A few years ago I posted a couple of YouTube videos of my new Erlbacher circular sock machine (CSM). I just got it and I was sooo excited. I posted the videos both in English and Spanish.

One of the most important types of knitting is ribbing. Ribbing is used to create elastics for knitted garments.

GOODBYE TO 2018 AND HAPPY NEW KNITTING YEAR!
GOODBYE TO 2018 Another year ends, 2018 was full of projects and lots and lots of knitting. However, I didn’t achieve nearly as much as I wished. In fact, it looks like I have less and less time each year. Life gets in the way, but I refuse to let it be that way. IContinue reading “GOODBYE TO 2018 AND HAPPY NEW KNITTING YEAR!”
