Replies and Things

I thought I'd better let people who are leaving questions for me in the blog comments know that I do try and reply to everyone who is asking about a pattern or project from this website, or about my book etc. I reply privately so that I know the person who asks the question sees the answer which is why you don't see my replies in the blog comments.

I have about a zillion things I wish I had time to post about and hope to get to the interesting ones once Charlie and I have some sort of established routine. I've never breast-fed a baby before so I don't know when that will be (Sorry if that was too much information, lol) :P

Topics include:

Sewing for baby boys - things I have made and learning to draft a pair of simple baby pants

The year of the toy - I have many vintage sewing and knitting patterns to share! I'm pretty sure they date from the 1930's to the 1950's so I can put the patterns online.

Oya and Armenian needle lace - I have some amazing book-finds to tell you about

And I want to see if I can find at least an hour a day to update the website with all the things that have been pending for far too long. That will take longer to work out, I'm sure. I also might redesign the home page into a smaller number of topics, for example: Sewing - with a list of the sewing related topics underneath, rather than each topic having a separate thumbnail. We'll see how I go anyway...

I am interested in making the psychedelic square afghan posted on ravelry. I love it! Can you tell me what the reverse side looks like?

Sarah,
Congratulations on the baby! There is just something special about the bond between a mother and her son, especially one you have nursed. My baby is 29, so it's been a while.
I was thrilled to see your rag rug loom. I had seen a picture of 2 old rug looms on the Rag Rug Makers Exchange, and decided to make one for myself, using the idea presented there for the tension devise which consisted of a clamping device to hold the threads taut, it's been a dismal failure. Your solid wood piece with the V-slots made so much more sense, especially as you wrap the yarn to hold it tight. I would like to know if you could send me the measurements for the height and width of the tension device, as I plan to take the one I have off and add one like yours.
I have enjoyed your site for years. But I never realized that you were in Australia.
Again, congrats on the baby, and enjoy the time he is small as it passes too soon.
Diana

Congrats on the baby!
If you have questions about breastfeeding feel free to email me direct.
I wanted to say just how important your website has been to me in the first 3 yrs (just last mo)of my knitting life!
I cannot imagine a weekly search with knitting-and being a part of it all!

WOW GIRL!!!!!! I just found your lace edgings website and I almost cried!
My brother is getting married to a wonderful woman that I am delighted to knit a garter for. No pattern I've found is worthy of this happy day so I'm putting together one! The very first lace edging on your page is exactly what i was looking for except 8x's more beautiful.
Thank you for sharing these priceless patterns.
*sorry to put this comment in such an odd place, but the website was disabled for comments due to spam*
THANK YOU!

Hi Sarah,

I found your website over a year ago, and am astounded at the wealth of patterns! I love them!! There is one in particular which I adore, and it is one that you haven't linked yet - the end of the URL is 'mittens with hearts' - does that ring a bell?
I thought maybe after a year I should just write you and see if there is any chance of getting that pattern...

I understand if things are baby centered, and will not be hurt if you don't reply. Hope you are having a lovely time with your little one.

Many thanks for sharing,

Jaige
