Acquisitions
The Yarnia store in Portland, OR is closing but you can still order online. I bought this fingerless glove kit. Only mine was $15 due to the fiber content I chose.
Hand Knitting
Felted Clogs knit with Lion Brand Fisherman wool yarn.
I am going to make Peekaboo Mitts by Pensive Frog Designs for my grandson.
Machine Knitting
Socks for my friend, Mike. I used Lana Grossa Meilenweit “MEN” yarn color 1609. I sprayed them with Febreze.
I forgot to talk about the second pair of socks I made on my Legare. Probably because I ended up frogging those also.
Resources
Watch the Kamalini Trentham machine knitting videos on YouTube.
Vegemetarianism
I cook corn on the cob unshucked in the microwave for 2 minutes per ear.
I boil green beans in plenty of salted water for five minutes and then I sock them in ice water to stop the cooking.
