Contribute a Photo for our Gallery
There are a few ways to submit a photo for our site. Here’s what we recommend and prefer: Send each image, individually, by email as an attachment. Put the image’s title in the subject line and a description and tags (keywords) in the body of the message. Then - please - be patient while we review each image before it is added to the Gallery.

Replace or delete all of the capitalized text, and don’t forget to attach the image file!

A member here posted info about Dressew, a source of yarn at $1.99 a ball — an amazing place! I’d like to follow up on that with a request for Vancouver, BC forum members. In 2007 I purchased, from Dressew, several 1-lb balls of Red Heart Comfort acrylic yarn they had for sale — they buy up manufacturers’ lots, so only had three shades in that size/weight. Now I have run short of one colour, COL 3190 (Heather Plum, I believe) and am stuck with a 3/4-done afghan … I’d be interested to hear if any knitters on the forum purchased any quantity of this particular yarn, and have some unused left in their stash. Thanks, wordstem@yahoo.ca
