Great Projects Everyone! I`m a big fan of little bags, curvy sweaters and felted pumpkins!

What will you walk away from at the yarn bin? I run from loop boucles as fast as I can. Yarns that feel plasticy and yarns that are too soft don`t feel right to me.
I leave the heavy Lopi in the bin - I live in South Texas after all.

So, is everybody hungover this morning from last night`s party? yarn scraps everywhere, spilled wine, food crumbs, stray knitting needles ... looks like it was quite a party.

What a good idea Billie, I`ve enjoyed reading the posts.

Good morning-What`s on the needles this week?? Should have good knitting time this week. I`m plugging away at dads vest II. I`m really liking it this time.
Also working on a pink fuzzy sweater for Miss M. Using the Wendy sold here a while back. Great little girl yarn. Top down raglan, I thought I was finished with a sleeve, tried it on only to discover it is 4 in shy. I think the girl grew since I cast on last month.

I have a Swallowtail on the needles in the sparkly Kid Silk Haze, but I`m not really working on it.

The perils of a new vacuum cleaner and your knitting Made me wince - glad it came out ok.
I just finished a K1C2 Sublime mohair feather and fan shawl. Yours wouldn`t happen to be blackberry cobbler? Mine is going to my sister in ABQ as soon as its blocked and photographed.

Speaking of Hallowe`en Costumes... Trick or Drinking - good memories there.


Miss M will be a TRex in a store bought costume with a pink lei necklace so everyone knows the TRex is a girl. Her idea not mine.

What`s with the urge to go slumming (yarn-wise)? No help here, I`m a total yarn snob. The closest I`ve come to yarn slumming is the SWS and that isn`t in the slums......

Hey what would happen if--- Very interesting. I really like the thought of it.

newsletter via email Ann I think it is GREAT! not only is it clear and on-time, it saves paper (and postage for you). Email is the way to go.

Kydd Mohair I have one of those early ones, patent pending stamped on the butt. She had black hair back then. No idea if it is worth anything.

My samples came today --- I like your description, Barbara. Once you get used to it, you can`t get enough. A really good pattern to practice with can be found in a recent Knitters. I think it was called Victorian Ruby. Ignore the directions to do the hard lace first. Instead, do a provisional cast on and knit elongated garter stitch for an entire ball. Gives one lots of time to practice before doing the fancy ends.

Stitches-East Fantastic! Gush away, how very cool to model for the man himself. Not bought any yarn, you have a will of steel.

Tell me about ladder yarn I confess, I`m a big fan of ladder yarn. I wear scarves often and a the ones with the most compliments are the ladder ones. Ladder yarn fringe makes you curse a lot but is very much worth the effort
I`ve never tried a top in ladder may have to do so.

Got my new IK - an idea for Highland Silk and Kydd I really like most of the items, especially the Kate G cardigans. I suspect the shawl would be great in person. When I saw the issue on the web a couple weeks ago, I broke down and got a subscription. Wonder when I`ll see the mag.

Kydd Mohair We had a Ken with flocked brown hair - even gave him a bald spot.

Hey Jayne, cute slippers! Great slippers, I`m sure you were shocked. However, it gave me a great idea for my daughter. I`m off to Michaels for some SWS :)
