Here are the chemo caps I made and sent to a very dear friend. She had sent me a picture of a couple and ask if I might be able to make her a couple. So this is what I made for her.

Learned But Disappointed
I had some time to play with me knitting machine. I am somewhat disappointed. I guess I need to work with it more to get it to work better? I learned the "e cast on". But it does not work very well. It is VERY hard to knit the first row with this cast on because it is to tight. I tried casting on loose, but it did not matter. It was always to tight. It just would not knit the first row. So I had to rip it out every time. If I just knit with out using the e cast on, I have to go back before I get done and use the knit needle to bind off the first knitted row one stitch at a time. For now , as I am disappointed with it, I have put it aside for now.
I will start a beading project tonight instead. Love my beading!
A little sad here about knitting.....:(
(But I do love hand knitting still)

About Time
I guess it's about time I get back on here and start writing again. Lots been going on like life....but now back to my blog.
I now have a knitting machine. Have not had time to make anything on it yet. This weekend for sure. I would love to knit some sock blanks and dye them. Have never done that before. Just one more new thing to learn.
I just finished a lap quilt and sent it to a friend. She loves it. Was glad to do a little something for her.
Would love to hear from other knitters who use a knitting machine.
Have to go for now, need to get into my sewing/craft room and do a little clean up there.
