I have finally said I am going to kill my sock yarn stash and make a few socks.  Okay more than a few.  This is not even the half of them so many toes to sew yet.

I have been working on this Tree Jacket forever since last year maybe when it was a project with the Sexy Knitters Kal.  I do love the yarn I am using though Dream In Color Classy, it has to be the one of the best yarns to work with.  As you can see I still have a way to go but someday, oh yes someday.

I have been messing with this Dashing for a while.  I have done 4 gloves total 2 in the yarn shown. Two in others will add the pictures later.  I guess I need to make the other 2 then I will have 3 pair.  The first 2 I did on double points on the pair shown was done on 2 circulars at the same time.

Looking for some 100% wool yarn for scarfs or your sock machine.  This Ebay seller has a nice selection and reasonably prices.  Doesn’t have the stretch of a wool/nylon blend but well work pretty well on your Antique Sock Machine with a 72 cylinder set pretty loose.

Here are a few of my recent purchases:

I have to put all the blame on the lady at Pacific Fabrics next to where I buy my sewing machines.  Okay her and and a momentary facination with an Umbrella Swift.  Now my new sewing machines go unplayed with and fabric stashes are buried under my new yarn stash.  Knitting machines are underated and not widely produced anymore the best place to find one is Ebay.  I have 2 now a standard and bulky, I have started off playing with the bulky one because you can use more widely available worsted weight yarn. Check out my new baby set up and ready to go…
