Acquisitions
I ended up buying a blue and a green gauge rule at Distinctive Knits website.
I like to peruse the discussions on the Machine Knitting group on Ravelry. I met Sandy. I’ll publish my interview with her soon.
I added a KG-93 G-carriage, the KC-900 color changer, intarsia carriages for the standard, mid-gauge, and bulky machines, as well as a KG-89 to my studio.
I now have a cone of Yeoman Aurora Wool-way yarn and lots and lots of yarn from Sandy. Sandy came to the US on the Andrea Doria.
Hand Knitting
I signed up for the free Knit-Along 2016: Socks with Lucy Neatby on craftsy.com but I’ve had to switch to a different stitch pattern. I’m now using the one from Hermione’s Everyday Sock.
