Knit Natters Saturday

We had a wonderful club meeting with two new people.  I did a Brother demo and Barbara did a DM-80 demo, which is a rare thing.  She had just recently acquired and rehabilitated a DM-80, so she showed everyone that famous triangle card.

We've got growing pains!  We had so much to do this meeting that we didn't get much in the way of photos.  The Knit Natters Yahoo group is very helpful, and Joan Corte has created a roster with contact information to help us stay organized.

Here's a photo of my demo samples.  I did a bunch of hand-manipulated trims which you would either put along an edge, use as an insertion, or apply on top of the knitting.  They lie fairly flat and are interesting looking.  Some of the club members wanted to be able to match the samples to the items on the instruction sheet, so I said I'd post a photo here.  If you start on the right, that's the ruched bars, then moving leftward, there are the ruched hearts, then the long tucked trim, then the dainty trim, then the small twisted trim, then the jerked trim, then the small jerked trim, then the eyelet bias trim, and finally, the chevron trim.  The blue and green samples were done on my bulky machine and the tiny white samples, on Barbara's standard gauge at club.
