sleeveless Cardigan


This is my latest cardigan knitted from my stash yarn. It is the Sleeveless Cardigan by Wendy Knight . I found it in the Yarn magazine. As you can see it is not sleeveless as I added longer sleeves so I can wear this through winter and still be nice and warm.

knitting machine

A few months ago I bought a second hand toyota 747 knitting machine in the hope of one day being able to make some jumpers for my children. First I gave it a little clean. I never knew there were so many needles or how long it would take to take them all out clean them in white spirit and them replace them. See how dirty the spirit has become.
But her it is all together and working. I have had a few sticking problems, but at the moment it all seems to be going well, touch wood. I am just playing at the moment, I have a long way to go before I can thing jumpers.
