Rant - squirrels and their walnut eating habits. Events The Michigan Machine Knitting Guild has a group on Ravelry. Our next meeting is October 24. I forgot to mention the Ann Arbor Fall Fiber Expo - late notice - October 22-23 at the fairgrounds. I saw Diana Sullivan at the Interknits event in Illinois in October. Shelly was there. Want to listen to my interview with her? I saw Sandee Cherry and all 50 of her books and patterns in Grand Rapids. Acquisitions I bought a used Singer DL-1000 Linker from a guild member. I am a convert! I am getting a Brother Knit Leader and the Diana Sullivan DVD about using it. There is a similar device called a Knit Radar for Studio/Sliver Reed machines. Susan G. made a video years ago all about the LK150 machine and in it, she also demonstrates a knit radar. I couldn’t find a link to it unfortunately. Design A Knit software does a lot and costs a lot. It might be just what you need. I enjoy designing Garment Designer software. Brother made an accessory to use on the machine bed that will link pieces together or bind off live stitches. It is a version of the big drum linkers. Here’s an image of one Brother Linker. The Shadow Lace Tool is a jaws-like device that transfers stitches between the main and the ribber beds. It will work on any standard gauge machine. I bought 40 pounds of coned yarn at Davidson’s Old Mill Yarn. Hand Knitting I’m having yarn management issues knitting the Felted Clogs. I’m trying to use up all the Lion Brand Fisherman wool yarn without actually having to go buy more to finish. The Peekaboo Mitts are knitted, needle felted, and presented to the grandson. I used Nature Spun sport weight. I’m making a pair of Arch-Shaped Socks by Jen Showwalter of Mean Girl Design with Ambiente yarn. These are to be a gift. Left and Right Mittens made for my daughter. Machine Knitting I made a second panel for the Bathroom curtain using my bulky machine and ribber. I also made a dishcloth using some cotton yarn. I used the #30 pattern from Stitchworld, elongated over 50 needles and knit 176 rows of tuck. Resources Still looking for Audrey Palmer’s book on the subject - Create with Knit-Weave. What is the Louis System? There is another Susan Gaugliumi  Craftsy class coming soon. Vegemetarianism Poached salmon is delicious and good for me. This is a link the the Cook’s Illustrated recipe that I use. I think I’m not allowed to post the recipe without permission so it may be that you won’t be able to see it without a paid membership. Shrimp doesn’t taste as good as I remember.

Please join in the Ravelry group for this podcast. Lake Superior State University list of banished words for 2016. The Michigan Machine Knitting Guild has a group on Ravelry. I’m going to Spring Fling 2016 in Peru, IN. The Artful Ewe in Port Gamble, WA is a cool shop in a cool town. So Much Yarn in Seattle, WA was packed with knitters when I was there. I bought two balls of Freia yarn after hearing about it on the Actually Knitting podcast. When I got to Portland, OR I went to Yarnia for the cones of yarn to order. After returning to Michigan, I went to the Yarn Garden shop in Charlotte where I bought a skein of Lang Jawool sock yarn, the Sock Ruler, two skeins of orange Cascade Roslyn yarn, and a little ceramic dish that looks like knit fabric by Charan Sachar. Sadly, there is no sense in linking to Davidson Old Mill Yarn but here’s the article about the history of the place printed in the Lansing State Journal. Nature Spun sport weight is great for color work mittens. Brittany size 2mm double pointed needles are bluntly beautiful. Signature Arts needles are also beautiful she said pointedly. I finished the Rose Red hat by Ysolda Teague with Brooklyn Tweed Loft yarn. I’m working on toe up socks with KnitCircus Gradient Stripes yarn. I recommend the LK150 mid-gauge knitting machine to beginners. Everyone should take Susan Guagliumi’s Craftsy class. Design your own sweater with Garment Designer software. Watch for the bonus episode with the interview with Helen Sharp of The Knitting School.
