The sewing machine was my uncle's mom's. It's from the late 50s early 60s, I think. Right now, it isn't working exactly. My uncle said that I need to get it oiled so that I don't break it because it hasn't been used in awhile. So, I need to find someone to do that. For right now, it's just sitting there looking pretty. I am a little scared of it, but I also really want to use it.
Remember that sweater I started awhile ago? Well, here's my progress on it so far:
I've finished the back panel and the front is on my needles now. It is a kind of boring pattern with all the stockinette, but I'm getting to a good part soon. If only I had more time to work on it.
Yesterday, I let myself have a craft day which was a lot of fun and really relaxing. I didn't get a lot accomplished, but I did make a Garry the Hedgehog and started on another Quasi the Roadkill Squirrel. Also, here's a little secret for something up and coming for the shop: I'm writing up the Quasi the Roadkill Squirrel pattern! I've gotten the basics of the pattern down, but that's only the first step. I'll need to head over to Ravelry and find some test knitters which I've learned from my first pattern can take awhile. I'll make the announcement here of course when it is all done!
Love the sewing machine!
And the print sitting next to it!
And the exposed brick wall!
The colour of your sweater is great, and you've made such fast progress! Good work!
fun!!!!! i am so excited to start knitting this fall - my goal is to finally attempt a sweater. i hope mine turns out as nice as yours!!
That sewing machine is beautiful, and I commend you for knitting a sweater. My sweaters usually end but being vests because I get so bored/really confused with sleeves. It's like a mental block or something. But I have a few cute hand-made vests! :)
