03 Jul 07 - 11:49 AM (#2093118) Subject: RE: BS: Yarn Harlot? From: jacqui.c Well, I saw the title and had to open the thread.... |

03 Jul 07 - 11:52 AM (#2093122) Subject: RE: BS: Yarn Harlot? From: MMario Hey! I'm *not* a harlot! I may be cheap, but I'm not easy! Or is that the other way around, I get so confused. |
|
03 Jul 07 - 11:54 AM (#2093124) Subject: RE: BS: Yarn Harlot? From: jacqui.c Mmario - easy but not cheap is probably best. The best patterns I use are relatively easy but the yarn costs..... |

03 Jul 07 - 11:59 AM (#2093130) Subject: RE: BS: Yarn Harlot? From: Liz the Squeak Did you ever make anything with that paper yarn we found in Hobbycraft?? I think of you every time I go past it now... LTS |

03 Jul 07 - 12:01 PM (#2093132) Subject: RE: BS: Yarn Harlot? From: MMario What overlap does she see? The harlot is blocked by my content filter. |

03 Jul 07 - 12:05 PM (#2093139) Subject: RE: BS: Yarn Harlot? From: jacqui.c Liz - it's still in the stash, just waiting. I've got about half a dozen projects to do with other yarn right now but it's nice having that cupboard full, just waiting for the right pattern. |

03 Jul 07 - 12:14 PM (#2093150) Subject: RE: BS: Yarn Harlot? From: MMario yes-indeedy it is! I must confess, while I do not visit the Harlot's site; I do hang around Men Who Knit, the knitting forum on Page By Page of Maui; Knitted Lace; the lace knitting list, goddessKnits shawl club, the Mystery shawl club, the Mystery Stole group, and when I can, Knitter's review. But Mudcat is first! |

03 Jul 07 - 12:17 PM (#2093154) Subject: RE: BS: Yarn Harlot? From: Liz the Squeak I notice Hobbycraft is now selling 'Stitch and Bitch' - a pattern book for knitting groups, along with its sister publication 'Stitch and Bitch for Hookers' full of crochet patterns. Almost makes me want to take up knitting again! LTS |

03 Jul 07 - 12:32 PM (#2093174) Subject: RE: BS: Yarn Harlot? From: jacqui.c I don't knit - that caused Carpal Tunnel in both hands and I really don't want to risk that again. Crochet doesn't seem to be a problem though. I like the idea of 'Stitch and Bitch for Hookers' - just what the thread title suggests as well! |

03 Jul 07 - 06:49 PM (#2093453) Subject: RE: BS: Yarn Harlot? From: JennieG Last week at a craft show I bought THE most yummy green yarn, fluffy with little flecks of tan and gold - only five balls because that's all that was left. It will probably become a wrap or shawl, I think there's enough. So many projects, so little time.......roll on retirement...... Cheers JennieG |

04 Jul 07 - 04:27 PM (#2094200) Subject: RE: BS: Yarn Harlot? From: jacqui.c Jennie - even in retirement there is never enough time for all the projects and to use all the yarn I've collected. |

04 Jul 07 - 08:24 PM (#2094367) Subject: RE: BS: Yarn Harlot? From: Sandra in Sydney right on, jacqui!

05 Jul 07 - 03:44 PM (#2094958) Subject: RE: BS: Yarn Harlot? From: Penny S. I am currently working through my backlog of partially finished items - most started when I was more slender. A plain green poloneck sweater ended up at Oxfam. A lacy linen cover-up I now trying to persuade myself looks intended to hang loosely and not meet. My sister gets it if I fail. Two lacy scarves in Twilleys very fine mohair in green and goldy brown random dye, one in crochet chains in a net pattern, one in broomstick crochet. A pair of purple gloves - I think I'm going to unpick them. I've lost my place in the pattern. Then I have some lovely new soft green cashmerey stuff to knit a sleeveless waistcoat in a lacey pattern. Then I check the unstarted yarn stash. Penny |

06 Jul 07 - 03:29 AM (#2095377) Subject: RE: BS: Yarn Harlot? From: open mike i like to MAKE yarn by spinning fleece but do not have the patience to make anything with it after i have! i will be going to an "olden days" re-enacament event next month "disquised" as a spinner. |

06 Jul 07 - 04:03 AM (#2095400) Subject: RE: BS: Yarn Harlot? From: Liz the Squeak That would make you a spinster then... perhaps you and Jacqui could work out a deal? She could make stuff with the yarn you've spun, sell the results at another RE fair and buy Kendall a new set of chains with the proceeds. LTS |

06 Jul 07 - 07:38 AM (#2095513) Subject: RE: BS: Yarn Harlot? From: jacqui.c open mike - what DO you do with the yarn you make? I've never got my hands on hand spun yarn, too expensive for me right now. If you had any going spare I could crochet a shawl for the Mudcat auction! |
