First Knitting Machine Projects

Yesterday was a very productive day in spite of the several hours that were dedicated to the new knitting machine.  I "made" 2 projects on the machine and these are the photos.  

The yellow square was the tester piece that I first knit, and as you can see, it is a work of art.  It is curling in the at the sides- those are not wiggly edges.  The second two pictures are a scarf that I made, and then dropped a bunch of the stitches, in a pattern.  It may be slightly longer than I anticipated, but it is still nice looking and after it's blocked it will look even better.  

I also began the hairpin lace shawl in Katia Jamaica, and it looks really nice.  I'm on the first strip of lace, and I'm trying to chart my progress on ravelry.  We'll see how that goes.  

Knitting Machine

Be Fri is now in possession of a knitting machine.  Well, the Megan half of Be Fri.  It's not a high tech machine by any stretch of the word.  In fact, the word machine might even be a stretch, but it was on sale at Joann Fabrics and I thought it might help us get through ribbing and stockinette faster.  So stay tuned.  Later I will be posting some pictures of the yellow acrylic scarf in stockinette that am in the process of doing.  It will be ugly, but it will be "machine" made.  

New Item on Etsy and Ravelry

The image at the left is a slouchy hat that will be available soon in both chunky and thin yarns.  The picture on the left is the chunky yarn.  I don't have a picture of the cap with thin yarn because it was a Christmas gift and I gave it away!  So I need to make another so I can photograph it before we put it up as a pattern.  

The photograph on the right is now available for purchase at http://www.befri.etsy.com  It can also be purchased at Knit Las Vegas.  Stay tuned for some more designs soon.
