Well, damp and early I finished loading my car…sweaters, knitting machines, some promo stuff, extension cord at the last minute, some old mags that the ladies might like to dig through…and hit the road at 9am….of course half way through New Hampshire I realized I hadn’t packed mylar sheets for the electronic machine…maybe Edith –…
Off to Toronto tomorrow to be a part of the Just for Us Originals show at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga. It will be another great weekend staying with my friend Sonja who is also at the show with her unique knits. It’s great how two women can enjoy and pursue machine knitting designing…
Just after I finished editing and putting out my latest tutorial video I wondered where my first video was. I used to carry it around in my laptop bag and play it at shows, it’s 13 minutes of an overview of making a sweater in my studio on my knitting machine. Well, I found it…
