Knitting Machine

I have an sk700 knitting machine since the mid 80's and just now getting back to using it. I've had to send my carriage in for repair, so while I am waiting, I am trying to relearn everything that I have forgotten, which is a whole darn lot. I can't even remember how to cast on with it.

So I am using the lace carriage, learning to cast on, and trying to relearn everything! Makes me mad, because at one time I made sweaters and sold them. I still have the patterns, but darned if I know how to do them anymore. lol.

So when I have relearned it all. I will post a few free patterns here. Or anyway that is what I am planning on doing.

Heaven needed another angel

Heaven needed another angel, and our exchange leader Diane Focht answered the call at 4am today. We will miss her very very much, as she was a dear friend and sister to us all.

I've known Diane a long time over 12 years, she always just jumped in when I needed some extra help on the list. Or if I needed a shoulder to cry on, I will miss her so very very much.
