I was just got to watch this new show called Knitty Gritty and there was a woman on it showing people how to make a flap hat. She got to the point where she told about about the purl stitch and I saw what that was b/c I watch really hard at the television screen. Purl means two stiches together. It...

I've been invaded by a pirate, but he's very cute so I think I'll keep him. This is the result of a pirate hat request: http://ca.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/quilt_craft_mom/album?.dir=a07ere2&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//ca.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph//my_photos Inspiration from...

My niece has expressed an interest in learning to knit so for Christmas I thought I would gift her with a book and some good yarn and needles for a specific project (a scarf?) and, of course, a coupon for unlimited knitting lessons. I was looking at books on the internet and plan to go peruse...

Well, okay an "almost new" spinning wheel. I managed to buy an ex demo Ashford double-drive traditional wheel for a song on Trademe (our local equivalent of eBay). It arrived today and was quickly assembled. My old wheel was over 30 years in age and rather clunky. The new one runs beautifully...

I ordered 6 skeins in 3 different colors and should get them by Sat. I was wondering if any here have used this for socks and what you thought. I like Lambs Pride for hats. I started a pair of socks using Opal and didn't like how it felt....not much give or spring so I hope the wildfoote will...

Ok, call me proud. Call me nutz. Call me redundant. I finally got the website squared away to show off my little 4-inch sweater! VP was kind enough to help me with the technical parts (I'd rather be knitting) and get 'er up there on the web. It worked out to gauge but I am still concerned it will...

Hi, I didn't get the second pineapple afghan done, but only have the last four points to do tonight so I'll have to report that for April. FO's 1 pineapple afghan 2 in ocean color (V-stitch & one piece with soft beige) 1 candy print in one piece with soft beige 4 squares for my March partner

Hi Everyone, It's time to sign up for the April threads exchange. Hugs, Nora

Hi Everyone, I've asked permission from Dawn to do a comfortafghan for Marrissa and she said it would be a lovely thing for us to do so here goes. I need two 6x6 squares by the 31st of Jan. That gives us time to get past the holidays and she will be in need of hugs for a long time. Hugs, Nora

I may have written once before about my soon-to-be-dil asking me why I bothered to knit an afghan when I could go out and buy a blanket. Well, not too long after that discussion, she sent me a picture of a hat she wanted. She asked if I would knit that for her in exchange for a picture I wanted...

I just can't seem to find the thread where this was mentioned :-( Someone had said they have a list of links for folks wanting to contribute by way of their knitting or sewing abilities... Can you please respond to me here? Or by my home email - w zero zero five one at telus dot net :-) Thank...

I really believe that people think, "They'd just be sitting around knitting anyway, so why should they charge me for something they already be doing in their spare time?" I hate this attitude. The best way to get me to never make something is to ask me to do it....then tell me exactly how you want...

While we are discussing tv, can anyone tell me anything about this? I kind bumped into it when resetting the dials after I finished watching Washington Week and McLaughlin Group this evening (we tape nearly everything these days, to watch at our leisure) and it looked interesting. Olwyn Mary in...

http://www.fysh.org/~slinky/pix/circumcardi No laughing! :D +++++++++++++ Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account...

i'm looking for a knitting pattern for a nice shawl or lapghan to make for my grandma's 101st birthday in May. i'm not a fast knitter so something fast & easy would be best, i think, but something with more pizazz than plain garter stitch. it *has* to be knit, as my crochet talents extend only to...

I have to go to the hospital very early in the morning for a colonoscopy, then come home to "rest" for the day. Not looking forward to it, but at the same time I'm hoping this helps the doctor to figure out what is going on with my stomach problems I've had over the last 6 years that *nothing*...

Hey, everyone! Darlene and I got together tonight, finally! As you know, she comes to Montreal once in a while, and we finally connected. I have to tell you - she is great! And she deserves the wonderful hotel she is staying in. When I told a friend that I was visiting someone at that hotel (Hotel...
