Hiatus


After the holidays I spent some frustrating time on the knit machine.  For some reason, the machine works everywhere, except the far left side.  Stitches are piling up on the needles.  I have done some troubleshooting without finding the source of the problem.  It appears to be a tension issue, but altering the tension and the weights hasn't had any affect.

Any time I experience such extreme frustration (which is frequent!) I move on to a different project that I know I can handle.  So, I have been sewing.  Nothing exciting, taking in jackets, hemming pants, general stuff that I know I can accomplish, thus removing my sense of helplessness with the knit machine.  It isn't the most fun work, but I finish off a few projects and feel like I have accomplished something.

As I am ending my sewing projects I know I will be returning to the machine.

Jace's Spring Break this week.  We waited all day for a package to arrive. 

Packages are here.  It's oyster time.
