Hi there, I knit easy things................scarfs, baby aphgans, etc....I can do cables.... My problem is that how does one add a new skein of VERY BULKY yarn???? I started what I hoped to be a heavy floor mat for babies to use on the floor..for "Tummy Time"........strictly for comfort &

I shouldn't do this because I'm going to Wales tomorrow for at least two weekends but I do wonder why there's a sudden passion for socks. My close friend sarah has discovered them and knits them all the time, beautiful ones, a daughter is doing the same (the one we're going to see tomorrow)....

Took me ages to upload them sorry. A few of you asked for photos *g* http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/julie12970788/my_photos Look under the knitting title and there they are :o) -- Jules There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." http://360.yahoo.com/julie12970788

Hi, I am looking for a crochet afghan with a cross in the center. Anyone know where I can find one? Thanks Carla

This is crossposted, with permission, from a dog group I'm on (for Irish Water Spaniel lovers). It seems like a great way to use up non-spinable bits of fiber: When I was at the Canfield shows, there was a booth that sold wool toys for dogs. I bought a tug ring for Ariel and she loves it. You can...

So, I've been watching this newsgroup for about a week or so now, but I don't think that I have everyone matched up yet. So, I was wondering if y'all would be willing to introduce yourselves? My name is Abby, and I am a 1st year Math Major at Georgia Tech. I've been knitting for about two and a...

I've put a design up at http://www.gavelcade.com/weave1.gif In some of the rows, there are gaps of more than five stitches between where one color leaves off and where it picks up again, so theoretically Fair Isle will leave strands floating for too long. But this seems too elaborate for...

Looking for help from all you nice people again.... I've had to make a few pairs of socks and slippers lately but in different sizes...... I would like to know if there's a chart online that would give a comparison chart in inches TIA Emily

I use a Loopa weave thingy, although why its associated with the word weave is beyond me as you don't weave with it. just do a figure 8 and end up with a long looped scarf. So what is the ''magic loop'' many thnx Cher

Spike Driver spun a FINE 'yarn': I was just interested. Do you use the 4 or 5 needles, 2 circulars, or the magic loop? I use the 2 circulars or the magic loop more than I do the 4 or 5 needles. I prefer the Magic Loop. I use the 2 Boye needle sets I have until I have need for a...

Aaah, a spa. It used to be that you needed a Hollywood mansion to even entertain the thought; but now, home spas are popping up everywhere you look and with good reason. The basis for all the "ooh-ing" and "aah-ing" when people settle down to soak in their home spas is "hydrotherapy" or "water...

Finished my first pair of hand knit socks :o) Made them in a very loud variegated cheap yarn. Now They fit better than any other socks I've ever worn and I am probably going to have to now replace all the socks in my socks in my sock drawer with 'real' socks *g* -- Jules There is a very fine...

How many projects do you have on the go at once ? I planned on finishing both socks before I started something new but my 4 year old got all excited over a pattern on the internet and I found the perfect yarn today for it so started his jumper this afternoon. So now have 2 projects to...
