[edit] Knitting pictures

I see that you're the originator of Image:Howtoknit.jpg. Do you still have the original lying around? There are two errors in the captioning: where you say "clockwise", it should read "counter-clockwise", and everywhere you write "stich" it should be "stitch". I'd edit it myself (and may yet do so), but it'll be easier to make the fonts and such match up if you do it. ;) /blahedo (t) 04:44, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Nice on the purl pictures. I'm actually right this moment uploading some pix of how to knit English-style, at which point I'll probably move your pictures over to a (new) Continental-style page, and it's nice that both are there. As regards clockwise-ness, I'm looking at the picture and I still see CCW, but I think I see where the confusion is. I look at the motion my hand makes to make the stitch, and I look at my hand palm-down, and it moves CCW. If I make the same exact motion but hold the needles so that I'm looking up at my palm, the same exact motion now appears to be clockwise. I don't have any good solution to this, especially not one that will fit into a one- or two-word blurb under a picture! Any ideas? /blahedo (t) 04:45, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Spinning wheel

Thank you for your edits in the spinning wheel article. You seem very knowledgeable abut the subject and perhaps you could direct me to a book title, a journal or a dependable websites to add in the "external links" and "references" section so that the casual reader may have the benefit of extended reading in case she/he develops an attachment to the subject. This is just a request therefore there is no hurry to do so; I would appreciate it if the reader was guided to a wealth of additional reading material.

My compliments and best wishes!

[edit] Hello

Hello Loggie,

I am a new user on Wikipedia. I have recently contributed an article called “Seam types” that is about seam types within the apparel industry. I noticed that you’ve contributed to the Textile Manufacturing Terminology page as well as the Textile Manufacturing page. I was wondering if you would take a look at my article and add any information you might have about the topic or advise in ways it could improve.

It was nice to read about you, looking forward to your reply.

Thank you, Snap pea 05:02, 18 October 2007 (UTC)Snap_PeaSnap pea 05:02, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wilson Yarn Clearer

You deleted material (not mine) on the above from textile manufacturing, and rightly so. It gave much too much detail to be approriate to a general article. As you said, it belonged somewhere. I have accordingly forked it into a new article. See my comments on its talk page. You may wish to take this further. I am not expert in the subject. Peterkingiron 18:08, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I actually know nothing about yarn cleaners, and only a bit about the mechanized process of making yarn, though I know all about doing so by hand. I've done a spellcheck on the article, and I can start trying to wikify it, but other than that I'm not sure what to do with it. Loggie 22:22, 28 October 2007 (UTC) - Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Peterkingiron"

I agree that it is a problem. I think we must merely hope there is some one out there who does know about it. Perhaps we should look for the author of this passage. Peterkingiron 22:27, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I also concluded the author was Pwilon. Peterkingiron 23:04, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Velcro

Can you please use some more references for this article. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 09:43, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I suppose I can look for some- my recent (only) edit to the article was just to clean up a reference that someone else added. However I don't have access to any non-online references currently. Loggie (talk) 09:56, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I added some more references, among other things. Look good? Loggie (talk) 21:07, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. This improves the article. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 17:50, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

If you can think of something else to add info on, with a few more paragraphs we could get to a 5x expansion. Loggie (talk) 17:59, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your lace articles

In case you don't see my response at my Talkpage, let me say here on yours, thank you for noticing ! I was careful not to make changes in the meaning, as I know nothing in this field. I did know J-F Regnard, though! But Brussels lace calls out for your attention.--Wetman (talk) 17:55, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 5/15 DYK

On 15 May 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Velcro, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Prod

Most of your questions can be answered at the prod policy page, WP:PROD. If any user removes a prod tag for any reason (unless it's blatant vandalism like blanking the page or something), then the prod is considered contested and the tag should not be reinserted into the article. If you still think the article should be deleted, you can take it through the AFD process where an actual debate can take place and the deletion of the article can be more thoroughly enforced. Thanks. --Closedmouth (talk) 07:50, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] pics

