Hey everyone,

I am having a crisis with my royal jumbo wool winder.  When I'm winding my yarn it skips and the platform that the yarn sits on doesn't spin.     It looks like the teeth aren't catching in some spots, but I can't seem to find any replacement parts and I don't want to shall out $300 for a new one. Can anyone help me please.

Thanks in advanced

I went to my local Food 4 Less recently and well standing in line to pay for my groceries I spotted this soft covered book and instantly fall in love with it cause every recipe involved CHOCOLATE  . Sweet delicious chocolate

So the first recipe I tried was Chocolate Mini Cheesecakes. They were easy to make and tasted great.

This is what they're suppose to look like...


and these are how mine came out

Two of several scarves I have made and sold. But stupid me forgot to take pictures of the other three scarves before they were handed to their new owners 

The first one is Red Heart Plum Pudding. It took about 1 and 1/2 skeins of yarn.



It's about 5 1/4 in. wide and 66 in. long



I decided to make a pocket. The pocket is 5 1/4 in. wide and 5 5/8 in long.





My godson wouldn't stop tugging at the scarf until I let him wear it and I thought he looked so cute I just had to take pictures of him

This is the second scarf made from Red Heart Zebra



It's about 5 1/4 in. wide and 67 in. long



The person also wanted pockets after seeing the plum pudding scarf. The pocket is 5 1/4 in. wide and 6 in. long

The pockets were easy after weaving in ends in I folded the ends and cut separate pieces of yarn and whipped stitch the sides together

I have several skeins of unlabeled yarn  and was wondering how would I figure out the gauge.

Thank you in advance.

Hey Everyone! I was inspiered by Rheatheylia's cable hat and a knit beanie that my sister had made. I always see knit ribbed beanies but rarely any crochet ones, so I decided to make one myself.

After a lot a frogging, different hook sizes, and a little bit of math did I finally get it right.



Here is the beanie in it's half done stage.
