Knittin to It Knit Club

I spent most of this weekend devoted to machine knitting events since the Knittin to It Knit Club met the next day after the Interknit Machine Expo. We had a nice turnout for Dean's presentation. He was really nervous but did a great job sharing his considerable expertise with us. Cheryl Schmedeke of Knitting and Sew Forth brought items from her shop and was amazed at how fast the Yeoman yarn sold!

Dean improvised this handy toolholder from a milk crate:



These fun snowman ornaments sport knitted arms and scarves. Caps can be knit too, of course.

The star is an E-wrapped surface embellishment using three different colors.



Finally, he showed how to attach pieces together to make a knitted patchwork.


I videotaped Deans presentation for the benefit of absent members. Unfortunately, I was so engrossed in the production that I can't remember the content! Please contact me if you would like to arrange a viewing.
