Had a lovely catch up with some fellow machine knitters at the start of last week. It was suggest by Carol (ex-owner of Metropolitan Machine Knitting), there is a Premier Inn near Crewe which has a small mezzanine area that can be hired. We had a lovely buffet both days (waay too much food, but it was nice) and a lovely evening meal. Pam showed off her hat experiments, and six methods for knitting fairisle on an LK150 without the fairisle carriage. Everyone had garments to show off; I demonstrated the 3d printed CSM, and one hubby gave us a short demonstration of his leatherwork. All in all a very enjoyable few days, and a lot less hassle to organise than the Dream Week I bet! I was trying to organise something here but so far there have not been many takers, so it might be best to plan something for next year.
The cross stitch continues apace. Eleven, count them, shades of dark brown to beige/cream. Ugh. I keep telling myself it's interpretive as only 95% of the stitches are in the correct spots.
In other news, the boiler is making terrible screeching noises, thank goodness it is getting serviced on Friday. It's 22 years old so can't really complain, I just hope it's nothing too serious.
Current mood: 
apathetic
