I sure love the picture of the skeleton key. Where did you get the pattern? I have a skeleton key from my house and it'd be great to make something like that to display the key. Carol In WI

Hi Everyone, We have a pioneer farm that shows what life was like in the 1800s for the settlers who came here. I'd like to make maybe some shawls to donate so the "interpreters" can wear them. But I don't know where I can look to find historically accurate patterns for that time period. I just...

Hi everyone, I found the hat pattern for Mom. Here is the link: http://www.knittingfairy.com/freeTeaCozyHat.htm The hat she had on today made out of that pattern was done in a soft mohair type yarn and it looked great and has a nice fit. She doesn't put the pom pom on.

Hi I'm manging with the cast on but have to admit that I am getting very frustrated and bored. I know things are going to get better but it's hard right now. The pain is down a little from yesterday but stll bad.

Wow....that was such a neat way to join the yarn. (and I used water instead of spit :) ). I didn't trust it the first time so I wanted to do it again. I found the join was actually stronger than the yarn. I'm learning a lot with this shawl. I never thought I would like working with lace weight...

To all of you expert and veteran sock knitters out there, please HELP! I'm familiar with the technique of knitting with dpns, but for some reason am having a TERRIBLE time getting started with sock weight yarn on those tiny needles. Is there any tip or technique that you've found makes it easier...

I'd like to share this story with you: My mom was quite the knitter - she was a speed knitter, didn't look at her work and her fingers flew. According to her sisters, during WWII people would knit garments for the troops. The American Red Cross distributed yarn to knitters. When you went for your...

Hi everyone, My Mom is trying to find a pattern for a hat she made a few years ago. It's knit on the vertical, has rows of knit (looks like maybe 6), then rows of purl. It looks like a typical toque style hat with a cuff. She thinks it's a Beehive pattern. Any ideas? thanks, Linda

Hello again everyone - I am working my hat (the one with the fun fur) on circular needles. I have worked with DPs before, but never gone from one to the other. What are your recommendations? Should I slide all of the stitches (32 of them) onto the DPs and then continue knitting? Should I knit...
