Today has been wonderful! First, Anni329, who posted those luscious pictures a few days ago, did the sweetest thing! She sent me her teen capelet pattern, but it was crochet and I only knit. I joked that I would give it to my grand daughter's Mother to do as she crochets nice pot holders. Today Anni sent a sweet note and an incredibly beautiful potholder pattern for my D-in-L. It is called chrysanthemum.

Then later today, I heard from the Ravelry designer Sara Gresbach
. I bought her Hoodsie pattern for my Grandson, who is a very large 8, because it was suitable for children and teens. But the pattern turned out to be called Adult Hoodsie. I wrote to her to ask if there was a teen pattern instead. It is all one pattern, but she offered to convert it for me. I dumped all my problems on her, Andy's size and age, different yarn, smaller needles, and that my first convertion effort would keep an elephant warm. Bless her heart, moments later she sent suggestions for size, why my needles and yarn would work as she knit tightly, and a tip to make sure the hood would be right. All for a $4.00 sale.

Two wonderful knitters/crocheters made a fussy old lady very happy today. As someone posted a few days ago, knitters truly are nurturers.

I second that! I have had some of the nicest experiences on this site and I KNOW that I can always get help when I've knit myself into a corner!!!!!

I think that hadcrafters in general are like this. We "feel their pain" so to speak. a kind of been there done that attitude ad we enjoy making someone feel better. By helping someone else we help ourselves. and it is just right to help others

 

[gmasiddy]

That expresses it so well, Crissy. I have been reading posts for months now, and they evince genuine kindness, again and again.

I agree 100%. You said it so much better than I could

 

[glnwhi]

I so agree with you needle work people are such good friends

 

[kiwiannie]

Is'nt that the truth,kp is such a wonderful,helpful place.

 

[LBush1144]

I agree with all of you; KP is a great place "to hang out." I need something in the morning after the dogs are taken care of -- something that shows me I am not the only knitter or crocheter; something that answers my questions even if they are trivial to others; something that educates (I learn new skills); and something that starts my day with a bit of humor -- KP is just the place for me. Thanks so much!

KP unbelievable friendliness and support is unparalleled anywhere I have seen. The help I have received made me a better knitter and more knowledgeable. Encouragement from all around, seriously, it's unbelievable. Also sharing the experiences, funny and often frustrating, makes fixing them a much less painful experience. Thank you KP members for your generous kindness.

You might like to take a look a shaw pattern that I have knitted several times.The pattern can be found free at
interweave Summer Chawlette. design by Sande Wiseheart. This is a short shaw, but you can add length if you want it long.This pattern was also in the Interweave Summer issue 2010.

I just had a great mental picture of you with a room-size afghan which literally had you boxed into a corner and would not let you out until you bound him (her?) off! LOL. Thanks for the laugh!

 

[diane647]

I too want to express my gratitude for all of the help, kind words and support that I have received from the knitters on this site. It is truly a wonderful experience to have so many who share their help. I only wish that you all lived near so we could share and become close friends.

I must add my "two cents". What a great group. So glad I joined. Loving, caring, supportive and UNDERSTANDING are just a few of the adjectives that apply here. Someone even remembered my birthday and sent a greeting! That blew me away.

I think this is the best site as well. I haven't had to ask questions because if I had any they were all answered because OP has asked them instead of me. Thanks Girls for all your help (this includes us older ones as well) We are all girls first.

 

[Billings]

Well thank you Bulkarn. Now I must find out when your BD is
