Hi
"Not Likely" notinthislifetime@yougottabejoking wrote in message ... "Katherine" wrote in message oups.com... On May 28, 1:05 am, "MSey" wrote: "Katherine" wrote in message Welcome back, Muriel. Do you still have those patterns? Higs, Katherine Hi Katherine, I do! I might have to do some digging to find them but I'm a born packrat. I rarely get rid of anything. Oh, and I have a scanner now, which makes sharing easier. ;-) Great! Then I'd love to see them sometime. Higs, Katherine Me too! As soon as I saw that someone had patterns of the sweaters Princess Diana used to wear, I perked up. Those were gorgeous sweaters! ) Do be careful how you share them though, Murielle... attachments and pictures are frowned upon on the newsgroup as they overload some people's computers. If you could put them on a separate site... like a blog page or something... and then share the URL with us, that would be great. ) *hugs* Gemini Okay, that's great because I just responded to Katherine with that very question. I do have a blog so I can figure that out and share them that way. I have: the sheep pattern, the red one with all the white sheep and one black; the koala pattern; blue with a big koala bear on a tree trunk; and one that is more traditional. I'll dig them out again and post them to my blog ... probably sometime next week as this week is going to be busy. Hugs, Murielle |

"Not Likely" notinthislifetime@yougottabejoking wrote in message ... "MSey" wrote in message news:nJo6i.61213$Xh3.59512@edtnps90... Hi, I used to "hang out" here a lot many years ago. Life took over for a while, but here I am again. From time to time I've lurked and left the odd post, but I thought I'd better re-introduce myself as it's been soooo long. My name is Murielle. I love knitting, though I've not done it for quite some time, crocheting, cross-stitch, embroidery and recently did my first "needlepoint" project from a Celtic book I picked up years ago. I also enjoy beading, something I learned as a child. I love this newsgroup and have always found people enthusiastic about hobbies I enjoy and gracious in their willingness to lend a helping hand when needed. (I'm not sure if anyone will remember me, probably the most extroverted thing I ever did while posting frequently was to share the patterns of Princess Diana's sweaters that were published in a magazine shortly after her marriage to Prince Charles. That was so much fun!) Anyway, as life has slowed down some and will be slowing down even more, hopefully, in the near future I have found my way back here more and more often, and expect to spend more time here I thought it was time to just say, "Hi". Murielle Welcome home! ;o) *hugs* Gemini Thank you! Hugs, Murielle |

I saw your name and sqealed. Did you hear me? I bet you could. ;-)) Sorry for shouting, but I know this gal from elsewhere, and I'm happy to see her here :-) I shouted right back. (I'm grinning from ear to ear here!) It's great to know we have even more in common. This is so cool! From time to time I've lurked and left the odd post, but I thought I'd better re-introduce myself as it's been soooo long. My name is Murielle.

That was so much fun!) I made my sister the black sheep sweater. That's the project that completely turned me off to intarsia. It turned out nice enough, but took forever to make. I have never made any of the Diana sweaters, but I did make a poinsettia sweater for my mother a few Christmases before she died and while weaving in all those little wool-ends made me crazy I'd be willing to try again with something else. See, I leared something already. I didn't know it was called "intarsia". I've seen the term as I lurked and hadn't a clue that's what it meant. Now I know. Thank you! Anyway, as life has slowed down some and will be slowing down even more, hopefully, in the near future I have found my way back here more and more often, and expect to spend more time here I thought it was time to just say, "Hi". Yay!! This is still one of the best groups on Usenet (gotta put it that way, or some of my buddies from another place will hunt me down g) with a nice comfy feeling. I think so too! Really glad to see you here :-) Me too! The Other Kim kimagreenfieldatyahoodotcom Hugs, Murielle |

Hi
Murielle wrote: I was born in Scotland many, many years ago. In fact that's where I learned to knit, in school. The boys got to build this wonderful volcano and the girls *had* to knit. I resented not being able to build the volcano so much. Who knew it would be something I'd love for so long inspite of my initial response. Similar story here, but in California. Back in 3rd grade, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and girls weren't allowed to do woodworking projects, the boys were doing a woodworking project that went along with what we were studying in social studies, and they were taken out of class for this. The teachers couldn't teach us anything new during that time, so my teacher decided to teach all of us girls how to knit. She just taught the basic cast on, knit stitch, and bind off, but that was enough for me to make some skirts for Barbie dolls (using plastic pick-up sticks as needles; must be why I love using tiny needles today). I'm still going strong 38 years later. I still think I would have done better at the woodworking project back then, though g The Other Kim kimagreenfieldatyahoodotcom |

I'm not a terribly good knitter. I'm more of a laborious knitter. Someone once told me that watching me knit made her tired because I do the "hand over" method rather than flicking the stitches from one needle to the other. So not fancy, not fast, but somewhat productive. I like knitting baby blankets best. I'm intimidated by anything shaped. ;-)) I still think I would have done better at the woodworking project back then, though g I bet you would have. I don't know if I'd have been good at building the volcano but it just seemed infinitely more interesting. ;-) It's so nice to find you here! Murielle The Other Kim kimagreenfieldatyahoodotcom |

Higs, Katherine When I dig them out I could email them directly to you, or send them as an attachment, whichever suits the group best. I see that Gemini has already suggested posting them on your blog. That would work, or you could also mail them to me at: katherine dot burgess at mail dot mcgill dot ca Thanks in advance.
