New! Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft and Herrschners 2-Ply Afghan palettes - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!

New!  The Herrschner's Worsted Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!

New!  We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn!  If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you.  This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic!  (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)

New!  The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!

Welcome to Stitchboard!  Feel free to sit and stay awhile.  Check out our new Premier features.  In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request!  We have many more features planned, too!  Laughing

The problem still exists. I think nothing happens here. What a pity.

Brenda,

Welcome!  Smile

Yarn choices are a matter of personal preference.  Some prefer wools, others prefer acrylic and many, like you are limited by availability.  (I also live in a yarn desert.  Frown  Feeling your pain!)  So purchasing locally, ordering online...it's your preference!  Smile

Wow!  So awesome you guys are adding all the different yarn / thread pallettes!

Thanks!

Line,

It's not just the money that would be involved in changing things back...it would be more trouble than it's worth.  For instance, to tear the bathroom out, relocate it (where?), restore the downstairs bedroom to part of the living room and to put in a new bay window would be a lot of work...and then the bay window would be facing a garage, so we'd either have to tear out the garage, put the bay window elsewhere (not sure where) or not put in a bay window at all.

Better to leave the changes as is and perhaps add things here and there, like a reading room/tower off of the one bedroom, glass in the front porch and add a wraparound to it, perhaps ultimately extend the master bedroom out over the front porch and make that a glassed-in balcony.  Probably would cost less and definitely would increase the amount of space.

The dining room is kind of a loss.  Someday when we go to sell, we might put in a dining area in the living room or have a really small table in the kitchen, so as not to emphasize the lack of a dining room or area.

Also, our yard is not very big because of the garage.  But a garage is important.  So we would probably emphasize the proximity of a public park within walking distance when we're ready to sell, because there's not much we can do about the lack of yard, either.

It's not a nightmare (other than the tree)...it's decent...but not our dream home, you know?

Ouch, 3.7 miles is a lot of walking outside...I can walk that easily as part of an in-home walking program, but outside when the weather isn't perfect, not for me!  But the idea of walking around in nature is lovely, IMO, and I can't wait to see your pics!  Kiss  Downtown walking is nice for shorter walks.  Nature walking...great for longer walks.  Kiss

Nikki, you've been upgraded!  Smile
