    I started knitting again last Jan(after over 11years absence!) I love it, haven't crocheted yet, need to get better at the knitting first.

    I found this site for some tutorial videos for crochet Happy

    Amy- If you go to the projects page, there was a great one posted on how to make a holly broach for christmas, from beads and earring backs!
    The difference between purl and knit is that you put the needle through the stitch on different sides, basically. I found about.com's knitting section very helpful, if you need it Happy

    Sorry Reneé! We posted the same time lol
    Your project sounds cool, I wanted something like that, but the only ones I found were really advanced.
    I was looking at a pattern for a knitted hood, it looks so lovely, but the tassles were cabled and I haven't done that yet eeek

    Thank you Happy I was debating whether or not to keep it hehe I'll give it to her though Happy

    It is moss stitch, I really like it and it's a really easy sequence to remember. Works with multiples of two stitches
    row 1 and 2 knit 1, purl 1 across
    row 3 and 4 purl 1, knit 1 across, repeat for however long you wish Happy I got the stitch from about.com knitting section

    I am a fan of My Chemical Romance and the singer Gerard Way just wrote his first comic, he has a history in comics and went to art school in New York, I haven't read it yet as I am reading the Buffy at the moment, but it has gotten great reviews. The art is done by Gabriel Ba and cover art by james Jean. "The Umbrella Academy"
    I here that Joss is going to continue on from the last season of Angel in comic form too!! Can't wait

    Yes As everyone is in different places, some will take longer, for me here the last day to post a small card is the 19th Dec, but I suppose it would be best to send them earlier, just incase Happy

    That is so beautiful! My friend is having a baby next year and I am bookmarking every cool kids thing I find!
    Where did you buy the kits, may I ask?

    I made this tshirt. I made the character on this cool Hero Generator http://www.ugo.com/channels/comics/heroMachine2/heromachine2.asp

    Then I printed it out onto transfer paper and ironed it on to my tshirt, but I think some steam got onto the design before it was ready, as it's all blotchy Happy
