I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for how to felt large items. Specifically, what do you put them in when you put them in the washing machine? For smaller items I have used a mesh lingerie bag and I have heard of using zippered pillowcases but the item I want to felt (a vest) is too large...

I sent out my December 6x6 squares to Kira today. (It was a big mail day at the PO. LOL) She should receive the package in less than a week. Janise

Well Jenny, it seems you have some VERY good advise business wise in the responses here. It seems to me though, that your uncertainty does not lie in the business realm of this but in the personal...

I'm back from a week in Israel - I see you have all been busy posting! I got to talk to Mirjam on the phone from Jerusalem (I didn't make it up to Haifa) Mirjam had kindly arranged for me to meet her "sister of the heart", Haya, in Jerusalem. She was exceedingly gracious to me and we had a great...

My MIL gave my DH a new wool sweater from Orvis last week. It is very warm and he has been wearing it but is complaining that there is an odor to it. It is made of 85% wool and 15% nylon and a little scratchy to the feel. I aired it outside for two days but the odor is still there. Is this a...

Here is a website with patterns for stuffed animals. http://www.bsu.edu/web/jmsutton2/cr/index.html Kristine in Germany

If you can afford the rent and enjoy then stay as long as you want. You have to do what makes you happy. Kristine in Germany **who is single (so take my advice for what it is worth).

(Bet that got your attention) You've all heard of DWI - driving while intoxicated. I suppose that we could not drive while knitting? (giggle) What activities do any of you do while you knit or crochet? Does anyone knit when they're reading this ng? Watch TV
