Knit Natters

We are meeting at 1:00 at Barbara's house.  Doris is coming by at 12:15 to drive over there.  She'll see the house in a mess, because I've been rushing to put together the Brother demo for today.  My only show-and-tell is the Goldilocks book and DVDs.

I decided to teach some trims made on the main bed at club.  I had to knit them on the bulky because my standard is busy with a mirror-image lace shawl.  I'll do 'em on the standard at Barbara's house, though, and they'll look more delicate and generally better. 

I have done so much editing, packing orders, bookkeeping and good old working (I have a day job!) lately that my knitting coordination is bad this week, but coming back as I worked the trims and the shawl. 

New goal:  knit more, less admin stuff related to knitting.  Maybe, maybe not!  I have gotten addicted to teaching folks to knit.

For club, I used some simple hand-manipulated trims that have been around a while and then I fiddled and came up with about 8 or 9 fresh ones.  (I came up with 8 or 9 new ones that were suitable for the trash, too, which is always how it is.)  I had to type 'em up, too and run copies.  That's my demo for today.

And I'm picking up the Studio machine I'm buying for the purpose of Studio-ifying my enchanted lace edgings.  Exciting, huh?

  1. I am a TOTAL kntting newbie. I want to knit very lightweight stretchy tube tops from cotton, linen or rayon yarns with a knitting machine. What machine would be easy for me to learn on and accomplish this one task? My email address is jujuvxn@gmail.net for any replies.
    Thank you,
    Elisa

  3. It's a Studio 700 with punch card and a lace carriage. Got it at the house now. Now time to play until after the Denver seminar. So sad; need to knit more!
