Getting Back to Knitting

Hi
Fall is almost here. Are you done gardening and flower growing? I still have some weeding to do out in the front of the house, finished in the back. We had a lot of rain this year in East TN. and as a result everything is growing great, however that includes the weeds and the grass needs cutting 1 to 2 times a week.

Well, I am ready to get back to knitting again, how about you?

I just finished a pair of grey legwarmers using the garter carriage in 2x2 rib. Sorry, can't upload pictures. 

What are you knitting?

Any new inspirations on creating something new with your kitting machine?

I am going to try a spiral hat I saw in a yarn shop in North Carolina last week. It was hand knit however I want to do it on the machine. Hope to post it when I am finished with it. Well I have to get started first HA HA.

We have some awesome bargains on our clearance page at our web site. Free Shipping in the Continental USA. http://www.sumi-soft.com/yarn/

If you have a serger, then serge the top and the bottom of the lining to prevent fraying.

Sew top of lining to waist band.

Insert Elastic in waist band. Waist measurement I used 3/4”  Elastic about 19”-20” long.
