knitting assistance--new here by
Karlisa
Hi,
My name is Lisa and I've been lurking and reading here for quite some time.
I'm hoping that you all will be able to help me or perhaps direct me to
where I might find help in a book, etc. for a knitting problem. I made a
hat on double pointed needles and it wasn't until after I had nearly...

Twisted Cord untwists by
Cece
Helen ST, I think I've figured out how to do that twisted cord!
Take one length of yellow and one length of black, lay them together,
and tie them together at both ends. Now you have a circle. Put a big
toe through the circle and pull the yarn up so you have a very narrow
ellipse; pull the yarn...

Pics of FOs by

I just posted photos of a couple of finished objects.
This is an aran sweater I finished recently, it's from the only book (The
best of Knitters Arans and Celtics) which I've ever made more than one thing
from!

Double-ended crochet hooks by
Harlan Messinger
It occurs to me that if I had a crochet hook with a hook on both ends,
then it would be so much easier to fix a ladder that has both knit and
purl stitches. Each time a purl stitch sat on top of a knit stitch or
vice versa, all I'd have to do is slide the shaft through the stitch and
work with...

Cable Charts by
hesira
Hi Everyone.
I was hoping that someone more experienced with reading cable charts
would help me figure something out. I'm making the Cabled Cardigan
from VK winter 2006. I'm working on the front left panel. The cable
pattern is staggered, and there are 4 stitch cables and 6 stitch
cables. The...

doll clothes patterns by
myswendy
Hi guys!
I hope this isn't posting twice. Oh well, sigh. :)
I have decided to try to knit a winter wardrobe (I know, spring is
flying in fast and I better get a move-on) for my SIL's doll
collection, primarily Cissy, Alex, and Coquette. Does anyone know if
there are any free patterns out there...

Tams - my new addiction by
BB
I just finished my second go at making these. I've been using the book
Knitted Tams by Mary Rowe for guidance and sometimes charts. These
pics are pre-blocking, so they don't have the shape and are not yet
evened out.

Long time no see! by
Erin
Hej!
I still read rcty but haven't posted in AGES, so I thought I'd check
in with y'all (yes, you can move me from South Carolina to Sweden, but
you cannot REMOVE South Carolina from me!).
I have crocheted several more shoulderbags using Eskimo yarn and then
felting them in the washer and dryer....

Victory! by
No Name
In the knitting it got dirty, so I washed the "great gansey". While being
blocked it seemed to have all the virtues of wet sheet rock.
Ah, but when I finally put it on, I understood, "This is how the fishermen
stayed warm while fishing" (before synthetics.) This is how one can
comfortably nap on...

sweaters by
Theresa Turnbull
Does anyone know of a site that may have videos or lessons on hand knitting
sweaters?? I wish to make one and the only time I tried,there were errors in
the pattern where the sleeves were concerned and I became very disillusioned
in making one. I knit a lot of lace and intricate things,but...

Enough claptrap. by
Olwyn Mary
I grew up there, I saw what was actually happening.
Growing up in England, where sweaters were called "jumpers" or
"pullovers" if they did not have a front opening, there were several
specific styles. Two of the most popular came from the Channel Islands,
the island of Jersey (very plain)...

I just realized that in my email to you I hadn't put my own email address...
and I'm not actually sure that the address this comes from (which was set up
by our internet provider in my son's name... so that I could access the
newsgroups through Outlook) actually works. In fact I *may* have put...

My GAWD, I only have two projects on needles right now, I feel
absolutely decadent!
One's a four inch wide, 8 foot long ugly ugly ugly scarf for someone
who requested it. I hate the yarn, and the colours are gross, but what

Sunday morning by

It looks like another clear cool day he forecast high for the
afternoon is mid-70s, there's not a cloud in the sky and breezes are
coming from the north. The house is opened up and I'm attempting to
evict dust bunnies and other lurkers in corners.
I made waffles this morning for the upcoming...
