Knitting Machines make short work of creating beautiful garments

A Shrug to Hug
R wrote - Snug as a bug in a shrug...I love shrugs and I especially love making them. My next project on projectknitway.blopspot.com will be how to. It's never too late for you to become a machine knitter. Just google bond knitting machines and you'll find one. Knit up a bunch, set up at your local craft fair and a couple of sales later you have you knitter paid for. You can be the Shrug Queen of Sydney! Seriously.

Clara - Serious Shrug Queen of Sydney!  Has quite a ring to it.  Sydney is actually a perfect place for a shrug as the weather is changeable and can be cool in the evenings.
When I visited you I was fascinated by how quickly you shaped your beautiful garments on the knitting machine.  When you are accustomed to knitting stitch by stitch, the knitting machine seems amazing,  similar perhaps to how women felt in the past when they first used as sewing machine.

I look forward seeing how a shrug is fashioned on http://projectknitway.blogspot.com/.

    Ok, so now I'm knitworking and networking. You won't believe it, but I'm on facebook and twitter. Lynee has promised to be my ghost booker and twitterer if I get a writer's block. Somehow this is all linked together. Speaking of which I need an Italian connection to find an Exacta Mini Linker for me. I've searched everywhere on google and ebay, none to be found. It was my favorite piece of equipment, linked thousands of sweaters together till it finally died on me. I know they are still available in Italy as I found a demo video on U Tube. Know anyone?
