A Blast from the Past!!!

Memory Lane...
This email was in a bunch of emails asking about note takers & IPhones.
Every now and then I go back and delete old emails.  This one is from 5
years back.

Hi,
I agree with Kathy. I have 2 towels patterns almost finished. I did the
teddy bear & the pearl heart using the wxtra large rou nd loom with Lion
Brand Home Town USA yarn. They came out pretty & very textual. I want to
join them to make a baby blanket. My question to the list is what is the
best way to do this. I have larned to do the single crochet stitch taking
kathy's class. Which would hold up & look the nicest; sewing or crocheting
together?
Debbie

Hello all,



Cathy smiling.



I just wanted to let our newcomers know that, no, this is not normally a
tech list. Sometimes however, like now, folks get off topic, and at the
moment everyone is talking tech. however, be assured that normally we do
talk about crafts!



I thought I'd give everyone an update on my own craft adventures.



I am giving double knitting on a long loom a try for the second time. when I
tried it last year, I just could not get the hang of it. however, I think I
have mastered it now. I have a skein of Homespun Waterfall yarn and have
finished about four inches of knitting without error. (Btw, this yarn is
textured and very soft, and is in variegated blue shades.)



Tonight I am looking forward to learning how to make a dishcloth on the loom
with Tanya. Tomorrow night I am looking forward to teaching folks how to
loom knit baby booties.



So, until Joyce can get a chat set up for tech talk, perhaps we should get
back to talking about crafts? <smile>



Cathy
