Quiet here today by Shillelagh
Is everybody busy outside? It's raining here (but badly needed), so I can't really complain. I've started some tomato plants which I will set outside in approximately 3 weeks, and have planted two rows of peas. I have golf on TV (love it), and will likely spend the evening knitting on socks and...

How to knit seeds in watermelon hat by MP
HI, All, I've just knitted the cute watermelon hat that's been around for a while.

I'm knitting toe-up socks and looking for stretchy bind-offs for the cuff. I've tried the sewn bind-off aka Elizabeth Zimmerman's bind-off. It is stretchy but it seems to make the tops flare out. I've tried the suspended bind-off but it doesn't seem to be all that stretchy. Any other...

Dyeing Question by hesira
I've been trying to reduce my stash and have been working on a vintage baby jacket from an early 1940's publication. The pattern called for 3 oz of yarn. I had 4 oz of 100% merino sock yarn that had the same gauge, so thought I had ample yarn to make the jacket. Nope. Made the fronts and back...

Length of circular needles? by myswendy
Ok, this may sound like a dumb question, but for some reason, I'm having trouble figuring this out: I can't figure out, if a pair of circular needles are 7 x 24 (for example), if that means it's 24 inches of nylon string between the needles or if the needles are included in the length. All my...

Sunday 5/13 by WoolyGooly
Knitting Beaded silk shawl of my own design. The knitting goes very slowly as I have to push along several hundreds of beads as I go. I've had to cut out two knots so far (from my $50+ hank of yarn, grrr) and make Russian joins. It's fiddly but not challenging as such things go. Seed stitch...
