WHAT?????

I, uh, had the brilliant idea of enrolling in two studio art classes this
semester, so the knitting is going V E R Y slowly. I have "finished" half a
(long knee) sock on #1 US needles.

Hee hee - sure, why not? It's just that we used to get a really good
list of FO's at the end of each month.

I have two pairs of favourite socks that I knitted that need to be
mended, so maybe I'll do that tonight. ;)

WELL done and welcome

Given that I'm so new here, I don't feel I'm quite entitled to do so, but
here goes:
Velvet evening bag with stump work embroidery (although the chain shoulder
strap still needs to be put on permanently - not sure yet how I'll do that),
Hand tailored blazer from Indian silk, needs button hole and a button and
then to have the tailor's tacks removed,
Cotton knitted T in lace pattern,
Pair of socks.
Currently spinning dog hair (Maremma) with Alpaca to make a Beanie for a
neighbour.

nice striping pattern too.

Well I have but gave them away before I could take picturesG

2 Hats made with a pattern from One-Skein Wonders [101 Yarn-Shop
Favorites] for those that have the book the picture is on page 98
and called Ela's Favorite Hat. The first hat was made with Taos
yarn and the Second with some beautiful di.ve Teseo in blues and
purples colorways.....I gave that on to a dear friend that is going
thru her 3rd round of chemo.....we are co-workers and I have shown
her all my knitting projects and none perked her up until she saw
the Teseo so I gave it to herG

Finished my 4th Baby Surprise Jacket.

Wooly,

Nope, I run them up in 1x1 rib on my Passap Duo80, which is a double-bed
jacquard machine that does ribbing "out of the box", so to speak. I'm
not interested enough in machine knitting to learn how to do fancy
work,and I'm not interested in hand-manipulating stitches to produce
fake lace, either!.

Thanks so much for generously sharing your scarf information! I have
a Brother electronic which came with a lace carriage and a lot of
preprogrammed lace patterns. You knit so many rows with the knitting
"K carriage" and then make passes with the lace "L carriage", which
takes care of transfers, creating the eyelets, so there's very little
hand manipulation as is needed for plastic hobby machines. I was
thinking a simple MK lace pattern repeat in the extremely fine CP Kid
Merino yarn would produce a lacy scarf similar to what is being
requested by the shop owner, though she's open to other scarf types,
like the big needle thinner eyelash scarves that have been popular a
while.

I use my knitting machines for convenience/speed knitting, and for
running yarns I don't like to knit by hand (like cotton blends for
socks). The woman who commissioned the scarves knows she's getting
"hand knit on a machine and finished by hand" because there is simply
not enough time for me to make 10 scarves by hand before Christmas.

So do I :-).

Thanks again.

I've finished 3 knitted neck gaiters, seamans scarf and cabled hat for The
Ships Project
(for the troops overseas - mailing these tomorrow), stilll working on my
paying job (modelstitching)
- and knitting a pair or two of Geisha socks (for my 14-yr old DD) from
Cascase Fixation which
is real fun to work with but I know the socks will fit thanks to the stretch
in the yarn.

(((HUGS!!!))) You definitely have my sympathy! The worst thing about
when I broke my right wrist years ago was the embarassment! Ulricehamn
is "South Sweden's Ski Paradice" so the clinic personnel are pretty
used to the type of injuries one receives on a ski slope. Imagine the
look I got, though, when the nurse asked "ski slopes, huh?" and I
replied "Nah, I was just taking my dog for a pee!"

Get well soon!
