I have joined Raverly, Nikki said it was cool and she put me on the list...she is right, it is cool.
I have found groups for the knitting machine, the RV knitters ( I used to have the cool magnet but Madison the eat everything puppy, chewed it up) I found a group of law enforcement people who knit and a group for the bond machine I also have. My name there is Sockmachinelady if you need to find me, my picture is Bailey, my bunny.
I love the CSM, or circular sock machine group, they are very helpful with some of the issues I have knitting on the very old machine.
I have been very good this year and have asked Santa for a new computer before this old one with
Windows 98 crashes, so I hope to have some pictures on my blog as soon as he stops buy :-)

Circular knitting machine
My friend and I had a nice class....we are CSM knitters now! Our socks now have heels and toes.
I made one, my friend made the other one. This sock machine is so cool!

Antique circular knitting machine
My friend and I have just returned from SAFF and fiber overload. We had a great time!
We both took classes, she took a dyeing class and a cast on class, I took The Shepard's Rug class and a loom class. We both learned new things and made new friends. We saw lots of great fiber and yarns, she did all the shopping though, I only bought one thing.......I got an Auto knitter CSM, or circular sock machine. We saw the lady using it and I was hooked! The perfect thing for the knitter who doesn't knit!!!! It now lives here with me, willed to my friend of course since she talked me into it, (not really, but a little peer pressure helps). Now all I have to do is figure out how to use it. I have spent many hours reading blogs of folks that have them, (Soxophone player guy, you rock)! It came with a class and my friend and I are NC bound in the morning to learn how to make a heel and toe. I enjoy making tubes, which is all I can do at this point, but they are nice tubes. If anyone has one and sees this blog, please let me know, as I am the only one I know so far. I will post pictures soon.
Next stop- Maryland Sheep and Wool in May!!!!
