Summer vibes
This past weekend, inspired by TJ and Amanda's
I planted flowers in our courtyard.
Summer vibes.
Productive spell.
Notice this is a new knit machine, a Studio 700.
Work in progress. Shortly after snapping this picture
I accidentally took off about an inch and a half
of the needles and now I have to re-knit a big chunk
by hand. Break time!

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.
