Why are my feet cold when I go to bed even though I am covered with blankets? I always have to wear socks!?

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Almost every night I bundle myself up with blankets and by the time I get comfortable I have to get up to put on some socks because my feet get really cold! The rest of my body is warm but my feet are freezing.

It sounds a lot like me….the problem is lack of circulation, or it could also be thin blood. When the blood is thiner it takes a longer time to travel through the body…I take a baby asprin…it helps some but not much…if this intrigues you..see if your bllod preasure is also low, well lower than normal

How much would you pay for a "one-hour fleece blanket"?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

I have started making these blankets and would like to sell them on eBay. It takes me about an hour and a half to make it if I work non-stop. Would you buy one and how much would you be willing to pay?
Email me for a picture of the blanket.

It would depend of the size. I make them myself. The materials cost plus $10.00 per hour sounds fair to me. Just be careful someone doesn’t report you fro spam.

It looks like a buch of circles sewen together, but you can still see through the holes. please help!

It sounds like a afghan made of "Granny Squares." You will have to find someone who will make you one & that shouldn’t be too hard to do.

Can anyone give me a knitting pattern for a Winnie the pooh baby blanket?

Friday, October 16th, 2009

My cousin is having a Winnie the Pooh theme for her nursery/baby shower and I really wanted to knit her a baby blanket but I can’t find a good pattern. It has to be remotely easy since I haven’t been knitting that long, but I’ll try anything. Thanks in advance!

http://ca.geocities.com/alibeee/ClassicPooh.html that site will give you the charts of pooh bear. but to use a chart you need to know how to knit with a bunch of colors at the same time. sounds confusing but really isnt, i picked up on it in like a day. I would suggest making the blanket in panels or squares to make it easier on yourself, well in actuality its really the only way to do it. just add like 10 or more stitches to the sides in the main color of your blanket when you do the pooh bear square. it wont look so weird that way. Hope this helps. if you have more questions feel free to email me.

Does anyone know where I can find a free pattern and directions for a crochet prayer afghan or throw blanket?

Thursday, October 15th, 2009


Lion Brand’s site had a free prayer shawl pattern. It uses four skeins of homespun. Sounds like a lot, but it works up pretty quickly.

lionbrandyarn.com

Update: I used Lion Brand’s "pattern finder" and searched for "prayer afghan" and a free pattern did come up.

How many stitches in width do I need to knit a baby blanket on a 14" needle?

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

I have about 170 stitches on a 14" knitting needle. Do I need any more to make a decent width for a baby blanket? How long in width may it be after I am finished knitting and it is removed from the needle?

It will depend on the thickness of your yarn and the gauge of the needle although it sounds a lot of stitches..

I suggest you look at patterns on the following sites to get a better idea of size as most of them have pictures:

http://www.knittingonthenet.com/babyblankets.htm
http://home.howstuffworks.com/free-knitting-patterns-for-baby-blankets.htm

Hope this helps. Good luck.
