I plan on making a baby blanket that I want to last for many years. I'd like to have white be the main color, but I wonder if it would yellow. Would wool or cotton be better for this? Or should I consider a different color? BB

Had a speed trial this morning. With circular needles, I knit ~ 100 stitches per minute. With DPN and sheath, I knit ~ 160 stitches per minute. I'm sure some of you can do better than that with circulars, but it is better than the 20 spm that I was doing 4 years ago when I asked the group for...

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a great place for me to sell my crochet work? I'm trying to make a little extra cash and I have been working on a couple of afghans and scarves. let me know! Thanks

I've got a craft stall booked for November and I'm hoping to use up all my stash of acrylics and thin guage crochet cottons. I've made quite a few hats and bags already but there are a few yarns that just don't see to fit right with the crochets stithes that I have been using so thought I'd ask...

Iran objects to stop developing the Atom, and promises the world that if any sanctions will be made against them , they will shoot rockets to my country, not to yours. In the first Gulf War , the coalition fought Iraq, and we got the Rockets, not yours. And you call me sanctimonious, i am just...

Finished two more moebius, totally revamping Cat's pattern to suit me... hoping to get pix up 'sometime' this weekend. I've just started the 4th one this morning, too. I *might* give two of them to my sister and mother as gifts... however, IF I do, I already know that 'praise', thanks, or credit...

Definitely selling ONE of my two wheels, so that I can get the Kromski I REALLY 'covet'. Thinking about selling my Artisan knitting machine too. As much as I would love to 'gift' JJ and Katherine with moebius, methinks I need to try to SELL some of them... Off to pack some more stuff and figure out...

rcty, .... note: I asked this question from the knitting designer herself, but so far no word back ... so, I'll ask here ... As for knitting up afghans, I saw a simple garter stitch pattern, but how do you knit up to 50 inches of garter stitches? _ _ _ _ _ ...

Around the first of the month, I finally finished the Aran-style cardigan vest I cast on January 1 (NYCO #2 (the multi-patterned socks) got finished in April)--a whole month before I anticipated. It's taken me a while to get it photographed, and I didn't realize until I was posting the pictures...

Allô Mirjam! Ta boite aux lettres est pleine! Fait mois, please, un petit peu de place :-)) Je viens d'envoyer un mail boomerang! Sophie D (feeling very French speaking today! Maybe because I'm too tired to make the effort :-)

Hello friends, I have a pair of sport weight socks to finish for our Grand Daughter and an afghan for our Pastor who is getting married. I hope to then get busy with my knitting sheaths to see if I can keep count of how many stitches I knit a minute. :) We have been busy here refinishing...
