I explored the city yesterday to see what shops are here in my new area and went through countless charity shops :o) And the first one had my treasure :o) An originally sealed DVD about crochetting :o) for 1 pound :o) I never ever imagined to find dvd instructions about it in a charity shop here as it is already rare to find a book about it...but there I did :o) And as i am simply at 0% with my crochetting skills at present it made my day big time :o)

Way to go. Lizard has a DVD with her book about how to crochet. Hopefully she will it to practice the basic stitches.

I need to work on my crocheting talents. Does anyone have any tips about blocking needlepoint? I will be making my first attempt soon.

That was cute! Thanks for posting it.

fluffypet61 -> RE: Needles and Hooks (10/9/2010 8:40:07 AM)
Do any of you who knit or crochet have experience with washable wool yarns? Are they all wool/acrylic blends? or 100% wool? For the knitting i want to do for the Seaman's Institute, they require washable yarn. i heard that wool is warmer than plain acrylic. Does anyone have some in their stash you want to get rid of for postage?

kiwisub12 -> RE: Needles and Hooks (10/9/2010 8:44:14 AM)
I've used 100% washable wool and love it. Doesn't feel any different to regular wool to knit, and the gauge is the same. The yarn i've used before was Australian, that i bought in New Zealand. ........................ and no, i don't have any extra.[:D] edited to add - most wool yarn is washable by hand, but the yarn i was using was machine washable.

fluffypet61 -> RE: Needles and Hooks (10/9/2010 8:47:03 AM)
Do you have a brand name for the Australian 100% Washable Wool?

ShaharThorne -> RE: Needles and Hooks (10/9/2010 11:54:57 AM)
Guess what...one of Lizard's friends does crochet and she is willing to teach her. The left of the bedroom has been taken over by yarn and projects. I should work on crafts today...

tropicalhoney -> RE: Needles and Hooks (10/9/2010 5:39:54 PM)
fluffy, I've never tried it, but I have heard that if you take regular wool yarn and wash it in the machine and dry it in the drier (presumably in a lingerie bag) it will do its full shrinkage and be washable in the future. I have done that with fabric and find that it works quite well. I'm sorry but I have no wool yarn at all down herel

I've been busy knitting scarves for my family's xmas presents. I have several friends that want me to teach them to knit.

fluffypet61 -> RE: Needles and Hooks (10/10/2010 9:17:41 AM)
Can we see pics? What yarn are you using?

ShaharThorne -> RE: Needles and Hooks (10/10/2010 12:39:07 PM)
I need some help. Lizard thinks that she is pregnant (got the package from Dollar General) . I hope the next test is negative, but I am trying not to work on baby layettes. I got too many projects to work on at this time. Besides, I need to stop looking at the baby stuffies at Walmart. Mom is not helping...she wants to be a great-grand mom. I am not ready to be a grand mom...yet. Lizard had a plan of no babies until she was 25. Damn those hormones... Hey...I am confessing on the wrong thread...LOL! Guess I run along and check out some sites for baby stuffies. I promised Mom that I will not buy any new yarn until I get my projects done.

ShaharThorne -> RE: Needles and Hooks (10/10/2010 1:40:09 PM)
fluffy, there is a lot of merino wool on ebay. Perhaps one of the sellers can answer that question for you.
