I've just received several bags of unwashed wool from a friend and am preparing to wash it this coming weekend. I was wondering what's generally used when washing medium grade wool in bulk. LL Weisse

Hi Stella, Your two lovely squares came today, along with an equally lovely postcard from you, thankyou so much. Now for the question, I see the yarn is in stripes of mauves two of them, is this two strands you are using sort of one row after the other, or is it two held together or what...I am...

Umm, I've lost your email somehow in a tiny system crash... Also, wanted to tell you, I feel awful, the things we agreed to offlist will go out to you tomorrow, as I rcvd. yours today, and it was gorgeous!! Hugs, Noreen -- STRIP * tease * to email me.

Due to some critical things going on in my personal life, I'll be dropping out of the 6 x 6 exchanges once my February obligation is met. I will continue to help Cher and Nora with administration team efforts. Hugs, Noreen -- STRIP * tease * to email me.

I spent some birthday money yesterday and had a little S.E.X. at the bookstore. Richard Rutt's "History of Handknitting" came home with me, as did a nifty little book entitled "Knit One, Felt Too". Similar in its content to "Felted Knits", but written in a style I prefer. She uses a lot of...

Hi all, Right lets get a few things straight. First of all I started the six by six square exchange back at the end of August. It was done as there was a particular slump in the mails at the time, regarding knitting and communicating with each other, especially where we could have been...

I read you, ladies and gentlemen, but I have to connect to the news server and then dowload the group every time I turn on the PC IF I want to send. My provider is working on it,but it is a bit difficult to know what is read or not!!! I am fine, but as you see, I spend far too much time on...

If anyone knows of a web site that I might get a slipper pattern form me and my kids. I'd appreciate it greatly. If you can send me the patterns directly to my e-mail. Thanks Happy Knitting.

Hi all, anyone tried this?? I am intrigued with the pattern for socks in the Twisted Sisters sock workbook, which Slinky sent to me. You basically spot two or more colours onto a white(or other colour roving) and seal it into clingfilm and steam for 20mins. I'm trying it with Koolaid...

Shawl: just two more pattern blocks to finish, then I start picking up around the edges...my poor ole fingers...lol. Rug: I have a rug on a loom at the workshop...a cream background with primary colour stripes going up through it. I'm not getting it done that fast, as it isn't my own loom so...

Hi all of you that spin. I've been messing about with the drum carder for ages now, and have quite a few mixed colours that I want to make a throw out of.. this is a new play technique for me, but this is what I've done.. Some of you will remember that back at the beginning of the summer, I had...

I just learned how to crochet last week. I was at Michael's because of their yarn sale and just got overwhelmed. I would like to crochet, single stich, a lap blanket. I want the yarn to be soft but I just don't know what type of yarn would be good. Also how much yarn do I need? I am not using...

I received my squares today from Janise - they are lovely, I am really pleased with the colours and the stitches, and they are beautifully knitted! Thanks, Janise! Liz

Okay, I decided to learn to knit for the year 2004 and so far I have the knit stitch down, but its really tight. Can someone share a trick or something to loosen the stitch a little? I want to get this one down before I try the purl and then try working the two together. Thank you Kristy

This is the pattern I am looking for, tried all the sites listed with no response from them. This looks like a large rectangle, any input appreciated. Dawn http://www.louet.com/molin.htm
