mrsladybird @mrsladybird (13) • Canada 14 Feb 07

mrsladybird My cats drive me crazy sometimes too! We have two of them, and they're fully grown on the outside but bigtime kittens on the inside!!! They will knock over any glass of liquid that's left anywhere, I have no idea why. I've seen them do it, they just get their...

LiveJournal

mrsladybird @mrsladybird (13) • Canada 14 Feb 07

Does anyone maintain communities on LJ? I think it would be neat to be a community maintainer, but I wouldn't know what to make one about or how to get people to join. Any suggestions?

drama queens...

itsjustmeb @itsjustmeb (1212) • Canada 13 Jan 07

How do you politely tell a bunch of online drama queens to get a life? I was involved in some online drama FOUR DAYS AGO, I walked away FOUR DAYS AGO, and this bunch of girls are still at it? And these are supposed to be people...

mrsladybird I think a lot of it is the anonymity of the Internet. I'm sure these girls aren't nearly as outspoken, catty or brave in real life. It's a lot easier to say what's on your mind through a keyboard than it is to someone's face, isn't it??

For those of you who have online journals

itsjustmeb @itsjustmeb (1212) • Canada 24 Jan 07

such as through Blogger.com, Livejournal.com, Greatestjournal.com etc... How many people on your friends list do you actually trust? Do you use the various filtering options such as filtering out certain people that you don't...

mrsladybird Yes, I have a LiveJournal and I have filters set up there. Sometimes I'll post things that I just don't want people I know in real life to read, or sometimes I just trust the people I've known on there longer. Also, if there's a potential to offend someone...

starr4all @starr4all (2863) 28 Dec 06

mrsladybird I've had a LiveJournal account for over 5 years now (I can't believe it's been that long!!) I started it mainly to keep in touch with people I knew in real life, but I've made some great friends over the years. I've met several people in real life that I met...

Kntting with different "yarn"

peavey @peavey (16936) • United States 7 Feb 07

Does anyone ever knit with unusual "yarn"? I mean "yarn," like string or fine wire or material or plastic strips. I've tried using string and material strips and I'm contemplating - don't laugh now - knitting a screen of florist's...

Circular versus "Straight" Knitting?

friendthegirl @friendthegirl (38) • United States 7 Feb 07

Which do you prefer? Now that I've been knitting for a few years, I much prefer knitting in the round, because there tend to be less seams. I love knitting, but I hate the finishing.

mrsladybird I'm exactly the same way! I love knitting but hate sewing up seams, I find I'm so bad at it that it tends to ruin the project for me!! I love knitting on circular needles, even for things that won't be seamed, like an afghan that I'm currently working on....

Where do you find knitting patterns?

KerriMarie @KerriMarie (151) • United States 1 Feb 07

What is your favorite place to find knitting patterns? Do you make up patterns as you go, buy books, or use online patterns? Do you use patterns that come with the yarn? I mostly use online patterns - knitty and magknits are...

mrsladybird In the past I have used my mom's old patterns for knitting things. Often times for Christmas or my birthday I will find a pattern I like, and ask for both the pattern and the yarn to make the project to go with it. I'm currently working on an afghan that was...

When and how did you learn to knit?

cutepenguin @cutepenguin (6431) • Canada 9 Feb 07

My aunt taught me when I was little, and I forgot and was retaught as a teenager. I made a ton of slippers and half of a blanket, and forgot again. It's sort of like riding a bicycle though, because I managed to teach myself...

mrsladybird My mom taught me how to knit when I was quite young. 5-6 years old probably. I remember how terrible my work was back then!! I still love knitting now, and while I don't necessarily make the most challenging things I do make lots of things. My current...
