knitwit replied to knitwit's discussion Set up a page to inventory needles and yarn."thank you supporting this idea, but as you can see I wrote this several years ago. At the time I emailed Alpaca Direct and asked them directly and the response was the same, "they would talk it over", and I never heard anything else. Maybe…"

Loretta Acosta replied to knitwit's discussion Set up a page to inventory needles and yarn."I LOVE the idea of an inventory page.

knitwit replied to knitwit's discussion Sock knitting in the group Knit Chicks"Good point Robyn. Also, for those who want to try knitting socks, when you come to the join, the place where you need to change to another needle, knit the first stitch on the new needle and put your left hand needle into the second stitch. This is…"

Sherry Baker said… - Thank you, so much, for your offer of help. Sometimes I come across terms in my knitting instructions that I have to look up. But if I work at it long enough, I figure them out. I appreciate knowing there will be someone I can ask questions to. Thanks again.

- Hi knitwit (Mary) ... sorry it has taken me sooooo very long to respond to your answers. My PC died not long
after I started in this group ... my hubby recently built me a new one. I had limited access to his, he uses his
for his job, as well as play. Since it was a VIRUS that killed my PC, we were both reluctant for me to go any-
where on line .. .not knowing WHERE I may have gotten it! FINALLY, I now have my own and am trying to play
catch up with all my mail and groups, etc. Are you the same Mary/Knitwit that I met before Christmas at the knitter merchantile??? She & I decided that I/we had actually chatted through this group!!! Amazing.
Well, I haven't made ANY PROGRESS with seaming/finishing any garments ... I now have almost 4 to put together ... am thinking of taking a private class at one of the 2 shops that I go to. I do have the book you re-
commended by Wiseman; I just haven't had time to use it! I made a ton of knitted gifts for Chrismas and am now working on knitted gifts for my son(s) for their birthday, my mom and my cousin. Hopefully, after that I can get back to my own stuff!!! No, I really love making things for people and I do do some charity knitting, preemies mostly. Aslo, I HAVE MADE some scarves as gifts from ALPACA!!! Wow! It is absolutely awesome to work with. I have not however, made a garment. WHERE, what group can I find the Knit Chicks? I would
love to read what they have to say about alpaca. I even got to see some alpacas during our travels last summer! They are so homely ... that they are cute! I just love their eyes ... it's like they can see right into you!
Anyway, got lots to do today ... my house is suffering from all the knitting I have been doing and sewing too.
Hope to hear from you! Again, sorry for the absence.

- So, have you even had 100% Alpaca STRETCH on you? I have
heard that once it stretches ... it doesn't retain it's original shape?
I LOVE ALPACA! I am considering purchasing some that I found
at a decent price, but after hearing this ... I am more than reluctant to try it. I heard that same thing about 100% Bamboo,
another ... have you had any experience with this one?
I would really apreciate your comments!
By the way ... I love your page, your dog is SO CUTE! Our names are close ... mine is Knuttyknitter!
I haven't done much on my page ... or on my Ravelry. I don't
have pics of the things that I have done. A lot of what I have done
is STILL waiting to be pieced together! LOL! I need to learn so
much more!
PLEASE, ANY AND ALL COMMENTS ARE WELCOME!

- I have been teaching beginning and intermediate knitting classes for three years and have acquired quite a bit of knowledge on the subject of knitting. Also, after passing level one master knitting and in the process of doing level two, I can tell you it takes a lot of skill and knowledge to pass them. If you have problems with your knitting, I may be able to help.
