Guess what I just made?
When it works, I really love that knitting machine of mine. After dragging on with those mittens for a couple of days I needed some instant gratification, so I decided to get acquainted with my knitting machine again. After trying a lace pattern a few times and not getting the desired results, I decided to give fair isles a try and guess what, it was a lot faster than the lace. Look what I can do:
It is so nice being able to do this so fast and especially so even without having to worry about the tension. This blanket is 180 stitches wide and 330 rows long. I still have to put the border around it and make it look nice and then I can give it to my neighbor. I also like it that the strings in the back are short enough that I don't have to worry about little fingers or anything else getting snagged in it and pulling on it. Wow, now if I can only figure out how to make Christmas stockings like this, I'll be set. Karin, any suggestions?

That's about the size of a body (~330 sts x ~180 rows). Now how long did that take you? ::: Groan ::: I'm too old to learn new things!
I'm amazed at how quick that turned out, and lovely too!
That's very nice! Hmm... A machine...
Awww, man!!! I need to get myself one of those. What kind do you have? How big is it? Could you be so kind as to post a picture? I'm so jealous you can just crank that stuff out. It's beautiful!
Hey Baby, ich hab im Mont nicht viel Zeit für Suggestionen... Vielleicht nächste Woche... Weihnachtssocken für Strim? Anleitung schreiben? Mal gucken....
LG von der hippeligen Karin
