faithfulheart Wouldn't it be more productive to suggest several topics that you'd like to discuss rather than complain about the dearth of stimulating content here? This site can be as good as we decide that we want it to be. Isn't it better, as someone once said, to...

Are you going to help your kids with tuition costs?

mytwo_daughters @mytwo_daughters (2663) • United States 21 Nov 06

We all know tuition for college is outrageous, are you going to help your kids with college?

13 responses

What is your favorite type of knitting needles?

Esmy27 @Esmy27 (47) • United States 29 Nov 06

I prefer wood knitting needles, because they are easier to learn with and are warm. However, I like the speed of aluminum (not to mention the click, clack). Wha is your favorite type of knitting needle and why?

needles

faithfulheart I have several favorites. I guess, like you, it depends on the project that I'm working on. For socks, I prefer bamboo dpn's. For other projects I like the slick speed of metal needles. I have a set of plastic interchageable needles, which are convenient, but...

faithfulheart You can really learn either one. I would recommend finding a yarn shop in your area that offers lessons. It's always best to learn from someone who knows how to do it. I have had students who have learned to knit or crochet from following the directions in a...

Criticism-How do you choose to handle it?

gomathykannan @gomathykannan (52) • India 15 Dec 06

Nobody is exempted from censure. No one is immune. Sad to say the vaccine that will make us criticism-free is not yet invented. People from all walks of life – from the king who lived in the palace to the pauper who lived on the...
