ok i hav tons and tons of yarn and im sick and tired of finger weaving and braiding. i want to try somthing new. right now my bedroom is too white. i sick of knitting and i never can figure out how to crocht or however u spell it. plz plz help me out here!
Go to www.craftster.org and put YARN in their search box………..
Is it professional enough or is this more for evening? 22 yr. old, graduating with Marketing degree this May, tons of job interviews. Anything from Management Consulting to Pharmaceutical Sales interviews. I have two Tahari’s and I like it; the St. John one seems a little more glam and is a knit, and stretches (does it look too much like sweater, or too casual, or too form fitting?)? Please only answer if you’re familiar with what I’m talking about 
Oh yeah, it’s black, a skirt suit, jacket has one button, and the sleeves have 3 or 4 buttons (those fancy gold tone St. John buttons). More answers please!
St. John suits are fabulous, but I would save them until after you get the job. You want people to remember what will make you a great employee, rather than your suit. Having worked in finance for several years and been both an interviewer and interviewee, I recommend wearing your more conservative suits on interviews. Best of luck!
im just curious because i dont want to walk around like an idiot in the store for a half hour looking

Chinese medicines
Acupuncture is an ancient form of medicine that rooted back eight thousand years from the Taoist tradition. There are ‘nine needles’ used in the practice of acupuncture, each having its own purpose. Initially, the needles were made from bronze, gold, and silver; however, the majority of them are now made from stainless steel. The needles are placed in the acupuncture points which run in different channels each system in the body. Acupuncture points are described as a spot on the body that influences the vital flow of energy through the body.
Herbal medicines has been used in China for cure or many diseases and conditions. Herbs were used for three uses: treat diseases, heal illnesses, and maintain daily life. There are over 300 kinds of herbs that are used commonly. Herbs are known to be safer and more gentle than chemical medicine. Herbs do not have side effects. Herbs used to be taken by tea. Due to the unpleasant smells and taste, people are now more commonly using tablets. More people are now choosing taking medical with herbs than with the chemicals because they are more natural.
Tunia also known as anmo is another type of medical treatment. “Tunia” means “pushing (and) grasping” in modern Chinese. The term “anmo” was used instead of tunia until the Ming dynasty. During a exaction of the Ma Wang Dui tomb (dated 168 BC), medical texts and silk scrolls and bamboo strips were found. There were many of the early anmo techniques on them. The Huangdi Nei Jing is the earliest surviving text of early Chinese medicine. There is information treatment for various disorders and relationships between anmo and acupuncture. Tunia has developed over many dynasties. The Tang often prescribed it for disease prevention. The Song dynasty began to use it for bone fractures and dislocations. The Ming dynasty began pediatric massages. The Qing dynasty is when prominence of folk-art arose and tunia was used for it. Ranges of conditions treated by anmo has expanded to include most branches of medicine in our modern world.
thanks to everyone. you guys are a BIG help. =)
Hi,
I am Chinese…hope this helps…
Starting paragraph is a preview of the main paragraphs you already wrote.
There are many types of ancient Chinese medical treatments. Three popular ones are acupuncture, herbal medicine, and tunia. Overtime, Chinese people have practiced these types of remedies for hundreds of years through many different dynasties. Today, the Chinese and many people all over the world have adopted these treatments and believe they cure illnesses.
Ending paragraph sums up everything
As time changed and evolved into the modern medicinal world, professional people have become experts by using acupuncture, herbs and other types of Chinese traditions that have been used for decades. Many people believe Medical Doctors over drug patients and now people have turned to other methods of treatments and practices that are less toxic on the body. People are looking for natural ways to cure ailments and Chinese people have shared ancient Chinese secrets!
Feel free to change anything but it will give you an idea to start!
I have a kit , but I lost the instructions .
I have knitted before , but I forgot
Does anybody have any EASY instruciotns to knit That ?
Oh , and I don’t know any knitting lingo haha;.
Any hellp ?
