(KDLark) had some very interesting things to say about
OT rcty:

Last night I got curious and went over to see what was going on on
RCTY --
partly because I'm unbecomingly nosy, and partly because I am doing more
knitting right now and thought that I'd check on that aspect before I
ask yarn
questions. I was sure that Seanette was exagerating...wow, do I owe her
an
apology! If I ever post over there, I think I'll need a new persona so I
won't
get blacklisted as a rude "needle stabber!" Sheesh!

I'd advise just staying here in RCTN. Plenty of yarn experts [Karen
comes immediately to mind] and you don't have to join the Church of
Mirjam. :-)

She`s kept very quiet lately, hasn`t she? Do you reckon we`ve finally
worked the miracle and she`s disappeared in a puff of smoke?

Not to look for trouble but....

Shouldn't that be the "Temple of Mirjam"?

Probably - right on top of her mountain, of course, so we all have to crawl
up on hands and knees to worship!

It does make me wonder why mirjam has picked rctn for her fights1
Because it gives her a way to feel personally persecuted? And then she
can go
cry on the shoulders of her friends at rcty with how mean we are to her,
therefore gaining attention from both groups?

I think you're right, having long ago noticed that if there isn't a
current battle she's in the middle of, fanning flames and so on,
she'll start one to get attention.

For someone who has to be pushing 70, seems a tad childish to me.
[She'd have to be that old to remember the Holocaust as she claims
to.]

I believe she`s in her late fifties or early sixties. Now I`m "pushing 70"
(well, 69 in July) and I remember the holocaust, and any children in the
cinema being made to wait in the lobby when the newsreels were on (most of
us peeped through the curtains anyway!).

(Lynne M.) had some very interesting things to say
about OT rcty:

some form of stitching. Anyway, I used to be a big crocheter myself,
but don't yet know how to knit. I like regular embroidery and
cross-stitch and even felt applique.

I like felt applique myself [my next Nativity scene is a Bucilla
stocking kit :-)].

I always feel a bit like felt applique would be sort of lower-class
compared to all the exquisite stuff that people are working on, but darn
it, I like it. In fact, I am working on a design for a felt applique
Advent calendar. Problem is, I can't draw worth a lick but can see what
this should look like. And I am fussy about my Advent calendars because
I lived in Germany for awhile as a kid and got used to these
old-fashioned pictures. The sequining is a pain on the felt kits but
sure looks pretty when you are done. Felt is fun!

Hi, Lynne! (my middle name, btw!)

I've done some crochet - my mother taught me how years ago - but for
whatever reason, I could never keep my gague even and I can with knitting. I
should probably pick it up and try it again one of these days. I'm pretty
ordinary too - I am continually amazed at the folks who can put together
such gorgeous patterns or just free-form something the way some people do.
I'd like to be one of those people one of these days . . .

My mom taught me all kinds of basic stitching, but a friend taught me
how to crochet when we were switchboard operators many years ago (showing
my age, there). Even though she was right-handed and I am left-handed,
I managed to get the basics with her patient help. Taught my daughter
-- a rightie -- how to crochet, so the loop start continues...

..... I feel a lot more comfortable
already. :-)

OK -- now that you feel more comfy you can tell us more about yourself. We
want to know the IMPORTANT stuff like what type of chocolate you prefer and
even MORE important -- what type of "babies" (or pets to the rest of the world)
do you have???
Also we want to know -- and this is tres' importante, dontchaknow -- the
truth about which you prefer -- Mayo or Miracle Whip. We DO have some pretty
good set to's when we go through the Mayo vs. MW wars! And just wait until we
start in on the floss licking, floss grain, and floss knotting topics!!!!!!!!!
The fur really flies during those "discussions". MAYO RULES -- MW is the
Devil's spawn!!!!! :-))) OH -- did I remember to say Welcome? Glad to have
you here :-)). CiaoMeow ^;;^

Hey, Tia Mary may talk loudly sometimes but look at the efficiency --
all the
fun fights at once, LOL! We'd be at this forever, what with the
licking and mayo globs and knots. Ok, I'll have been hiding this but
will come clean
today: I'm not a chocoholic. Like it, but a little is fine. I use
mayo,
so *please* let me stay.

Lynne -- you all can have my share!

Hey -- you "like" chocolate and that's satisfactory. Using mayo grants you
permanent acceptance IMNSHO :-)! Just think of those poor people who don't
like chocolate AND prefer MW =8-O !! CiaoMeow ^;;^

Alright, I used to watch Dr. Who but didn't love it as much as others. I
used to love The Goodies and Rising Damp - the two shows on PBS after Dr.
Who.

I loved the Goodies!! Wish they'd put those out on DVD, because I'd but those
in a heartbeat.

Carrie,

I learned to knit first, then crochet, and I found that I kept holding the
tension for crochet the same as I did for knitting. This really messed up my
crochet projects, everything looked wavy and waffly. Finally figured out that
you hold the yarn in a completely different way, different amount of tension.
Now both knitting and crochet come out flat! lol
