Whatever Happened To the Vast Right Wing Knitting Circle (VANITY)?

Where are all my girlfriends from the Vast Right Wing Knitting Circle? I miss you all! Let me know by responding to this post.

[knittnmom]

Thanks! I’m between projects right now, and getting a little antsy - need to take some time to go through my pattern magazines and find something to knit.

[IN Farm Girl]

You know, knittnmom, it IS that time of year to look through your stash and kit things up for the long winter coming soon (and I see you are from Wisconsin; farther north than me in Indiana!)...

Have fun!

[knittnmom]

Yep, winter’s a good time to be knitting in Wisconsin. If I start a big project in October, it’ll keep my lap warm by December or January. :-)

It would be perfect for your daughter’s bed!

I agree and thank you for the googling. I've had very little interest in quilting or knitting (typical, I'd say for a guy) until we came across Sunbonnet Sue and I started looking her up just yesterday. I probably left over 50 quilts of varying ages in a house 3 hours away from me because I thought they were basically just old rags. After looking at Sue's history, I'm seriously considering driving back out there this weekend to get the rest.

Your knitting-related post came at a very coincidental time for me. Thanks again for your help!

BTW, if there are any guys out there with a craft specialty, the VRWKC is a discrimination-free zone. Please join us. It’s not just for the ladies!

[IN Farm Girl]

You are very welcome. And if you don’t go get those other quilts, I will do it instead!

[mmichaels1970]

but they wouldn’t be Victorian era or anything.

Thank you as well for your input. We figured them more for "depression-era" as well. However, they almost seem to be in too good of a shape. My g'ma-in-law is over 90, so it's not like she made it yesterday, and her mother lived in the same house before her. I wish I could ask her, but she's not in much of a condition to recollect.

I'll maybe see if anybody at a local fabric store can help tell me more about the age of the fabric.

All,

I am not trying to flog a website or anything but I saw the title of this thread and had post a link for you. My Spouse does a LOT of knitting and design work. I have been trying to get her interested in FreeRepublic but no joy yet.

She has LOTS of Free and for Charity patters that she has designed on her web site - http://www.p2designs.com/

She has socks, sweaters, hats and all kinds of patterns she has designed. Just thought you might like another resource/more material...

Pardon the thread hijack! and I will keep trying to get her interested. Maybe now that I know there is a Vast Right Wing Knitting Circle...

[pissant]

Can one of you knit me one of these?

[Daffynition]

That's not knitted. It's crocheted. LOL Gotta have the right terminology or you can't join.

[pissant]

LOL. Good to see the Sleestak look making a comeback.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Exactly...equal opportunity crafting circle...all crafts are welcome.

[Daffynition]

I'm dying my own wool learn and going to learn how to spin

[IN Farm Girl]

Sorry, Pissant, I can’t knit or crochet. If I could, I would try it just for sh*ts and giggles.

[IN Farm Girl]

Can someone find the link with the photos of actual signs with funny sayings from the 9/12 rally in DC? I had an idea this afternoon to work the sayings into little conservative cross-stitch samplers.

TIA!

I wasn’t a part of it then, but I knit now, so I want in! LOL!

I am pretty much a novice knitter, self-taught from a book and then knittinghelp.com . I am currently around half-way through a Cable Luxe Tunic (on Lion Brand’s website). Pretty ambitious for a first sweater attempt. I learned how to cable from the weekly Lion Brand emails.

I also know how to crochet, but I get elbow & hand pain from crochet. I decided to try knitting because of that, and I love it.

[cdbear]

They were very much appreciated!! One of the dresses I made was the little girl’s ‘coming home’ dress. I was so touched!!

If any of you knitters or crocheters is on Ravelry, come and check out the Politically Incorrect Conservative group!!

[cdbear]

WOW!! That IS an ambitious for a first sweater!! I can’t wait to see it when you’re done!

I always recommend knittinghelp.com as a great tool to all of my new knitting students. It’s helped me a bunch too...

[Marie Antoinette]

Don’t be too impressed! LOL! I started it in Feb., then shelved it because I was intimidated by the body directions. I picked it back up in July and just did what it said. Slow going, but I’m sure my daughter will love the sweater.

I’ll check you all out on Ravelry!
