The work of Christy Wittmer

Enjoyed seeing work at the CAC last weekend.  They were showing graduate work 

from the University of Cincinnati.  I especially enjoyed the works by

Christy Wittmer.

Getting over a Springtime cold.  Jace is finishing up the semester.

Plans to see Threads of Heaven: Silken Legacy of China’s Last Dynasty

at the Taft this weekend.

 Enjoying domesticity (as usual).

Ugh

New front carriage for the knit machine will run be $200.  Maybe I will try to fiddle with my broken one first.

:(

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.

I think this is my first winter where I have anticipation

for the Spring.
