Craft club topic of the month - knitting!

thanks for coming everybody. i have really enjoyed myself although apologies for being a bit all over the place as i was so excited to be hosting and getting visitors all at the same time. a really exciting wednesday for me.

toggle you were missed by us. see you next time (he deffo deserves to clean the cat piss laundry for this :D ).

:)
 
I've been meaning to ask - I've been reading the stitch & bitch stuff that's all over the net right now. Have sew fast sew easy threatened to sue S&B groups for using the name over here yet or is it all just happening in the states?
 
The only people that seem to be getting hit are those running yahoo groups and a couple of the big craft websites being told they can't discuss the details of the case.

It seems a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

BTW I just got a bollocking on knitty. Does zibbo always have a bug up her ass or am I honoured? :D

bit of both.

They have a big habit of selectively enforcing the rules there depending on whether the mods know you or aggree with you. if you are a known face there, you can get away with a lot more because it's pretty easy to get others to do your 'advertising' for you.

Check the love in that some people have about a site called the garter belt, where a certain board moderator sells her patterns. i've seen other examples of stuff like that as well, links to etsy sales etc.

I wouldn't mind but I wouldn't be so fucking stupid as to be so blatant. I put it in that forum because I thought other people might find it interesting or like to do it themsleves. She sent me a really snotty PM so I've sent ehr one right back :D

People? I like my sheep. :D

let it go there, seriously.

I know they have got your back up, but you're not doing yourself any favours any more,

YOU cannot win this one, I should be able to do damage limitation there.

Nah - they can ban me if they want to. I've managed for years without some shitty knitting forum, I'm sure I'll live :D

I was going to leave it ages ago until they fucking piled in.

I've cheered up anyway - a woman at the guild has just told me about this and himself has said we can go as it's the same time as the goat doesn't need milking for a few weeks.

I'd better start saving now for all the fibrey goodies I'm sure to want :)

I'm no good with rubber hammers, I always miss :(

And since that thread there's been about 50 hits on the blog
 
Crocheter converted

I am a crocheter at heart and have made a large amount of blankets for friends and hats for no-one as they're too itchy and stiff but am now dabbling in the wonderful world of knitting. Currently attempting to knit a Millwall scarf for my bear and I'm not to old for a bear it's perfectly respectable as I have a boyfriend too hence the Millwall scarf to try and bond the two......erm

Looking at those pictures I'm still really not sure about that shawl thing. I might take it apart and do it again, minus possibly the cream colour and that reddy brown colinette, and with more black.

It's come out a bit lopsided somehow too. It was when I'd finished it, so I blocked it straight, but one corner has sagged down again. I don't understand how that happened when I increased correctly where it said.
