Florals Part 2

Finished the pillow for my friends' wedding present.

It's really satisfying to see one of my designs physically realized.

Floral Knit

I spent most of the evening repairing old knit work from college

that will be made into a pillow for a friends wedding.

This weekend I went through my cedar chest of fabrics that I 

made in college.  It was really nice to see some of the work

again. 

Productive Weekend or ...?

Make your dog a sweater

New Knit Machine Project

I have completed my fair share of samples on my new

knit machine and it is high time to start a sweater for Jace.

 Picked out the yarns.  I am not 100% happy with the colors I

bought, but the selection at the store I went to wasn't great.

 Then I rolled the yarn into balls and that takes a long time.

*The knit machine manual instructions against this method

of yarn preparation, but I don't have a winder, and I haven't

had any trouble knitting with yarn prepared this way.

The ribber arrived and I have been busy cleaning it, finding a manual for it,

oiling it, setting it up, and knitting a few samples on it to make sure it works.

This is a White knit machine.  I have the same model, it just isn't as clean.  I am in the process of cleaning and oiling it now.  Hopefully I can begin using it soon.  It is a double bed knit machine with jacquard. 

Winter Wish List

 Chill vibes

I have a knitting machine (not the one pictured here) but it isn't up and running yet.  

I just wish I was knitting like these women are...
