WORMS KNIT TOO

I am a big supporter of our troops and I wanted to pass this along from the Heartstrings Fibber Arts website! Becky Washburn ( mailto:beckyknits@comcast.net?subject=Engineer ) is in need of helpers for a special service project. She writes ... Thank you very much for the free Mini-Sock pattern . It's very generous of you. My goal is to knit 850 of them for a very special Engineer Battalion currently deployed in the far out regions of Iraq for Christmas. At least 1/2 of these young men receive no mail or any sign of life from home. More of them than you would think don't get any mail at all. And a small token would mean the world to them. Do you think anyone would be willing to help me? I have a few done but a long way to go. And I know that Christmas will be particularly bleak. I am a friend of their Chaplain and I want them to each have something personal for Christmas, stuffed with a little something. I have some sport weight and some worsted weight, I just want them to be co...

Ben Stein's Film Blew Rush Away March 18, 2008 Listen To It! RUSH: Ben Stein has a new movie out. He brought it by my house Friday afternoon to screen it for me. It's called Expelled . It is powerful. It is fabulous. And here's the premise of his movie. The premise is that Darwinism has taken root, taken hold at every major intellectual institution around the world in Western Society, from Great Britain to the United States, you name it. Darwinism, of course, does not permit for the existence of a supreme being, a higher power, or a God. His interviews with some of the professors who espouse Darwinism are literally shocking. The condescension and the arrogance these people have, they will readily admit that Darwinism and evolution do not explain how life began. One of these professors said it might have been that a hyper-intelligence from another planet came here and started our race. This from some professor either in the UK, I forget where it was, but can't ...

I went with my husband and some good friends last night to see American Carol, its a hillarious, good time of a movie. I wish there had been more John Voight, but still a great movie. Here is a review of the movie, and the producer, I can get behind: Hollywood Takes on the Left David Zucker, the director who brought us 'Airplane!' and 'The Naked Gun,' turns his sights on anti-Americanism. by Stephen F. Hayes 08/11/2008, Volume 013, Issue 45 Los AngelesFor anyone who has ever been on a movie set, the commotion inside Warner Brothers Studio 15 will be familiar: serious-faced actors and actresses quietly rehearsing their lines; the director of photography huddled with his assistants around two high-definition screens inside a small black tent reviewing the last scenes; extras lounging around the set trying both to stay out of the way and to get noticed; carpenters busily working to construct the set for the next scene; a frazzled first assistant director guzzling Red Bull ...

I AM WORKING ON A BLANKET FOR MY SISTER. I AM APPROCHING IT AS MY OWN SAMPLER, MAKEING EVERY SQUARE DIFFERENT SO THAT I GAIN NEW SKILLS AND EXPERIANCE WITH EACH NEW SQUARE. ITS BEEN EXCITING AND FUN, RIGHT NOW I AM DOING MY FIRST CABLE PATTERN EVER, ITS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD, BUT AT TIMES, LIKE WHEN I DROP A STICTH I WANT TO CRY! IT IS MUCH HARDER TO PICK UP A STICH WHILE WORKING ON A CABLE THAN JUST KNITTING OR PURLING! SOMEWHERE AROUND THE 9TH SQUARE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE COOL IF ONE OF THE SQUARES HAD MY SISTERS NAME ON IT, SO NOW I WANT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE MY WON PATTERN! I FOUND SOME HELPFUL INFORMATION AND WANTED TO SHARE.... (IT WAS SUPRISINGLY DIFFICULT TO FIND THIS INFO!) (Interview with Margaret Radcliffe, Author of The Knitting Answer Book Interview by Amy Brozio-Andrews) How do you prepare and write out your knitting patterns? My approach varies. Sometimes I play around designing on the needles without more than a vague plan of what I want. If it's successful and I ...
