Well I can't stand it anymoreG I have decided to try knitting socks using double points. I have the DVD Sock I How to Knit Socks on 2 Circular Needles by Nenah Galati and after watching it several times and working along I just don't get it.....keep getting mixed up on which ends/needles to...

I was starting on my first tam, after deciding to go simple with just a few colors. I chose red, petal, and natural. After knitting a few rows of red, my delayed reaction brain remembered that red is notorious for bleeding. Will the bleeding stain the natural yarn? Is there a way to prevent...

Do any of you get Sandra magazine? My local newsagents have been getting it in for me for years, but the Jan 2007issue never arrived and when they queried it with their supplier (John Menzies) , no-one knew what happened to it or when the next issue is due. Has anyone got their copy, or has it...

Hey all! My name is Abby, and I've been knitting for about two and a half years. I had to set Thunderbird up in order to read Newsgroups for my Computer Science classes, and I discovered there were some groups in here that are wicked exciting. Anyways, I'm so glad to meet you all!

So... I just got an email with some of the pretty awesome things that Michaels is putting on sale until tomorrow. I am sooo excited. I am going to get on MARTA in about 2 hours to go clear out their yarn section. :) Most skeins are 1-3 bucks each. Not too...

Years ago i knitted my husband a sweater with cables that crossed in the middle and went sideways and back , a kind of Grid ,,, He still wears it , For myself i have a pink one that has several kinds of cables ,,, and since i knitted it downwards i could lengthen it when fashion suddenly returned...

Hahahahaha I used my 40% off coupon at Michael's today to buy The Knit Stitch by Sally Melville..... I know this book has been out for a while, but I LOVE it! I had heard of the Einstein Coat, and that has gone into my WIM's Love the Baby Arnold coat - I have a pregnant step daughter, and am...

I have been enjoying a class on cable knitting and what a beautiful technique it is! It is surprisingly easy to learn from an incredibly talented and patient teacher along with my wife as we practice together! ;) Why I am posting about cable knitting is that I suspect a few have avoided the...

As i didn`t have enough wool for a moebious , to match Dauhter`s hat , and the color was varigated , dug into stash and added some Monochromatic threads that are included in the varigated and indeed it looks great to add a stripe doubled ... i take care that `change color point` is not too...

No posts at all for today?? I even went over to Google to check to see if there was a problem with Usenet. So, I'll start: It's been bloody cold for the last couple of days with an Arctic blast coming straight south to the prairies. I couldn't even run the woodstove for fear of no heat on our...

Hi all and Blessings from Wellington NZ!! I have a query that I know will get answered here so here I go... I saw a woman wearing a cardigan and it looked like a lovely openweave stitch *not hand knitted* and the underside of the garment looked like fishermans rib. I've not knitted this stitch...

Hello again - Dunno if you remember, I intro'd myself some 2 months back with my initial ventures into socks. I've been so into the socks (and umm, the job, and umm, the holidays, and my sick cat... oh well) that I've not been posting. I fell into a sock rut with sock #7 (or pair #4a, I'm not...

Tipped off by WoolyGooly a few days ago, I looked into the "jogless jog" to deal with the pulling up of the last stitch in one round into the next round, killing the smoothness of the pattern when the color changes from one round to the next. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounded like it would...

The new year is 17 hours old (in my time zone) and no one has started a NYCO thread, ... so I'll take it upon myself.* While I've sworn to knit something from the stash for every new yarn acquisition, the old-yarn project is on the needles (a child's vest sweater for charity), and I am ready to...

So, like topic says, I'm looking for a software that I could use calculating/drawing sweater-patterns and also something that I can draw aran-type patterns. Has anyone tested or using any software like this and has good/bad to say about it? Johanna
