McCalls Needlework and Crafts mitten patterns

I had a pattern for mittens that were animals that I knit for my kids.. I would like to knit some for my grandchildren but of course can't find the pattern. I'm sure it came from McCall's Needlework in about 1980, but I'm not absolutly sure of the year. There was a poodle pattern and a cow that I remember. If anyone has one I sure would appreciate hearing from you.

You're not really posting at rctn - this is a cut/paste/link job by those damn forum idiots. I think it is very rude, too bad, so sad nobody on your forum can help. Maybe you should join rctn instead.

Wow. You really have it in for people that don't do your bidding. So what if it is what you say? She wants an answer. This is a needlework site. Maybe someone here has the pattern. Do you purposely want to diss people?

Geesh.

Aha ! Knew that would turn your crank ! On the one hand you complain nobody is using rctn anymore and it was explained to you that FB and Forums have taken their toll.

Well I can tell you that the barefaced 'linking' to forums such as this woman did with the post from her forum, is the single most damaging thing, seen it with several other groups already.

She doesn't ask a by your leave, the woman in the post doesn't know her request is showing up here anymore than Cheryl or I knew that she was taking our posts from rctn and plonking them down on her forum for comment by her members. At the least, it is uncommonly bad manners.

I went to this "forum" this morning. All it is is a set of links to other usenet groups, along with many many advertisements--there is no "group" there to field questions and help each other. Cranky as we can get sometimes, at least we know there is a group of real people here.

Add me to this list of annoyed people. They were posting my notes on their site too and I was wildly upset about it. I sent them a note asking them politely to remove me from their list and when I got no satisfaction, I sent them a rather nasty one demanding that they remove me or I would report them.

I never heard from them again and assumed they did remove me.

All those forums want numbers and this 'linking' is done to make it appear they have those numbers, generally because a prolific forum generates money through advertising.

With one of my usenet groups we were 'linked' and in the end without exception everytime a link cropped up we were rude in the extreme - can you tell how quickly the 'linking' stopped then lol

It was annoying mostly because there was no continuity because half the posters were in effect 'ghosts'. Plus people should not repost peoples posts without at least asking or seeking their permission.

As I said, at best, appalling manners.

This is a post that Lucille wants sent but which won't go through, so she asked me to post it for her.

Sorry for the hiccups. My newsgroup was upset and acting like a cranky toddler.

Give up Dianne and accept that you didn't know squat about forums linking themselves to usenet groups. Are you telling us you approve ? Do you comprehend that the poor woman who wanted advice would never see her post here and would only see any suggestions that the forum idiot condescended to repost over at the forum for her ?

Shows that the forum idiot knows very little, it was after all a knitting question and would do better on a knitting group, whose name I won't suggest in case he/she does not already link to them.

Yes, they've also got a feed of RCTYarn into their "Knitting and other yarn carfts" group. Yes, they really spelled it "carfts".

My feelings on usenet being syndicated via RSS feeds elsewhere is mixed. Sure, on a very basic level these "outside" sites provide a way in which to access RCTN (which might come in handy the more that ISP's drop usenet). People reading through these sites may or may not even know these aren't "local forum" posts but feeds from usenet.

On the other hand, the reasoning behind capturing usenet on these outside websites puts it into grey territory. Really, is it fair for some website to broadcast all of our usenet posts (perhaps not even noting it's an RSS feed but portraying it as their own forum) in order to generate traffic to

*their* website in order to make money off the subsequent advertising that comes from having a high traffic website? Web searches for particular needlework topics aren't going to lead web searchers to "usenet", they're going to lead the searcher to these alternative websites. The higher the traffic they can capture, the more money they make. In my opinion, that's really half a step above stealing if they're doing this specifically to profit off of "our" usenet community unbeknownst to us. Specifically, 52,272 RCTN articles they can profiteer from.

Here's a link that explains it without being too technical:

Good post and link. When this happened to another group we all got so fed up with the dis-jointed posts (a la forum type) with no quotes left in to make reading easy, we requested the forum leader drop the link to us, no success there, and in the end we were just really rude (and in some instances foul-mouthed) about the owner that finally he did sever the link. Peace resumed !

I think mostly what we found troublesome was that most of the forum people were young university students (hardly literate sometimes, quite an eye opener) and they had views that were totally unlike the rest of our group. All they seemed to want to do was talk boozing at the pubs, trashing each other very nastily etc and in really appalling language. There we were, minding our own business, then this invasion. It took about six months to finally be shot of them.

Some of us actually went to his forum, joined up and started directly posting rubbish. He got mad and if he sensed you might be an imposter, he would not allow you to join. The whole thing had it's funny side, it was definitely a war, but we won and were left in peace.

Better fewer posts on rctn that being linked. We should ask, if after all this time there is anybody here, even lurking, who came via the link ? Somehow I doubt it, I agree with the article.

No, I didn't know that was happening. Nor do I understand how that's done or why. That doesn't negate my comment about you based on your comment to me.

Hi, Jinx. I read the article, but I'm still unsure how anyone can make money off of it. Yes, it keeps your ranking up in the search engine. But how does that equate to money, unless it's driving retail customers to your site? I guess I'm just not getting it.
