Diary of a knitter.........


Good morning,

Well this morning woke the world with a massive row in our house.....the kids were bickering and my littlest one was going to school early to take part in a class for sat's where he has breakfast at school.....and a little extra help for the next lot of year 6 exams........

My partner is having a shouting fit at my daughter as she lied about having packed her bag the night before but hadn't.......my son for the first time in ....well ever had packed his bag last night and done his homework....You could have knocked me down with a feather!!!

Anyway,the family are all arguing and as for me???

Well there i sat watching and listening to my familly arguing and within a few seconds i had sorted them out,and picked up my needles for an hours knitting......... am attempting the most complicated socks i have ever done..they are beautiful to look at but very difficult to knit and requires some concentration and a half!!!!

Last night i spent two hours on my knitting machine and managed to make 3/4 of a cardigan,but have never knitted with 2 ply so getting the tension has been trial and error every time,my knitting machine never came with any instruction manuals so its been experiment after experiment to get it right....so far i have mastered the ribber atatchment and the main bed....and fairisle and its a case of suck it and see.....I am going to use this blog spot to chronicle my journey through my knitting machine and knitting trials.........................

have managed to use my machine to make....... and enjoyed every moment of it!!!I have decided to place all of my machine knits on the web to sell,they are currently sitting on my page on e-bay,i wanted to place this on to see if it would sell,and to see if it was good enough quality to be noticed.........
well its time to go for the moment,
will talk later.helena.
