Have you ever been stumped by all those crazy knitting abbreviations? Well, because knitting has developed around the world, there are so many different techniques that are similar and so many terms that really describe the same or very similar things. Therefore you will find that knitting abbreviations will vary. Hopefully the designer will be kind enough to give a list of the abbreviations s/he uses. If not, hopefully these will help.

My sweet DH sent me a link this morning. Please check it out here. His comment to me was, "This is what happens when knitters hoard..."
My comment back was, "We don't hoard! Just think of us as the Honor Guard. But doesn't this mean we need to protect more fiber? Off to save some more fiber."
So please do your fair share today and…

Thank you for your assistance, it's been very helpful. I joined Ravelry...Felix52 is my username. I'll be checking the various groups out. Again thank you.... Felix
In the process of putting together a sock, while working on the flap back and forward, Dutch heel I think it's called, I work on a stitch pattern...slip 1, k1 across, turn purl all. Well it turn out very nicely, liked the padded feel. I wanted to do the same along the sole section. Problem was.. while working on the round I could not purl...but it hit me afterwards that I can slip1, k1 on one round and knit all on the second round, and alternate. That should be the same as going back and forth as I did on the heel, right. On the same subject, what else can I do do create a nice cushy sole? Suggestions are greatly appreciated. This was my first knitted sock, not bad at all... used super fine yarn (sock yarn). Thank you in advance... // Felix
Hey, Cheryl, thanks for writing back. I was beginning to think you didn't love me any more. lol right? Yes, this is going to be an ordeal. I have friends and priests praying for me around the globe. You are the only one saying she will light a candle for me. Thanks for that.
I wish you were closer, too. I could really use a friendly knitter to talk to. There aren't very many that I have come across at the new residence. My mother in law lives with me now and he has had me refresh her with the knitting. She took a class years ago and now is trying to re-learn. She is 93 and tries hard, but I don't think she will be knitting lace any time soon.
My sunroom is my favorite place to spin. Come join me any time you are in Georgia.
Hey, Cheryl. I thought we were friends already, too. We've been communicating for so long. It never really dawned on me that we weren't. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. My surgery was resceduled because the doc had an emergency case which bumped the schedule back. It is now to be on this Monday, Feb. 25th. Please keep me in yout thoughts and prayers. It will be a hard recoup for me because of other health issues. I will do my darndest to beat this thing. Don't know when I'll be able to do any knitting or spinning. I have a lovely sunroom in which to spin at our new house, I also have a room for my office which is covered in storage boxes of yarn and goodies to spin. I'm already missing it.
yes chery i am the one who wants to learn entrelac.i just joined all of this last week,and dont know how it works.Helen
No problem......as soon as I get caught up on Christmas afghans for my grand children, the shawl will probably be one of my next projects..........I get too many w.i.p. going, I must have A.D.D. LOL
Thanks for adding me as well. Hope you are having a good day. Been a long day so far. Not getting a lot of knitting time in. Have 2 papers for school due and the baby takes up a lot of time... Will be so glad when this quarter is over and I have a couple weeks off to knit!!
Yep, those were the colors. It is beautiful! I am pretty new to this so hopefully I can meet new friends. I hear ya about leaving the page open. I do the same thing. Thanks for the comment about the lil one. He's a miracle:) Dr said I couldn't have anymore kids. My "youngest had just graduated high school and surprise! Guess what?! Was rough at first as he was only 2 1/2 pounds when he was born and spent his first couple months in the hospital. I've tried knitting for him but I am not very fast so the only thing I have made hime that he hasn't outgrown before I finished it was his blankie LOL
Ty ty ty!!!!!
