machine knitting
Before I was a quilter, I was a machine knitter... had 5 machines at once years ago. Now I only have 2, a standard and a bulky. Since I have so many DGKs, the machine comes out at this time of year for mittens, hats and scarves. My DDs birthday was last week, so the 2 youngest 'helped' me with the knitting of a scarf in her Univ. of Minnesota colors. Here are the pics:

Scarf is extra long to keep icy winds out

2yo DGD 'helping' - her short arms barely reach

4yo DGD can reach but barely strong enough to move carriage

What cute helpers! That looks like a loooong scarf. I've seen skiens of yarn like those at the second hand store and I've wondered what they were for, now I know. This is definately the season to break out the woolies. Have you checked out the www.knittingparadise site?

Wow! that looks like such fun. I inherited 2 knitting machines about 5 years ago, I wish I had the space to set them up (they're currently stored in the garage) and someone to show me how to use them! I would LOVE to be able to knit!
