Judy Evans @JudyEv (381741) • Rockingham, Australia 29 Jan 25

I forgot to mention in my post about the baby clothes that these were worn by one, two or all of her three little girls. She did all her own sewing and knitting and made some lovely items. I find it a bit sad that none of the...

My sister-in-law died from cancer not quite four years ago. We had just moved to the Perth area. Since then, we have seen a lot of Vince’s brother and have supported him as best we could. We have done a few projects together and...

Leg-warmers are back!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 18 Jan 23

I remember when leg warmers first became a ‘thing’ back in the 1980s. I guess that’s when I acquired these, although I don’t remember wearing them much for their intended purpose. They mostly stayed in a drawer until several years...

Basketweave Knit Throw

Quilter @fatragu (677) • United States 26 Sep 22

Today is finally the day I love. My blanket finally has enough length that you can tell it's going to be a blanket. I hate the beginning of a project where you can't tell that it's an actual project and not just a 1/4" of...

We lost my sister-in-law about 15 months ago. She was a great knitter but always had bad eyesight. Eventually, she had to give up her knitting and sewing. Her husband has given me a lot of her yarn and I’ve been gradually using it...
