"I am trying to open the pattern for "Sweetie Baby Knit Pixie" and get the message "Safari cannot find server". Is this my problem, Safari's problem, or Allfree's problem? Is there somewhere else I can find this pattern?"

"The materials list rather clearly states that you need Caron Big Donut OGo, in the quantities listed for each size. all available colours can be found near the bottom of the page here-https//www.yarnspirations.com/082021-blog-ogo == -introducing-caron-big-donut.html"

"In knitting you always follow stitch patterns consecutively, unless the pattern states otherwise. So, row 4 will be row 4, no matter where you are in the sequence. For example if it is a 23 row sequence, row 4 will be worked on rows 4, 8,12, 16, 20, for the repeat of the sequence you will do this as many times as the pattern instructs you to. This is how patterns are followed, not specific to this pattern since you mentioned starting the back and the instructions you are confused about and provided information that is not found in the back bodice instructions as published here. Hope this helps, happy knitting!"

"Thank you for the clarification. On the Caron website it said "Everything you need to make your new project is included in this kit!", so I did not investigate further, not only because I dislike the color combo but also because I am not particularly fond of knitting with acrylics. Usually I work with natural yarns and select color combinations according to my taste and wardrobe. -)"

"Hi I would love to knit this but when I try to open the pattern I get an error code."

Whether you've been knitting for a few months or you're a seasoned vet, you've clearly found a hobby that you fell in love with. Do you knit just for the heck of it or do you know the history behind it? Carol J. Sulcoski has written a beautiful book, Knitting Ephemera: A Compendium of Articles, Useful and Otherwise, for the Edification and Amusement of the Handknitter. Yes, this title is a mouthful, but she brings her wealth of experience and fascination with random factoids to yarny anecdotes.


Knitting Ephemera is a fun book of trivia and facts for knitting enthusiasts alike. With hundreds of entries, this book covers everything from history, literature, folklore and pop culture about wool, sheep and fiber producers. You'll learn tricks and tips on spinning, weaving and crochet; this book will easily entertain knitters and purlers no matter what your skill level.


This 136-page book is on the smaller side, so it's perfect to travel with and read on the go. It also comes with a beautiful ribbon on the inside to bookmark your page, making it easy to continue where you left off. Did you know there are more sheep than people in Australia or that you can burn 102 calories per hour while knitting? These are the kind of fun facts you can learn in Knitting Ephemera.


I was quite entertained while turning the pages in this book. From the fun facts and history to learn about, to the funny jokes and fiber-related bumper stickers, I was constantly finding myself turning the page. If you're a history buff or love knitting then you're going to love this book.

This looks like a fascinating book for anyone who is interested in the long complex history of knitting or other fiber arts. Have you ever wondered about the first person who picked up a piece of string and a couple of sticks or a hook and started on the very first blanket for their household?
