They are still in beta so you have to be invited to join at the moment by sending them a request. But soon they will be open to anyone. It's a place where you can display your work, keep track of patterns you want to do and basically network with people with forums and groups. But what I love most, is because everyone's putting all their info into this one huge database, you can search patterns you're interested in and suddenly seen a dozen of in progress or finished works by real people! There were like 18 other people knitting the Back to School vest so I go to look at all theirs and see what yarns they choose and any alterations they made or suggest!! But the thing that really got me is that I posted mine yesterday when I finished, saying I loved the pattern but wasn't sure it looked good on me. By this morning four people had left messages that they thought it looked great! Your compliments really mean a lot but the fact that four total strangers took the time to comment is amazing. This is what I love about the knitting community. Everyone is so caring and supportive!!jeekeehoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03710598872593321966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502744.post-62505570293859909472007-07-28T08:31:00.000-04:002007-07-28T08:31:00.000-04:00Wow!

It's a popular sock yarn but there's no reason you should know it. It's a blend of wool and nylon and it's really nice to work with. Mostly it's known for those subtle stripping effects. They sell true self-stripping sock yarn too but you know me and true self-stripping sock yarn! I like this Trekking cause it has interesting color changes without looking like a planned strip pattern in anyway. I just wondered if I understood what was happening in the yarn enough to actually recreate it with my own spinning. My socks were spun out of pure wool. It's called Northern Lights roving and is sold by Louet company. They don't say on the website what kind of wool it is.<BR/><BR/>Abby, I just looked at the Lace-A-Licious yarn and it looks, well, delicious!! What color did you get? How did you order 'cause I couldn't find order info on the webpage?<BR/><BR/>Brandy, we finished Harry Potter Thursday night but I didn't have time to call you yesterday. I definitely want to chat about it sometime. We're leaving today for another visit home. We'll probably come back Thursday but I have highspeed internet there now. I'll try to get on ichat sometime or call but you know what it's like when you're visiting home. Never enough time to do everything!jeekeehoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03710598872593321966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502744.post-76488167014590602222007-07-27T19:22:00.000-04:002007-07-27T19:22:00.000-04:00I agree that the top looks fabulous.

I'm embarrassed to say I don't know what you mean by Trekking but I like them anyway.<BR/><BR/>Hope you are enjoying your summer.BrandyMcDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250369651805323243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502744.post-66514208119939256712007-07-27T17:13:00.000-04:002007-07-27T17:13:00.000-04:00The fitted knit looks GREAT on you!

What fiber is it? Wool and nylon blend? All this looking makes me want to touch...time to ball up the skein of J Knits Lace-A-Licious that just came in the mail!burabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372931266151737809noreply@blogger.com
