I then added the stitching and already had the tassles left over from another project. I think the pattern is the sort with plenty of scope for letting your imagination run riot. you must have been a member for quite a long time to have made all those lovely items in your photos section.

I would rather spend money on new needles considering I only have one pair. The learn to knit kit comes with a pair, so I'll start accumulating new ones with each project. I have discovered the podcasts. I've downloaded a couple. I love to listen to them. I also watched a youtube video when new yarn arrived. I laughed so hard because it reminded me of my kids at Christmas....snicker. Have a good one!

At 2:21am on October 5, 2009, Barbara Longley said…: Hi and thanks for the tip about dyeing but I don't think we have the same makers of Icing colourings in England. Mine were Dr. Oetker and Supercook. Maybe I was a bit stingy with the colouring and should have emtied the whole bottle in, which would have made for a darker colour. It is all hit and miss really. We did notice that the Sainsburys supermarket where we shop had changed suppliers this week and do the same colours as before, but had added green. I'm running out of white fleece at the moment and I wanted to try Turmeric - used in curry - as it is supposed to give a really brilliant yellow. That would also be fairly safe with your young son around. Maybe that and some blobs of red would give you an interesting orangey mix. I really must get the pictures of the results of my dyeing Blogged this week. barbara

At 3:41am on September 8, 2009, Knit4Many said…: Peggy: I couldn't get to your picture from your comment, but I did see all your pictures. It looks like fun. Hopefully I can get through the CLC and maybe then I can try more sweaters.
MrsK: I'm sorry if that came out wrong I'm challenged by sweaters( mostly adult size no problem with kids size though). I love my circs. I also love the look of straights ( like the Harmony's) and would love to knit an Estonia shawl on them, but circs are easier to duck out of the way of zooming children going by. haha....
Happy Knitting to you both.-Knit

At 12:39pm on September 7, 2009, Mrs. K said…: You left a message on Peggy's blog that you're challenged with big straight needles because of your kids. I understand that so well. but have you tried to use circulars as yet? I use them all the time on my commutes and am now finding I have to get used to straights again. LOL. Might be worth a try. Or have you already tried and just not found them good for your purposes? Happy knitting! Maria

At 6:39am on September 7, 2009, Peggy Stuart said…: Knit: I did my sweater like hers on circs. I don't have many straight needles and barely use the ones I do have anymore. I did do it flat and sewed it together, though. You can see my finished sweater here. It took me two weeks, but I didn't work on anything else. It's big yarn, big needles and lot of entertaining cables and stuff to keep you going! Happy knitting! --P

I need an easy bear pattern for this project. Please tell where to go to get one. I think this is a really cute bear. Thank you.

At 6:15am on August 20, 2009, Peggy Stuart said…: Knit: Thanks for commenting on my blog! I don't remember seeing that episode on Knitty Gritty. I'll try to find it. (I have most of them on DVD, but the website may have it.) Yes, the bag is stranded. It really isn't that hard if you can knit with two hands. Most of the bag is done from the right side, which makes it easier to see what you're doing. The Coopworth fiber is pretty, isn't it? It's fun to spin. Yes, I'm working hard, because I know the next surgery is coming. BTW, my DD says La Crosse is in sort of an eddy because of how the three rivers come together. They have never had a tornado, but they keep an eye on the weather reports anyway. Thanks. --P

At 6:20am on August 6, 2009, Peggy Stuart said…: Knit: I'm home and back among the posting knitters. Thanks for your comment on my socks, and thanks for the book recommendation. I just received my copy of The Knitting Answer Book, and it looks great! --Peggy