Thanxx
I can tell you how to do it mathematically. Use a calculator if needs be; I certainly do.
Measure your cellphone — closed, of course, if yours is a flip-phone. If you don’t like dealing with fractions, use millimeters. (It doesn’t matter if you speak metric, just use the numbers.) Measure around it lengthwise and write it down. Measure around it the other way at its widest part, and write that down.
Now, take the lengthwise measurement and add 30% and write down your answer. Take the girth measurement and divide that in half. (Yes, this is why you write everything down.) Draw a rectangle to fit these measurements — the answers you got when you figured things. Always round up, if any rounding needs to happen. (29.5mm becomes 30, etc)
Now, knit a rectangle that size. Use the gauge on the yarn wrapper to figure out how many stitches to cast on. If your rectangle is to be 3" wide, and your yarn wrapper says you’ll get 6 stitches per inch, obviously you will cast on 18 stitches. If you can’t find the wrapper, measure something else you have already knitted — with roughly the same size yarn and needles — and count the stitches in the measured space.
Once your rectangle is knitted, fold it over and sew it together. Don’t fold it quite in half. Most of that extra 30% you added to the length is a flap. Fold it about 2/5 the way up, so you have 2/5 and 3/5 on either side of your fold. Hold it up to your phone to make sure it fits. Sew up the sides with the same yarn you used and a monster yarn-sewing needle. Starting at the center of the edge of the flap, crochet a loop in plain old chain stitch. Sew it or crochet it to itself at its base. Sew on a button, right where the loop comes down onto the front of the case. Crochet a longer loop, too, if you want to carry the phone in its case.

i have a baby cycle on my machine, but not a wool cycle. and how do i dry them, full spin the on the drying horse, tumble try???
Thanks!
Firstly - DONT tumble dry!!! They’ll be shot to bits.
I think the safest thing would be to hand wash them - or use the hand wash cycle if you have one. It’s laborious and annoying, but it’ll be worth it to keep them nice
I crocheted a slouchy beret (tam I believe?) with worsted weight yarn, but it seems too stiff (simply because of the yarn, I made sure to crochet pretty loosely). Is this all right for this style? Or does anyone know how I could soften the hat up?
you mean less stiff, right? or actually softer? to soften it, soak it in water and conditioner for a little while. if it’s acrylic, you’re sort of out of luck there.
to make it more slouchy, i always dampen it and stretch it across a plate overnight (or until dry). it works like a charm.
The innovations knitting machine creates tubes or 17" flat panels. The instructions also say it can create socks but I’m not sure I can see how. Has anyone done this successfully?
The innovations cannot really create socks unless you want to use wool and felt them. Some have done that. Otherwise the tubes are way to big.
Now you could do smaller panels, which is possible on this machine, then just seam them, but they would be tube socks. The chance of dropping stitches trying to do heels is very great and very frustrating.
I know the box says socks, but that is just not something easily done on the machine. I have two of these machines, and mostly use them to do hats, and scarves. The company steps beyond itself in these claims in my opinion.
The machine does have a steep learning curve and I would not recommend it for children, though it is sold as a children’s toy, because of the curve to learn on it. It is not a set up and just use product as there is some learning to be done to handle the machine right. Then the instructions for picking up dropped stitches, as of the last time someone mentioned them, were totally wrong, and other techniques that we are inventing are not in the instructions from the company.
If you should decide on this machine I would suggest checking out groups, such as the one listed in the source section. We have several people coming up with new stuff all the time.
Also be sure to check out some of the youtube videos on this machine. There are several good ones, including casting on, casting on using waste yarn, casting off using waste, finishing, picking up dropped stitches, and how to use less needles for a flat panel.
These machines really are great for mass produced hats and scarves, and panels for afghans, but somethings just are harder to do on them. Not that people are not trying to get around the limits and at times having great success, but it is work.
Patterns just are not available so everyone makes up their own. Maybe soon we will see more becoming available.
