While this may be a design element, I wish the various magazines would realize that this is very difficult to read >> White on dark is easier for may people to read, and some of the handicapped settings on computer monitors are designed to reproduce text this way. Just out of curiosity, is there anyone else on this list with Optic Neuritis? If so, please contact me off list. Did you cope with the onset of yours by knitting with white speckled dark yarn as I did?

Knitlisters - help! I'm going to be about 20 yards short on a pair of socks I'm knitting for a gift for a friend. I only need a partial ball of Cleckheaton Tapestry 8ply- color 03 - Winter Plaid. If anyone has a few spare yards, I'd be most grateful and be happy to trade, pay, etc. Hopefully, somewhere in your stashes.... Thanks for looking!! /san/ ===== San Cannon in W.

My sweater is knitted from the bottom up, has a seed stitch hem, with side splits, bordered in seed stitch. And I thought I it would be nice to have the neckband in seed stitch. I am planning a v neck front for my sweater ( it's a pullover) and I was going to decrease for the v neck next to the neckband. So I also wanted to know, would the seed stitch be a bad idea for a neckband? Does it stretch much?

(He said he wanted something understated yet elegant, and I was determined to make him something thatI would enjoy, so this seems like the perfect choice!) My question is re. the sleeves. I have increased to 33%, but that only gives me 16 inches, which i fear may be too tight. If I increased more, would that mess up my percentage for the rest of the sweater? (FYI: I am using 4 stitches = 1 inch gauge. The body is 184 stitches, and I have increased the sleevs to 62 stitches.) Thanks as always, Cecilia Sun cecsun@ucla.edu ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2000 22:54:00 -0600 From: "Donna Tritz" Subject: Knit: Re: substituting for AS yarns Hi all, I'm coming out of lurkdom to ask for some help & to recommend a new LYS. For the past 2 or 3 years I've been promising DD#1 that I would knit the St. Brigid from Aran Knitting for her. Now that I have the time (more or less - actually more in response to her nagging than my having more time) AS yarn is no longer available. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what yarn I can substitute for the Campion which is called for? Has anyone ever used Ballybrae? I have some Ballybrae in gray with black & white flecks that DD likes a lot. Does anyone know if this would be an acceptable substitution? I know I will still have to swatch but if anyone has had any experience with this substitution I'd love to hear about your experience. Or, if you've had good luck with some other yarn, I'd appreciate knowing that too. NEW LYS IN OAK PARK IL A couple of weeks ago I visited Tangled Web, the new LYS at 177 S Oak Park Ave in Oak Park & can recommend it. It's small but carries lovely yarns, nice needles & is open Sat, Sun & one evening a week. TIA, Donna in Oak Park IL ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2000 17:50:38 +1100 From: Sarah and Jamie Subject: Knit: Anyone have unwanted Woolease? Hi all, I'm almost finished with the 1999 knitlist gifts page and I was wondering something... I'd like to knit quite a few of the patterns during the next year so I can put pictures up, and since we don't have worsted weight yarn in Australia does anyone have any Woolease (or other worsted weight yarn) that they would like to donate to me so I can get the pictures up? (hey, and if you have any chinchilla by Berroco that you don't want All items knit will be given to charities listed on my Australian charities page (http://www.oocities.org/handknitter/charities.htm , or to the Royal Prince Alfred hospital's fundraising efforts. (My Mum goes to RPA for chemotherapy). I certainly wouldn't need a lot of yarn, but if anyone has stashed an extra 500gms off oddballs that they don't want I can make use of them can't afford to pay you, but all items would definitely go to charity. (even if you have 1 ball, that would be great! I haven't added it up but I think a total of 500gms should enable me to knit all the hat & scarf patterns up at least) Sarah, who was just wonderin' (and really must get knitting on the uterus shaped backpack for next year's Dance as Ever auction or she'll run out of time again)... 2000 Knitlist gifts: http://www.oocities.org/handknitter/2000 Knitting Books, CD's, DVD's, Palm Pilots and more at up to 40% off! http://www.oocities.org/Paris/9197/amazonbooks.htm Visit my webpage http://www.oocities.org/handknitter for knitting, crochet, recipes, the GLBT Knitters list (and MORE!)

All the patterns are there and some of them even have pretty pictures :) There are also some patterns that were supposed to go on the 99 gifts page all along but somehow never made it before now. A huge thankyou to everyone who sent me patterns, pictures, corrections and suggestions as to where I could find pictures (yes, I did ask permission to use all pictures posted with the patterns). Phew, am I glad Woolworks didn't disappear permanently, cos then I'd be doing the 97 list as well :P Sarah :) 1998 Knitlist gifts http://www.oocities.org/handknitter/knitlistgifts.htm 1999 Knitlist gifts http://www.oocities.org/handknitter/1999 2000 Knitlist gifts: http://www.oocities.org/handknitter/2000 Knitting Books, CD's, DVD's, Palm Pilots and more at up to 40% off! http://www.oocities.org/Paris/9197/amazonbooks.htm Visit my webpage http://www.oocities.org/handknitter for knitting, crochet, recipes, the GLBT Knitters list (and MORE!)
