Oh, great, thanks a lot! Now I've got an earworm! (For those who don't know, an "earworm" is when you have a song that you just can't get out of your head..........) Joan (I'll go no more a-roving with you....) I will not have a problem with this earworm, mine right now is a...

Hi, I am new to this group and new to knitting. Well, I have knitted in the past, but nothing substantial. For years I have wanted to get a knitting machine and finally I bought the Ultimate Sweater Machine. I thought it would be good to learn on. I am having fits with it and was hoping...

Compliments of my sister/friend ---------------------------- Dear Mirjam, Here are the names and addresses of the three Yarn shops I've dealt with in Jerusalem, who's ranges of yarns I like. All three are now carrying some thick (bulky) yarns. 1) Mercaz ha Tzemer--Mercaz ha Tachana Yaffo 234 open...

http://dorsetbuttons.com/ Thought I'd better start a new thread, here you go Gem this is what I meant by making the buttons...you just put a loop on the back to stitch them to clothes, but they make good earrings etc too. I've searched several pages now and can't find any online instructions on...

Hi everyone, I've been knitting Fingerless mitts that have a thumb. I have to cast on three stitches after setting aside stitches for the thumb, and the pattern says to use a backwards loop cast on. I tried it, but got a not very nice hole. I switched to a cable cast on, and it looks better,...

I just saw this in the new Patternworks that came to my house yesterday and wondered if anyone has tried it. I think it might make my hands less sore . I don't have any problem with thick yarns but this linen flax is so thin some how and seems to be hard to work on my hand in a way. Other lace...

I have to make a doily for a customer and the pattern calls for Phildar Perle 5. What size is that? Normally, I would just crochet with size 10 thread, but since it's for someone else - I need to make sure the size thread is what the pattern calls for so the doily will be the right size. I've...

I have been baking caps and scarves for the Mission in Rockford, Illinois. I should take Noreen's advice and keep a journal of what I make. I made many. I made 6 prayer shawls for the anniversary of the shooting at Northern Illinois University last year at Valentine's day. I enjoyed making...

What size is that needle? Hard to tell. I really do not care. I knit swatches with different sized needles and then use the needles that produced the fabric that I liked. If you want to do better, get a micrometer and measure the actual diameter of your needles. The traditional needle gauges...

Hi folks! I am looking for a pair of those simple, old-fashioned phentex or wool or synthetic yarn slippers that everyone my age (52) had in abundance when they were kids. It is for my wife. It's ridiculous, but I have searched the Net high and low and can only find a few patterns. But I'm looking...

Hi! Ages ago I offered to email these patterns to anyone who wanted them, unfortunately there was a problem with one of the pages and then my scanner broke down. The good news is that my scanner is finally fixed, I've re-scanned the seven pages of patterns and saved them as jpegs. So, if...

This is realy the end of Saturday for me, but I am a little late in getting to bed, thus it is Sunday already. We were watching funny animal commercials and at the same time, I was knitting my 6x6 for September. Being adventurous, I am trying my hand......again.....at a lace pattern. I do not know...

Today I took out a shawl which a daughter knitted for me some years ago from her own spun Hebridean black wool from the two Heb ewe lambs I gave her. She'd chosen the stitch 'candlelight' because I made beeswax candles. It had huge holes in it and it's unsalvageable. Does anyone know of any...
