kumihimo! by
Norma
Well, I went to the mail today, and what did I find? I received a wonderful
envelope from Els! Not only did she send me the stranding and weaving
techniques info, but she sent me a kumihimo kit! Such neat colours too! What
a treat! I know what I'll be doing tonight. (grinning from ear to ear)...

If you don't see me... by
MouseCLP
If you don't see me for awhile, it's because I'll be out of town for nearly a
month.
DH and I had a vacation planned for next week, to travel to KS and MO to see
his father and my mother. A couple of weeks ago I found out that my Mom has
scheduled her knee surgery for the 27th (the Monday...

where's the THRILL in craft? by
BW
I've been asking myself the question "what is thrill". But, the only
way to work that out is to ask "what do people find thrilling?"; an
anecdotal rather than scientific approach. So here I am, asking the
same question in the crafts scene.
After a little searching, I came up with the following...

A crochet joke, cute by
Cori
I was reading some crochet mail tonight and a poster sent this in. I
thought it was cute and wanted to share.
Hugs,
Cori
A police officer pulled along a speeding car on the freeway.
Glancing at the car, he was astounded to see that the blonde behind the
wheel was crocheting!

Hi Gang. I sent a picture to Martin, from our local newspaper, of a spinning
wheel that was a design that I had never seen before. Martin was kind enough
to caution me that the picture might just be copyrighted. I will try to
contact the person who took the picture for permission to post it for...

Discounted S.E.X. by
Laurie
The little craft store in my wee town is going out of business (I
really thought I alone was keeping them going!). They had their
Bernat skeins of yarn on sale for .99 each. I loaded up the shopping
cart until it was overflowing. My family has so many cats and dogs
that sleep on the beds,...

Froghair? I gotcher FROG HAIR right here! by
SlinkyToy
I got the great wheel put together today, dialled in the alignment
(thing was throwing its driveband for a while) and started spinning.
The first 20 yards is laughable. The second 20 yards will make
admirable sport-weight when plied.
The THIRD 20 yards is frog hair. Literally almost too fine to...

Extremely OT for Anna Maria or any other Italian by

I should probably e-mail our AMCM, but some other lurking Italian might
be able to help as well. This is a question about Italian pastries. I

well-known people reminisce about the celebrations of their childhoods,
and include...

Attention Cher: this is a test by
Barbara Vaughan
Hi Cher,
I posted twice yesterday saying that I received two lovely 6x6 squares
from Aud, but neither posting showed up (as far as I can see, anyway).
Then I posted as a reply to another thread, and that one did show up.
Now I'm trying again to post as a new message. One way or another, I
hope...
