When the going gets tough, the tough get knitting (or sewing, or crocheting, or cross-stitching, or quilting, or whatever...)

Do you (or your knitting circle) know anything about quilting and a character named “Sunbonnet Sue”? My wife and I just discovered a quilt with this character and we don’t know how old it is or if it has any value.

I got burned out for awhile and laid very low...and still am kind of low profile, but I lurk around every day...

Hi!! I wondered the same thing a while back.....

I’ve been knitting up a storm this summer, making little girlie dresses and sweaters for friends’ little ones. I’ve just finished one shawl and liked it so much that I’ve started another one while the first one is blocking!

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...

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.

Vast Right Wing Knitting Circle is SO something we should be in on.
