I just received this last night and thought maybe some of you might have a little extra yarn and/or time on your hands to whip up a hat or mittens to send to Afghanistan. If you can get something to Afghans for Afghans by Oct. 24th, you will be entered in a drawing for a $50 gift certificate to...

I have a SmartList (Palm application) that gives approximate yarn requirements for a variety of projects. If you have the app and want the database let me know. On Mon, 13 Oct 2003 08:52:20 -0500, "Noreen's Knit*che" ...

http://www.fysh.org/~slinky/kitten I'm about three rounds away from having the body of my Aran done. I'll work the sleeves next, one pattern repeat per sleeve at a time - both sleeves at once each on its own set of DPNs. I may just finish this thing before the pattern for my Circumnavigated cardi...

For all of them I recently missed, I apologize, and DO want to wish you all a Happy Birthday, albeit LATE. Also, HIP HIP HOORAY to NORA, the keeper of the birthday lists, as well as anniversary's and locations.... Hugs, Noreen -- STRIP *tease* to email me.

Group, I've had still another harebrained idea, and want to do something special for someone in our group, who goes *all-out* for us... SO, if someone is interested, write me offlist to see WHO it is.... and what I'd like to do for her. I'll even head THIS one up...

I had a great day on Saturday, when I went to the Knitting and Stitching show at Alexandra Palace in London. It's just huuuge. Acres of retail opportunities, and some amazing exhibitions. And I met up for lunch with Ray Almond and her husband. Actually there was probably less lunch than chat,...

Barbara, your squares are in their way to Italy! I wonder how long it will take to reach you, To Nora in NY, they use 3-4 days; Now the way is shorter, but I don't think THAT matters. We'll see! AUD ;-))) --

I was looking for information type(s) of spinning wheel(s) in widespread use during the American Revolution. Haven't found anything I'll accept as authoritative as of yet, but I did find this website: http://www.memorialhall.mass.edu/activities/tools/ Video of various "colonial" tools in...

Yes I do. Here, at NetCorner. I just want to hide it from Aino, she would hate it if she saw it. But she won't. And no one hates someone because of something unknown. And yes, I use yarn at the very moment too. I make bags with sweets. Little bags. I tie them up with yarn. Nice using of...

Well, the place my working place is movingt to...it has a kitchen. And this place has only 1 glove and hotpad. I think it is time for MK to step on stage and do something for it. *grinnie* And you bet she will! She will visit in this place in the near future. Best: Pirjo

I tried on the sweater at knitting last night, to see if I was right in thinking the body was long enough. Those darned women insist it needs another pattern repeat (15 patterned rounds, 15 plain), so guess what I'm doing this evening? *lol*

Myka, I've just mailed off the thread project stuff to you.... Hugs, Noreen -- STRIP *tease* to email me. ---

Just wanted to wish anyone having a b'day or anniversary in the past while or today, a happy one! Also welcome to any newbies. I've gotten lazy and haven't posted all the times when I should have. -- Star love, Norma

Some time ago I posted here a message including the following: "I used to have a Norwegian pullover with a yoke pattern (not a rounded Fair Isle thing like an Icelandic sweater, but whatever you call that squared-off look), and it seems to me it should be possible to knit that like a Guernsey,...

Doing this an extra time this month, as I know we have a LOT of newbies, AND I've also learned of quite a few lurkers who haven't come out to play yet. http://www.craftown.com/crolesson.htm crochet lesson http://www.craftown.com/knitlesson.htm knitting lesson
