girl who likes to waste stuff and if I can clean those tips I will. I tried the usual hot water and detergent wash last...
