Wild knitting project by
karlisa
My friend sent me this knitter's blog and it has photos of a knitting
project she has finished--a giant knitted glove to "slipcover" a hand-
shaped chair. I thought you all would appreciate it. :-)

A friend of mine was recently institutionalized, and the rules are
pretty tight about what kinds of things she's allowed to have.
Specifically, they allow crochet hooks, as long as the hooks are
plastic and less than four inches...

Sunday morning by
WoolyGooly
The new silk drive band lasted for 7 plying sessions (7 colors, 2 oz
each) plus a bit of spinning to finish the 8th color. Today I'm going
to try braided monofilament fishing line. I'm leery of using it on
the wheel as I don't want it to cut the grooves any deeper in the
whorl or bobbins, but...

Alison
Hi - I've looked up a lot of instructions on cabling without a cable
needle, and all the ones I've found deal with a front cable (C4F).
I'm making a sweater that has 2 stitches held to the BACK on a cable
needle, and I haven't figured out how to do this without a needle.

Hi Everyone.
I finally finished the little raglan cardi I was adapting from a
vintage pattern. I changed the yarn size and the needle size. I
omitted a lace inset and used a striped pattern, out of necessity
(stash-busting).
This project was the first time I translated a pattern to...

Silk drive band - update by
WoolyGooly
5 hours.
That's how long I got out of my 8-ply spindle-spun driveband.
I was muttering under my breath about the problem when DH looked over
at my wheel and asked if the drive wheel rim was supposed to be

over here closest to...
