If one doesn't mind spending a bit (about $100-150) you can get just about
anything from House of Canes in Grants Pass, OR. www.houseofcanes.com or call
Kay at 1-800-458-5920. I have needed a cane for years (since my early 30s) and
wanted something a bit more stylish than what one could find
Hi all,
I've already spent ages looking for one very simple celtic knotwork embroidery
pattern (.hus, .pes and other embroidery formats), and this list is probably my
last chance. Does anyone by accident know where to purchase this style of
endless embroidery?
I am pleased to announce that I have a new baby - no, a new pattern! (I've
been babysitting far too much lately!)

I have encountered several similar problems and found out a good solution which
I very frequently use when I want a tight-fitting sleeve but a good range of
