They just *flew* here! I ordered them on the 20th, and the box was on the porch when we got back from chemo. I've ordered from Overstock.com before and waited a week or more and it wasn't the holiday season then.


I'm happy with them, although I wrapped and tucked the arms differently. as these arms aren't as deep as some arms, so there was much fabric to tuck. After washing, I'm sure they'll shrink up and then maybe I can do it the way it was designed to fit.

Speaking of overstocks, 2 ladies at chemo loved my new snow boots, which I got from Land's End overstocks many weeks ago, in anticipation of all this white stuff. Oops - I told them LL Bean, drat. The Bean musta been on my mind, as that's where I got most of Pookie's gifts.

Top your oatmeal with brown sugar and vanilla egg nog (instead of milk or cream)! Ohmigod, it's good!

An LK 100 bulky manual knitting machine, has all parts, manual and a video, I think. Video isn't shown in photo, but I'm sure I have it somewhere and will dig it out.

Adjustment 12/26: Was asking $75 plus shipping, OBO, is now $40 plus shipping but minus the intarsia carrigae which is being sold separaetly and there's now 1 broken ndl on the main bed (now 89, not 90 ndls) - prrof that I'm not meant to use a knitting machine! Needles should be available through some knitting machine suppliers, such as Angelikas . Seems you'd need the stopper and roller to fit onto the butt end of the 1 ndl - a total of $1.60 plus postage, as that is what has snapped off.

Will be posting on 2 lists on Ravelry, as well. Need to make up for that wig I bought and which is just not selling on Ebay - this is the 3rd time I'm listing it.



All I've ever knit on this machine is a few swatches. I thought I'd get to make simple sweater bodies with it, or afghan panels, but just never did, and don't see myself' using it - I really am a hand knitter!

Here's the video and the AG 10 intarsia carriage that goes with the machine.
