HOME 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.

Brother Ribber KR-830
HOME One of the most important types of knitting is ribbing. Ribbing is used to create elastics for knitted garments. As a hand knitter, I never had the need to learn how to rib on a knitting machine. Although I own several knitting machines, I used to knit cuffs, collars and waistbands by hand. Then,ContinueContinue reading “Brother Ribber KR-830”
Cómo usar la cama auxiliar Brother KR-830 para tejido elástico
INICIO Uno de los tipos de tejidos más útiles es el tejido elástico. Desafortunademante, este tipo de tejido es fácil de hacer cuando se teje a dos agujas pero no cuando se teje en máquina tejedora o tricotosa. La única forma de crear este tejido en máquina tejedora es comprando un accesorio adicional. Este accesorioContinueContinue reading “Cómo usar la cama auxiliar Brother KR-830 para tejido elástico”
Cómo Imprimir una Máquina Tejedora en 3D: Mi Experiencia
INICIO Uno de los primeros videos que publiqué cuando recién empecé mi canal en YouTube fue un tutorial de máquinas tejedoras circulares para hacer calcetas.

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 or Crocheting?
Dear Blog, These past two weeks have been hectic. I’m back at work, and my stress levels are once again through the roof. I haven’t had much time to knit, but I have been doing some reading. That’s how I stumbled upon a book about Tunisian crochet. I know the basics and have taken anContinueContinue reading “Knitting or Crocheting?”
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”
