Knitting Machine
The good news is that you can make four child-size sweater backs in one morning on a knitting machine. The bad news is that, due to 1) the machine and 2) my utter lack of skill, I’ve made the same sweater back four times this morning.
It’s now done. Now the machine has decided its worked too hard already today and refuses to knit the front of the sweater. I’m eating popcorn and posting in my blog rather than continue the fight. Perhaps after a bit of chocolate I’ll be willing to square off with the beast again.

Hate getting into the “zone” only to find I’m “zoned out”!

When I first heard of knitting machines, I honestly thought they just required the pushing of a couple buttons (much like, say, a washing machine). Just hand it the materials, choose a setting, and press “start”. You can then go to work or run some errands, and when you come back - voila - a nice new sweater!
Imagine my disappointment when I finally got one.
