I want to make paddle fans for my wedding programs.  I have the paper and the sticks.  I have 8.5 x 11 card stock. 
How can I make it into a nice shape?  If I bring it someplace could I get it cut?  Or are there reasonably priced tools that I could purchase?
I bought a couple of fiskars corner punches but they are too small to produce any real effect.
Thanks for any suggestions!

I am getting married next summer.  I just got my dress.  I want to knit my wedding veil since I don't love any of the ones they sell in the shops. 
Has anyone out there tried this?  I have googled it with not too much luck. 
I think I'd like a simple-ish lace pattern that I could knit in silk or linen.  My dress is a very simple linen gown from JCrew. 
I want to knit something beautiful that doesn't look home made-y.
I have 7months until the big day and I knit daily. 
Thanks! -Kate

I am looking for a hat to make for my nephew.  He is 3 1/2 - but we come from a long line of big heads. 
I am making him an aran knit cardigan and I'd love to give him a hat and maybe mittens to go with it.  I have Googled it and I can't find anything. 
Here is the sweater: http://www.knitting-crochet.com/chiiricar.html

Thanks!!! -Kate

I love this shawl. But I am too lazy to go to Banana Republic.
Do you guys think it is just a large rectangle, with extra ribbing on one side?

I tried casting on last night for a Rebecca pattern.  It is design # Nr. R1016.013 Romper Suit with Cables and Hat. 
It definitely looks like something I would have no problem with but the instructions are SO unclear and they were definitely written for a European knitter. 
Does anyone have experience with this pattern?  Obviously I can't post the pattern but I need some help!!!
Thanks! -Kate

I am interested in making an Aran Knit Baby bunting or Romper.  Does anyone have any advice?

I just made a sweater with Cotton Fleece.  I have 2 skeins left over. 
Is there a pattern out there for a tank or a little tee that I can make with the leftovers?  I have been looking, but nothing seems to be the right thing.   
The 2 skeins = 7 ounces, 430 yds.  Weight 3, sz 6 needles.
I am an advanced beginner, willing to try something adventurous!  Thanks!!

I saw these in a few magazines.  I love them.  I know that I can make on for less than one tenth of what she charges.  Has anyone tried it?  Wanna try it?

Does anyone have any ideas on how I'd make this?  Know of a similar pattern?  It looks pretty simple.
I am looking around for a similar pattern but I haven't had any luck yet.  I might be able to wing it.  Any suggestions would be very helpful!!
