| WEST JORDAN -- More women--and some men, too-- are turning to knitting or crocheting. It's something meaningful they can do for others without spending a lot of money. At Kamille's knit and crochet shop at Gardner Village, owner Kamille Bauer said their classes have never been so popular. "People will say, 'Where did you buy that? You made that? No way, how did you make that?' And it's really a fun confidence builder," she said. Bauer said people are finding out they can save a lot of money by making a cute beanie, headband, socks, blanket or gloves themselves. But... |

The projects to finish, the work left to do, The presents to wrap, and more cooking, too As aunties and uncles, grandmas and pas and nieces and nephews expect Santa Claus, And husbands lay low, lest they get in the way, and children don't need an excuse to go play, On cookies, on bread dough,... |

| WASHINGTON - Airline passengers will be allowed to carry small scissors and tools onto planes, reversing a rule that led to confiscation of many thousands of sharp objects at airports since the Sept. 11 terror attacks, a Homeland Security Department official said Wednesday. Transportation Security Administration chief Kip Hawley on Friday will announce changes to the list of items prohibited in carry-on luggage and to the airport screening process, according to the official, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because the plan has yet to be announced. With federal air marshals on planes, bulletproof cockpit doors, armed pilots and... |

Vast Right Wing Knitting and Needlework Circle: Baby Stuff

| Baby Stuff. a bootie pattern from 1845. Even those of us who don't regularly do crafts will sometimes find ourselves pulling out the pattern books, looking for materials and patterns for our nieces and nephews, sons, daughters, grandchildren. It can be surprising who does what. Georges Sand the French writer in the 1800s, lady companion of Chopin was married at first to a somewhat boorish, and maybe mildly abusive husband - but when she became pregnant with her daughter Solange, it was he who made the baby things! And what have YOU made for the small fry in your life? |

| Yep, I'm back. Topic for the day: References. What crafting books would you hate to have to give up, that you use regularly? I know we each have our own personal library of best books. As someone who knits socks a lot, I find that Nancy Bush's Folk Socks is extremely useful for its catalog of different heels and toes. Knitting in Plain English is a great book for knitting...and she has a companion book on sweater knitting that is very useful as well. A great reference when you want to make basic patterns is The Knitter's handy book... |