Its only a suggestion. There must be old pics in books I would have thought or you might have some that would fit in a scanner. Hope this helps Victuallers (talk) 14:59, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I went to see if I could find any free use pifcs you could use. Are any of these of use? Victuallers (talk) 15:05, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Most of those seem to be knitted lace, with some crocheted too. Not much bobbin lace sadly, and of the ones that are bobbin lace, I haven't seen a picture that would apply here. Loggie (talk) 15:14, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for your edits on Indian coracles article. Can you think of a good DYK hook for this? Cheers Wiki San Roze ^†αLҝ 21:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I found the article off the DYK page, where it had already been nominated with the hook "...that Indian coracles, which take only about a day to build, are one of the major tourist attractions on the Kaveri River?" If it weren't for the fact that someone nominated it, I wouldn't have stumbled across it. And thank you to you for not minding all my comments and tweaks. Loggie (talk) 21:26, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh OK! I did ask John Carter too. Didn't realise he would have already done that. BTW, I really thought that your comments were constructive and so were your edits. I surely don't own that article. Wiki San Roze ^†αLҝ 21:34, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, saying thanks doesn't hurt, and some people can be touchy about their brand new article, especially since I suggested a name change and everything. Loggie (talk) 21:49, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

--BorgQueen (talk) 13:10, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for creating this article. I am SHOCKED that there was no coverage of such a basic topic. Mangostar (talk) 16:47, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

My aim is to please. I was pretty surprised too when I went to link to it and found there was no article about it. Thanks for the recognition, Loggie (talk) 19:21, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Great work

You've been doing some terrific work on textiles, especially on lace. Thanks! - PKM (talk) 16:23, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank-you for noticing, and the compliment. Creating all those red-linked articles in the lace template should keep off the streets for awhile, no? Loggie (talk) 19:15, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] BP Pedestrian Bridge

Thanks for the editorial assistance. We are thinking about a WP:FT drive for Millennium Park so your kind of assistance would also be useful on Crown Fountain, Jay Pritzker Pavilion and Lurie Garden. Cloud Gate and Millennium Park are getting close to a level where your assistance would be helpful as well.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 07:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I went through Crown Fountain and Millennium Park, if I get a chance I'll give the others a look too. I'm currently preparing to go on vacation for awhile, so we'll see. If I had more time, I'd try and rearrange things in the articles-the current flow isn't optimal: occasionally there are paragraphs with three topics and no bridge between them, for example. Loggie (talk) 09:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey, just wanted to pop in real fast to say thanks for taking a look at Cloud Gate and cleaning it up a bit! Torsodog (talk) 08:31, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

FYI, [[Month DD]][[YYYY]] automatically produces a comma. You don't need to add one.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 13:55, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lurie Garden

Hopefully, pictures will be up today or tomorrow about the boardwalk. Thanks for the help.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 22:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] McCormick Tribune Ice Rink

McCormick Tribune Ice Rink is now up. Take a look. I don't know if you like politics, but I could use some eyes on Jack Kemp which I hope to renominate at WP:FAC later this month.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 00:08, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Millennium Park

Wrigley Square is now up. As our star editor, what would you think of adding an appropriate paragraph for the new articles within the Millennium Park overview.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 20:05, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Now we have Cloud Gate, BP Pedestrian Bridge, Lurie Garden, McCormick Tribune Ice Rink, Wrigley Square and Harris Theater (Chicago) all in the WP:GAC queue. The latter ones could use some more beef. Let me know if you can find anything to help out, because they are kind of borderline.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:59, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 6/5 DYK

On 5 June 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Heckling comb, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

You can follow along at WP:CHIFTD, McCormick Tribune Ice Rink just got promoted.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:53, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I hope your travels are going well. Just letting you know I appreciate your efforts and new articles are up at WP:CHIFTD.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 23:12, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
