Well, I spun the yarn but haven't started the knitting yet. You have prompted me to wash the skein and knit a test swatch this week.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
What are you working on now?

Greetings, I'm new to this board; glad to see a fellowship of knitters, crocheters and needlecrafters. My current project is a crochet shawl which I have spent more time on than any other project by far - probably about 18 months now. It's a triangular shawl done with a size 20 crochet cotton in a quasi fisherman's net look. The net body is now completed and I'm adding a scalloped border around it and I may or may not add a fringe. I've also crocheted 45 granny squares and medallions, each one different, to be sewn on top of the mesh pattern in 15 groups of 3. Lastly, I intend to dye it a blush color. Sometimes, when I've had my fill of the shawl, I take a break from it and work on a knit afghan - that's also been in the works for well over a year. Someday, and I truly hope it's someday soon, I'll have these projects completed so that I can work on something new!

Hi and welcome
There is nothing like finishing outstanding project - I should know lol.
It is good to have you join us here. I am knitting another baby blanket to use up left over yarn. I did have other plans but my mother saw a lovely pattern for a cable jacket and I am not sure if I should try and knit it for her

Hi all. I am a crocheter. Right now I am working on a baby afghan. The pattern is simple and it looks so nice. It shouldn't take me long to finish it and sell it on eBay.

Some local churches have classes for the production of such items for sending to Africa and elsewhere. I guess you learn gradually how to do it over and over.
Blessings.

As they say rinse and repeat.
I have never been to a church that does that. I am currently looking for a new church tho so I will have to see if any in my area do it.

Cable knitting is fun and gratifying - wish you the best with that project.

Hmmm....looks like under the "quick reply," there's an option to post a pic with a URL. Under "advance" under additional options, there's a place to attach files. So I'm going to see if I can upload some pic and let see what happens.I think we need to show our work and post pictures but I am not sure how ?

If it's already a prayerful, Bible based local church, then such activities can add to the fellowship. (I hope you find somewhere that will be a spiritual home.)
Blessings.

I think I may have found it. It's a bible based church, small congregation, they do bible studies before church and on Wednesday night. I will be going to the one on Wednesday. I caught the tail end of the bible study today and I really liked how it was done. You didn't get preached at and they include you in the studies. Very informal which is so nice. Also I wasn't judged unfit because of my bipolar.

Prayer and Bible study are the elements in which the believer in the Lord Jesus lives and breathes, and if you have found a suitable local place for fellowship, this can be a great blessing.

I have started another baby blanket
Do you use your blankets as gifts? Do you sell them or give them to charity? I am giving the one I am working on to charity since I don't have any babies around me.

Well, did the yarn pass the test?
I have just finished a second doll's jumper using a pattern I based on the Fish and Chip Baby jumper. I need to do a couple more, but need to get back to knitting the second of a pair of slippers I've been working on.

I am sorry if I sound kind of stupid, but what is cable knitting?
