Hobbies & Crafts - November 2007

I am interested in taking up quilting to make cat beds, lap blankets and bed quilts etc. I was wondering if there was any reason the Singer Prelude wouldn't work for these things since in my research I saw they have specific machines for quilting.

I'm trying to learn how to knit. I want to make a Christmas present for someone by knitting it for them.
I've got the continental cast-on down pat.....but after that....I just can't seem to get it to work, just yet.

How long did it take you to perfect this?
Was it tricky? Or was it pretty easy - and I'm just not lucky in knitting? =)

I have a design that I want to make into an embroidered patch about 10x10cm with just 2 colours. I need to find a company to make them but the caveat is that I only want to get 20 made. Who will do it? Bonus points for a UK company.

I am looking for a clear set of instructions on how to properly make a polo neck placket with buttons--that is a buttoned opening that only goes part way down the front of the shirt. I've searched the internet with no good results. If you know for sure of a link to this technique, please provide it--OR, if you have experience with this type of placket and can give me step by step instructions, even better! Thanks for any help.

I'm really busy during the week, but over long weekends I'm just SO bored. I'm online alot but I'm sick of the computer. Also, I'm not really that 'crafty' so that eliminated tons of options. Since I can't drive, I can't do anything outside of home. I can't take up an instrument because I won't be able to pracitice/take lessons during the week.
Any suggestions? =/

it says 1998 (obviously when it was made), its got like weird boat thingymajigs on it, on the other side of the coin its says espana(which im presuming its spanish currency).
its got a weird symbol on it
its like a bow with a bendy stick on it. which next to is a straight line. that side of the coin is split in half. half of it is shaded darker than the other side. its a goldyish colour.
now i know it is 1998 but because of the weird symbol i really want to ask how much it is?
