Harmony Options Interchangeable Needles

Pam, I have found that if you tighten them using something rubbery... like a piece of old rubber glove, some shelf liner, or the like, that they will not unscrew. Be sure to use the little tool in ...

Have a question that doesn't fit into any of the other categories?

I would recommend both of those ideas... in fact a felted bag really isn't too hard until you get to the mitered bottom... just knit in the round. --S

The same for the sleeves... you can try them on and make sure they are long enough but not too long - one of the big sleeve difficulties --S

Ready for Baby Shower - well, almost

I learned this summer that my DS and his wife are expecting a baby... I was so thrilled! These two got married only two years ago, but have been dating since high school. They lead a pretty active life style, and are always busy, so I really didn't expect them to ever have a baby. But they decided this was something they wanted to do... so they are.

I immediately began planning projects for this new arrival... blankets, bibs, booties, etc. I even ordered yarn within a week... of course this cut…

November Fiber Guild Meeting

We had out monthly fiber guild meeting this evening. It will be our last meeting for the year, as several members have so many committments in December that a meeting was nearly impossible. We will meet next on January 9 for our annual dinner meeting (usually held at Christmas)

At today's meeting, we discussed plans for our dinner, reviewed several acknowledgements received by members or friends of members. Our guild leader Marlene participated in the Foot Hills Art Festival and won 2nd and 3rd…

FO: Apron Project, plus progress update

I have been busily knitting all weekend. I got a lot done, but no knitting FOs to show for it. Sigh!

Early yesterday I reminded myself that I had not done the embellishment on my apron for the Guild's Apron Project, so I started thinking about that and searching for ideas. Thank you Ravelry for having something I could use.

My neighbor came over to help me organize my stash... I had containers of yarn and fiber everywhere - stacked especially in my bedroom, and I had no idea where anything was…

About Me:
I am not an old knitter, but it seems like all I do is knit or think about knitting. My signature thing used to be a pair of socks or a wrap, but at this point in time, I have so many different things, that I find it a bit scarey I've knitted everything from scarves to sweaters (both dog and human), a purse or two and most of my items are original -- i.e. I use a basic pattern and changed the design or method to suite my skills.

I DO love knitting, and love offering encouragement to others who think their skills are limited, or are afraid to go to the next thing.

Happy Knitting to everyone!

Post Thanksgiving Knitting

Before Thanksgiving I got all the baby shower items completed and all looks good. I still have a burp cloth on the needles... then due to peer pressure (plus I wanted to anyway)... I cast on the BSJ after dinner yesterday, and am making some progress. See.
