I am totally lost, are we chatting about new knitting, Lion brand captures,
websites, new patterns. Please change the subject line, I need to listen to
the helps for new knitters and I can not find which messages to listen to, I
think I have opened about 20 or more and I have lost everything or anything
about new knitting. Please change subject line, or I will continue to post
what are we talking about.
