As it starts to get colder I feel the need to start Christmas gifts. My dad always wants an "stylin' lid" every year with a fold up brim, and I've finally got the perfect pattern down so I thought I'd share.

http://www.b3ta.com/weblog/56/#post1847 B3ta newsletter 403, out now - actually sent vaguely on time for once. A number of reasons 1. Very busy with real work so I've had to plan my time carefully this week - ironic that being busy makes me more efficient and 2. The ad sales on the newsletter have been shite recently but this week we had a proper paid client so thought I owed it to them not to get it out at 7:30pm. Anyway, good week editorially I think. Stuff on Richard Dawkins, lots of fluffy pics and the YouTube crossfader which is genius on a stick. Toodle-pip and I'll go back to editing kittens - see you soon!

Qu'est-ce-que ca veut dire en englais "Quitus Accorde?"
What does it infer when it is stamped on an educational transcript? Merci!

| Bon Jovi Symbols? |
[02 Nov 2009|09:52pm] |
Sorry for anyone getting this duplicate times, cuz yes, I posted it in a few of my communities.
Does anyone happen to have a pattern for any Bon Jovi symbols? Seriously, any of them. I would love to knit up some cool Jovi stuff be it the heart & dagger, smirk, or anything else. I would love you forever if you could share with me, or point me in the correct direction. I have tried googling it and even checking my favorite knitting sites with no luck.
Thanks!

For the longest time since I started knitting I wanted to make a blanket for someone, but was afraid that I would get bored of it, you know? Well, I put that aside and decided to make my great grandmother a shawl/wrap/lap blanket thingamajig for her birthday.
I used size 15 needles and 2 skeins of Inca Organic . The pattern was a simple k1 p2 with 100 stitches. The final dimensions are a bit wonky, 47in by 30in but it made my great grandmother happy and warm, so that's all that matters.

Alright, here's the scoop. My beloved fiance deploys to Iraq in 3 days.
Not ten minutes ago, he sends me a text saying, "Make me a Freddy Krueger sweater! Now! Please!" And he's serious. Apparently Hot Topic sells them for $36.
This is what he wants as a welcome home present, a year from now, when he gets back. He wants me to wear it around after I finish it, until he gets home, to help it look appropriately ratty.
My question to you lovelies is this:
Has anyone made a Freddy Krueger sweater? If so, what yarn brand/colors did you use, and what pattern?
Prease? Franks!!!!
Any sort of help is appreciated!

Hi all
I posted on Ravelry earlier about my messy edging, and how it's mainly due to the slip knot I use when casting on becoming loose when i'm knitting into it, despite all my best efforts. Someone suggested I use Meg Swansen's little twist n go method instead of the slip knot. I've googled and looked on youtube but can't find any guidance on how to do this. I've asked the commenter for a brief description on how it's done, and i'm sure she will get back to me but i'm itching to get going with my latest project (a baby jumper). So can anyone here tell me how it's done, or point me in the direction of a tutorial?
Thanks in advance :)
