Pam, I have found that if you tighten them using something rubbery... like a piece of old rubber glove, some shelf liner, or the like, that they will not unscrew. Be sure to use the little tool in ...

Have a question that doesn't fit into any of the other categories?

I would recommend both of those ideas... in fact a felted bag really isn't too hard until you get to the mitered bottom... just knit in the round. --S

About Me:
I am not an old knitter, but it seems like all I do is knit or think about knitting. My signature thing used to be a pair of socks or a wrap, but at this point in time, I have so many different things, that I find it a bit scarey I've knitted everything from scarves to sweaters (both dog and human), a purse or two and most of my items are original -- i.e. I use a basic pattern and changed the design or method to suite my skills.

I DO love knitting, and love offering encouragement to others who think their skills are limited, or are afraid to go to the next thing.

Happy Knitting to everyone!

Onward to my Christmas Knitting - all of the baby shower stuff is done

Well, I finished the BSJ yesterday... today I finished a hat to go with the BSJ, a burp cloth (knit from Simply Cotton), and I found a blanket that I knit a couple of years ago, but never got to gift it - my early knitting (not perfect, but super soft.

Susan, I think the bulky cotton will be wonderful. All year round use, that will be. I used the knit back backwards on the edging of a round baby blanket. (Pics are on here, I think.) There are some You-Tube videos of the process. You might not be bothered by turning your work as much as I was. :) Plus, at the beginning of yours- it will be small and lightweight. Towards the end it will be harder. Well, maybe it won't! Do you attach the rows as you go, or sew it all together later? I didn't read that far into the pattern.

I think creams, reds and browns will be really pretty. That is what my SIL did most of her house in. I have a quilt in progress of those colors. I'll have to post a pic of that sometime. The new nephew-to-be's room is blue, cream and chocolate brown. That was fun to see yesterday.

Susan, that will be such a cute baby blanket!! I love that pattern. Have you considered trying to knit back backwards? So you don't have to turn the work so often? Would be a really good one to try that out. Or purl back, I guess, since it looks like garter stitch. What weight/fiber of yarn were you thinking about? A self striping would be really great. -PSue
