new toys
I have a new toy,a fine guage knitting machine to accompany my brother 830 and brother 230.now I need more hours in the day,new sponge bars have been aquired for the brothers-ave not been used for about twelve-fiftenn years so they need a good clean
the new machine is a knitmaster and I have not used knitmaster for a very long time-think 1978!
sad news
have not blogged for a while.we are all so sad,my sisters shepherd bodkin-on the right had to be put to sleep on feb 23,she was four years old and had a tumour on her neck,we thought she was cured,she had it over a year ago,had an operation and we were given the all clear but it regrew,she had radiotherapy to no avail.she is survived by her litter sister button -on the left.

I just love my overlocker,she arrived because I got married and the previous overlocker was shared between my sister and I.she is not so forgiving as the old machine-which is still going strong having arrived approx 1987,as she does like to be set up properly,however the stitch quality is just as perfect as you would expect.
