I see posted that we have a new link...how does one discern "which one" is the
new one when there are no dates as to when they were posted.?

My memory of what we had before  looking at the list is
not working for me....age may be a factor here..haha

Hi,
 
I don't know how to show it as the specific link. Anyone out there a Yahoo
moderator who might know ? I could send a posting stating what is new. Usually
it's a new pattern added.
So I'll let you know the specific link when I add it.

Thanks! That would help me find it.

On other sites of yahoogroups, they put a date as to when it was put on...As I
know nothing as  to  how to do this, it
may be a hassle so if so, don't bother  about it.  thank you for looking for
some way.

Stumbled upon this wonderful website which features photographs of
objects at the Nordiska Museum in Stockholm. I put stickning (knitting)
under search and alot of mittens popped including a number from Estonia.
Very cool !

This Sunday is the next Knit Cafe' We meet at one for a light potluck with
knitting to follow. Come and join us ! Admittance to the museum is free for this
group.

Howdy,
It was decided that for December we would stick with the date of December 20th
for the knitting cafe. Two things that were discussed for the meeting were a
gift exchange and a raffle. So for those of you planning on coming to the event
do you want to do a gift exchange? and for everyone; do you have anything you
would like to contribute for the raffle?

good cheer.

The new link I added was the Dragonboat sweater that was recently posted. Many
other free patterns are located in this section. If you know of anymore you
think would be of interest please let us know.

Check out the adorable little  stuga <http://www.wermland.nu/Stickning/>

fun to go on and see what critters and plants she's knit up next !

1. Click on links in the left hand column of the home page
2. Click on Free Northern European style patterns.
This will take you to all the category links ie misc., hats, mittens/gloves,
etc.. I added New 11/09 to the most recent ones.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Many thanks...Farmerkarin...for posting all the new links to great
patterns!  I thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the sites, bookmarking
my faves and looking at all the other good things on those sites.  I
really appreciate the date put on them, too.

It took quite awhile of computer time but loved every minute of it!
Thanks so much for taking the time to post.

You are very welcome ! I enjoy searching for these links and I am happy that you
like them too.
