I've been doing an afghan square pattern from a book, and have done each different square pattern once. The pain one color squares and my newly learned intarsia squares are exactly the same size. The last square pattern is a simple c7b repeated four times. Am I pulling the cable stitches...

Aww, those are two very lovely purple squares! I'm a little late in getting my two squares to you, I should have them done by Halloween... Thank you so much! Laurel

I took a mini break from knitting to sew a costume for my daughter. At first she refused to put it on. I got real worried all the effort was for nothing. But last night she decided it wasn't so bad being a piglet! That pooh bear is her best friend by the...

Well, I know that it's almost the wrong time of year for this, but here's an idea for a great-looking scarf - maybe it will give some of you some ideas for winter birthday or Christmas gifts. I've made a couple of dozen of these to sell and they never fail to attract "wow!" type comments. You...

I've just been knitting a two colour rib: K2 main colour, P1 contrast, and while it looks lovely, it is curling outwards just like stockinette. Is this usual? I suppose the opposing forces of the knits and purls don't work so well when they aren't in the same strand of yarn. Does anyone know of...

Hi Nora, I received a lovely selection of threads from Jan this morning, they made it across the water very quickly! Thanks Jan. Sue W in East Anglia, UK

I finally finished my NYCO. The second sleeve seemed to take forever! It is Guernsey gals from The Best of Knitters Arans and Celtics. I had to adapt it a bit to suit the gauge of DK instead of worsted or aran. This has inspired me to set up a photo album and so if you would like to have a look...
