GOODBYE TO 2018 AND HAPPY NEW KNITTING YEAR!

GOODBYE 2018  Another year ends, 2018 was full of projects and lots and lots of knitting. But, 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. I haveContinueContinue reading “GOODBYE TO 2018 AND HAPPY NEW KNITTING YEAR!”

Vintage Simpleframe Knitting

SIMPLEFRAME KNITTER   A while ago I found a collectible knitting machine. The Simpleframe knitting machine model S100.  It was made in the UK. I found a YouTube video of the first Simpleframe machine created. It was invented by Dr. P.J. Reilly, and it was a long triangle that you could put on your lap. I have neverContinueContinue reading “Vintage Simpleframe Knitting”

Machine Knitted Top

Machine Knitted Veronika Top I finally could figure out how to use my electronic Brother knitting machine. Since I forget everything and I don’t feel like reading the manual every time I use this machine, I recorded a video of how to use the pattern feature and posted it on YouTube. Then, I had toContinueContinue reading “Machine Knitted Top”

Recycling Old Craft Boxes

Vintage Knitting Boxes Today, I don’t want to write about knitting or crocheting. Instead, I want to talk about something just as important: craft storage. More specifically, I want to share my experience upcycling two extremely old wooden craft boxes. A while ago, I inherited two vintage craft boxes—one from my husband’s great-grandmother and theContinueContinue reading “Recycling Old Craft Boxes”

Knitting Machine Dishcloth

Dear Blog, Yes, I know. I skipped one day again! Oh well, no worries because today I want to document the steps to make a dishcloth on a hobby knitting machine. I go through dishcloths so fast is not even funny, hence I decided to put my addiction to work for me. This is myContinueContinue reading “Knitting Machine Dishcloth”

Yarn Addiction

Dear Blog, I’ve gone and done it this time! I went on a yarn shopping spree. When I was visiting one of my favorite thrift stores in the next town over (did I mention that I love antiques?) I found a guy whose job is to deliver cones of yarns to local yarn stores inContinueContinue reading “Yarn Addiction”

Crocheting With Chloe

Dear Blog,One of my resolutions for this year was to create a blog to talk about yarn crafts. It took me almost three months to find the courage to do it. I promised myself that if I started writing a blog, I would write every day. I thought I could keep it up if IContinueContinue reading “Crocheting With Chloe”

My Journey to Machine Knitting

I learned to crochet when I was eight years old and to knit when I was twelve. I come from a very crafty family. My grandfather was a tailor, and my grandmother was a shopkeeper. Still, every bit of free time she had, she spent crocheting. She worked constantly. I always remember her as old—becauseContinueContinue reading “My Journey to Machine Knitting”
