I have 2 balls of sirdar cossack chunky to make a scarf for a friend with. I don't want to do just a plain rib. Do any of you guys have an idea for another stitch I can do? Thanks.

I want to try to embrioder on a hoodie for a Christmas present. What would I need besides the hoodie and embriodery floss?

Has anyone here ever attempted this cross stitch. I just bought the pattern recently and I am looking forward to starting it in the semi-near fututre. I think it look like it will be one of the most complex things I have ever cross stitched with all of the beading.

I want to knit Clapotis from Knitty. http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall04/PATTclapotis.html

My problem is that I don't understand what some of the notations mean and I can't find it on the internet. I am assuming kfb means knit from back and pfb means knit from back? If so why can't I find this notation anywhere? They don't even have it on the knitty site.

Has anyone ever bought the silk hankies that you hand spin and then knit with? I saw a kit on the weekend and the colours were just too beautiful to not buy. And I am always willing to try something new!

I am just nervous because I don't want to majorly screw up the spinning so I was wondering if anyone has any tips. Instructions are included in the kit of course.

I am taking a trip to Toronto and Nova Scotia this fall. Are there any great crafty-type stores I should check out in either of these places? Any place where I can find great bargains?

Has anyone here kitted this up? I discovered it today and have spent way too long drooling over it all day long. I need to make one!

And if you have made it what sorts of colours did you use and how did you manage to choose colours to use?
