I was watching T.V. and working on one of the comb/barrette things. When I'm done weaving one of these, I stitch up and down the spaces in the yarn that are on the teeth of the comb, then pull it off and stitch the sides shut....

Second time...

Stacey @xstitcher (38999) • Petaluma, California 26 Apr

I made another..."thingy" on a comb. As it turns out, that "loose thread" happened again. It must be something that happens with the stitching. I stitched up the side of it to cover the loose thread and down the other side, too...

It wasn't quite right...

Stacey @xstitcher (38999) • Petaluma, California 25 Apr

I did a comb weaving/knitting/whatever-you-want-to-call it thing--but I didn't quite get it right--I didn't do some of the stitching to hold it together. I'll just use this for a bookmark or something. Not sure why I did it...

More of the same please!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 17 Jan 23

One thing my mother left me was a big bag of soft mohair-type knitting wool in lovely shades of red. She obviously saw the bag-full on sale somewhere – I guess it was probably an end of range or the like, but there were no labels...

My Day: Monday, September 5, 2022

PinkCashmereYarn @bluerubymoon53 (3286) • United States 6 Sep 22

I guess it was a pretty good day yesterday. I went to Hobby Lobby to get some yarn for a blanket that I will be making for my oldest grandson. I also stopped at Best Buy so that I could get a mouse pad and a stylus to use on my...

Crochet Throw

Quilter @fatragu (677) • United States 20 Aug 22

Well, I found my pattern yesterday and measured out the throw blanket today. I'm currently 19 inches short of where it needs to be so I can finish out the pattern. Each row is 1/2" so that means I need to crochet 38 more rows to...

Lost pattern

Quilter @fatragu (677) • United States 19 Aug 22

I just sat down to crochet on my mom's blanket for a bit and realized that I have lost the pattern. It's a 2 row repeat so the pattern is important. Right now I wish it was something that I didn't need a pattern for. Oh, well....

Part of a sweater becomes a beanie

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381741) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Jul 22

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...

Finally finished!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 8 Nov 21

A long time ago, at the start of the year, I started knitting a pair of fingerless gloves, using some interesting yarn that was a blend of colours. https://www.mylot.com/post/3422077/my-new-project The snag was I hadn’t...

Should I Get More?

PinkCashmereYarn @bluerubymoon53 (3286) • United States 1 Oct 21

For the past little over a month, I have been trying to get some yarn that I have in the closet used up. I've been crocheting hats for the donation box for this winter. I've been making a little dent in the progress of using up...

Stealth yarn-bombing

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 30 Jul 21

In recent years a bit of a ‘thing’ has developed for so-called ‘yarn-bombing’ - decorating street furniture such as lamp posts with knitted or crocheted covers. I’ve seen it done in a couple of places, especially in preparation...

We shall see

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 29 May 21

Well, I signed up with a new cashback site and made another hobby lobby purchase because someone (me) made the mistake of checking their website to see if the yarn sale was still ongoing. Hobby Lobby is a hop, skip and a...

Squishy Mail is my favorite type of mail to receive. Pictured is eight skeins of yarn that I recently bought. Aren't they all pretty and spring-like? Well, one is kind of summer-like, but yeah... [b]What do you...

You're killing me, Smalls!

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 5 Mar 21

Is a line from some 90's movie that I don't know the context of. However, it's used a lot in American English lingo and no, don't ask me which generations use it. I hardly use it, except for now. Lionbrand is a yarn based...

A new (old) kind of yarn

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 21 Feb 21

Good.. Whatever time of day it is folks! So, I've heard of this type of yarn before but I've never bought it. I'm going to actually share a youtube video instead of a link directly to the yarn because I think most people...

Ribbit

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 23 Dec 20

Well... It's my own fault. I thought I might have missed a stitch about oh... eight or so rows back, but I kept going because it didn't quite look like I had. Oh well, It shouldn't take me too long to frog to that part and fix...
