The Creative Castle

Today was knitting machine group day. I managed to get the machine together, cleaned & (with the help of Karen) working. We knitted a small swatch, but it was large enough to confirm that the machine can knit. The ribber attachment is going to need some work (read: replace the unit itself or all the needles; whichever works out cheaper).

My Ebay machine still hasn't come, but I guess the reg. UPS delivery is slow. Will contact the seller for a tracking # so I can at least feel better
knowing that it's made some progress getting here; sigh.

The 1st pic. is one of Gran's knitting machine all set up. I'm making the "Turret" a knitting sanctuary with an Asian theme if you're wondering why the window frames look 1/2 finished, lol. (Will post a pic of the rm. when it's finished). The 2nd pic. is a view from the Turret where it overlooks the highway & Lk. off in the distance. Should be a pretty nice place to knit when it's all done.

I've also been working on another baby shower gift, more Amis & some mending. Hoping to start a new project; perhaps another mini bead knitted purse. Until then, peace out, Boop.
