I love my new machine - the Huskystar 224. Finally got round to powering up, winding on and threading it up on the weekend and it hummms! I got stuck straight into Charlie's quilt and was loving it so much I missed Knit Rangers - what a womble. I'll show you pictures soon as it's finished but just had to annouce the pure pleasure of sewing with a decent machine. I didn't realise what a pig my grandma's Janome had been all this time! Suddenly my fabric pile takes on a whole new shine.
I also saw several people over the last week wearing their beloved castingontrouble handknits - Lara wore her fetching knitted flowers gathered on her shirt - something I'd never considered but it looked great; and Lily made her entrance in her cosy jumper - she was swimming a bit but I'm sure she will fit it in time. It's so nice to see that people do appreciate things you handcraft!
