The Knitters Thread

Are we allowed to scan and make copies of patterns that are not free? Is that not breach of copyright?

Just a thought.

Oh dear spirit, yes I have had that in the past, most recently when learning to crochet, or when using metallic yarns. No real remedy from me I'm afraid...just take a break from what you've been doing, or at least try not to grip the pins/hook so tightly. Sorry if this isn't very helpful!

Still knitting socks for DS1's GF, been sewing much more recently. Need to get the knitting out more often, as have loads to do for Xmas (sorry for mentioning this :xmastree:!).

It's a pain in the wotnot isn't it keiss! i've made 8 of those little baby baskets for charity. You have to use 2 strands of wool so it is more sturdy, i think this is why its happened, it's not sore, just numb!

i'll try some knitting again for a while. will post up some pics when I get home as they are rather sweet (if sad bearing in mind what they are for) would make good dolly cribs too.

Hi all I am a long time lurker on this thread and your all far more knowledgable than I am lol. I have bought some James C Brett Monsoon Wool which I fell in love with and want to make a scarf, nothing fancy with cable in it, but because the wool is classed as Aran I am struggling, would anyone have a suitable pattern or be able to recommend one for me, as I am desperate to get started on it.

He's fantastic, his suitcase his great too

Snuggle69 - There are lots of patterns on Ravley for cable patterns in aran weight, you will have to sign up to view them but it's a great resource.

Really nice, I love those buttons. Today I am putting all proper knitting aside and knitting an Olympic.....Ian Thorpe to be precise.....hope to make others too. A kind friend got me the book as a surprise!
