Hi:  Just us at Knitting Today for the beginning of the Sideways Sock
Knitalong using the Sock Options pattern book.  Chat will be conducted
through our Forums.  Register your interest at:

http://wb8.knittingtoday.com/default.asp?
action=9&boardid=2&read=1092&fid=6

You'll probably have to cut and paste the URL after the ? if the line
breaks.  At the chat on July 21, we'll be talking about yarn choices,
gauge, and measuring.  The sock itself takes about 5 minutes to knit
and the seaming up takes about 2 hours :-) . . .

Hope you can join us. . . Lea-Ann

P.S.  I'm posting this on the yahoo knitalong group as a special notice
to alert everyone to this upcoming knitalong.  Discussion will take
place in the Forums at Knitting Today not in yahoo.

Hi, Gloria,

I haven't done lace in a while, but I remember that the lace carriage always
moved an even number of times (2, 4, 6, etc.), starting on the left and
ending on the left.  I also remember that after the last right-to-left
movement, the needles were all lined up exactly the same way (I think in "B"
or working position).    If there are needles selected to different
positions, then you're not done and need to keep moving the lace carriage.

There is a more accurate way of knowing when it's time to move the knit
carriage, but I don't remember exactly how it works.  It has to do with the
marking on the mylar sheet, maybe there are extra dots on the rows where you
move the knit carriage???  Something like that.............

If this doesn't help you figure it out I'll see if I can find a better
explanation somewhere.

Mastectomy Hospital Bill in Congress

A mastectomy is when a woman's breast is removed in order to remove
cancerous breast cells/tissue. If you know anyone who has had a
mastectomy, you may know that there is a lot of discomfort and pain
afterwards.  Insurance companies are trying to make mastectomies an
outpatient procedure.
Let's give women the chance to recover properly in the hospital for
2 days after surgery.

There's a bill called the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act which
will require insurance companies to cover a minimum 48-hour hospital
stay for patients undergoing a mastectomy. It's about eliminating
the drive-through mastectomy' where women are forced to go home just
a few hours after surgery, against the wishes of their doctor, still
groggy from anesthesia and sometimes with drainage tubes still
attached.

Lifetime Television has put this bill on their web page with a
petition drive to show your support. Last year over half the House
signed on.

PLEASE!! Sign the petition by clicking on the web site below. You
need not give more than your name and zip code number.

http://www.lifetimetv.com/breastcancer/petition/signpetition.php

This takes about 2 seconds. PLEASE PASS THIS ON to your friends and
family, and on behalf of all women, THANKS.

Hello,

some more funds for my donation. Please help if you can ever little
bit helps. This is such an important cause to me because this year, an
estimated 40,000 women will die from the disease. Breast cancer takes
another life every 14 minutes. Another woman is diagnosed with breast
cancer every 3 minutes. An estimated three million women are living
with breast cancer. One million of them don't yet know it.

As part of the event, I pledged to raise money. People can make
donations on my behalf, so that I can reach my fundraising goal. With
the donations raised, the Avon Foundation will provide support and
resources for women affected by this terrible disease. This will help
so many people in our own community and throughout the country. Any
amount you can give is great; I just appreciate your support.

It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause - you

the front entrance doors, or we may be in the annex (which is the old
Post Office). We usually meet from 10 a.m. to noon.

Bring your knitting, crocheting, plastic canvas, latch hook rug
projects or any other yarn/thread craft and join us!

I will be there making a new hat for charity. I finished the blue and
purple one last week.

Hi everyone I need some help I just purchased a pattern and in
reading through the instructions after the pieces are knitted it said
to put it together with a welted seam is anyone familiar with this if
so would you tell me how its done   Thanks Marty

Hi,

I am lazy, I will just plain ol' admit it.  I don't want to do math to
convert a toddler sweater written for standard machine to mid gauge.

Does anybody have a free pattern for toddler size 4 for the mid gauge
machine?

I have looked all over the world thru the internet and haven't found
one for free.

I am working on converting a hand knitted pattern to knitting machine
and I don't like doing that for my first sweater.

So thanks, if you can help.

Terry in MI

Hi Jess -

If you can get hold of a Brother 395 carriage, it will do intarsia for
you on the 350! The 395 is their convertible carriage, and it will
work on the 350 to do intarsia. I was able to pick up a used one for
my 350 because I am an intarsia NUT and couldn't imagine not being
able to do intarsia on the 350, or having to do intarsia by hand.

Hope this helps,

Jill :)

Hi,

Funny, I just asked the question at two other sites on Yahoo!.

What kind of Intarsia do you want to do?  Two color would be easy to
do.

What I have been able to glean from the posts, is: pull the needles
that will be needing color change into "D" position.  Put the carriage
in "P".  Run the carriage down the needles.  Then the needles you
have "P" you will hand knit on the machine.  I guess you're suppose to
always change the colors on the same side.  And you will need to figure
out how to twist the two colors together so you will not be developing
holes as you go along.  Someone also suggested using bobbins for the
individual colors, placing them at your feet on the floor.

I tried to do this with a picture in a graph that I wanted to put on a
sweater front.  I started on the lower right hand side and the picture
was coming out backwards.  So I pulled it off the machine, but it
seemed like it was working.  I had holes, but it was only a swatch.  I
am going to try it again soon.  I've been busy this week with other
stuff so can't sit at the KM too much right now.

If you have a owner's manual, read about how to do the "Multi-Color
Skip Stitch Pattern".  It will explain the "D" needle position and "P"
on the carriage.

Hi,
    Could someone tell me what happened to the large Bond list.  I really miss
all the people on it and all of their enthusiasum.  They gave so many hints,
ideas and patterns.  Is there a new list going on now that I may have missed?


[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hi,
Is it the pattern for the round stripe baby afghan that you are
looking for? If so, then just go to the group home page, because it it
saved under the files there.

If it is a different one, could you please forward me a copy when you
get it!

If you have a machine you haven't used for a while don't be surprised if it
needs a new sponge bar to knit properly.  The sponge naturally breaks down over
time and will no longer hold the needles in proper alignment. It may or may not
knit...and can lead to much frustration if you don't realize what the problem
is.  You can get replacement sponge bars/sponge and there are also directions
online for replacing the sponge with weather stripping (use low density) if
you'd like to try that.  I remove my sponge bar when not using my machines to
help prolong the life of the sponge.  Arlene in TX <><

I can't help you with your needs, but wanted to extend
a "Hello".

Like you, I bought my machine (Brother 700 and ribber)
quite a few years ago but haven't used it yet.  I
finally pulled it out a couple months ago with the
hopes of either using the thing or selling it, but
haven't gotten around to playing with it yet.  Maybe
soon?

Hopefully you'll be more proactive than I currently am
and actually get something done.  I look forward to
hearing all about your progress.
