Decisions Decisions…

First off, I haven’t moved  far.  A total of about 5 hours from CNY to Leominster, MA.  However much is going into storage and remaining there until we have a permanent home again.  Our big old house with my ginormous Knit Zone going up on the market.  So we are moving into a smallish apartment. Luckily its just me and the Hubby. Can’t imagine having to do this with kids. Obviously my Knitting Machines would be lower on the totem pole.  But its time to pick the machines that will be in use for the next few months.  I know I am not alone in all this and hopefully my thoughts will help others!  Writing about it certainly helps me.

I am taking and setting up for immediate knitting:
1) Silver Reed Mid-Gauge Electronic w/ all its bells and whistles.

These items are being packed and kept in my Mini Knit Zone for not quite so immediate needs:
1) Singer 360 with Ribber but the ribber will be stored nearby.
1) Bond USM (Super Sized) Boxed for easy storage.
1) Storage Container of project yarn and works in progress
1) Bag of scraps and miscellaneous skeins for Charity and Xmas Knitting.

All of this will need to be contained in a small 4×6 (or less) area of our apartment.   Probably quite close to our designated office space.

I have several WIPs & Projects that I MUST knit.  1) Tutti Frutti – MAO Pattern that I had set aside due but want to finish badly. (Singer 360)  Happy to report that this machine is up and I started working on Tutti Frutti on November 19th!  I had to stop for the weekend and had some problems with yarn.  Its Monday 11/23 and I haven’t touched it today.

2) Portia – A Berocco Sweater Coat with lovely cables and ribbing.  (Mid-Gauge w/ Ribber)  This is the one that I’d really like some better tools for working with.

3) SOCKS – I have so much sock yarn! (Singer 360) and sock yarn doesn’t take up much room.  I also happen to have 2 single socks for my husband that were knit on the Mid-Gauge so I need to knit the mates because he really really enjoys wearing the Mid-Gauge Socks I’ve made.

3) Spending more time with DAK on the Silver Reed Mid-Gauge so I can utilize the full power of the  machines and this program.

Wait wait why am I taking the Bond?  For the extended Bed & an emergency Bulky bed.  I have in the back of my list of things to knit several wedding afghans.   Additionally, I am of a mind to addict others.  You never know who you will meet at the yarn shop right? 

 I thought I’d spend some time working on the Blog site.  Adding and updating  Machine Knit Blogs & Feeds.  If anyone has a Blog they think I am missing let me know?  While I recorded the Podcast I was working on these updates and found myself mired in a bit of a quandry over one of the sites I was going to add.  I guess this is the fun of recording “live” as it happens work on the Blog pages.

I did not re-record the videos on Rag Hem use yet.   I had a couple of ideas that will demonstrate even more clearly the ease of use of a rag hem on any machine.  I’ll get to those by the end of next week!

As promised the poll.

I’ve been thinking about this and will solicit input from others on these book reviews as we go along.  Like I’ve been saying my opinion isn’t really that important.  Its the eye of the beholder.  So once we know what book its going to be I’ll be soliciting calls on the book and YOUR opinions too!
