Recently I did a blog update about my sewing machine "Pinky", a rose color 1950-ish Kenmore that didn't seem to be wanting to work for me. Apparently according to my tech support (aka: my father) this machine is very picky on it's tension setting and it doesn't take much to mess it up, which I tend to do often. While Pinky was waiting for repair from me touching it, I got another machine from my parents.
Meet the Brain:
It's a teal blue old Singer sewing machine my parents got for $15 and runs great. I had been calling it "Bluey" since it's a blue machine but my wonderful friend Carey suggested "Brain" after the cartoon "Pinky and the Brain". I loved it and informed my parents last night that I couldn't break up the pair. I finished up the skirt I had been making last night and will have some pictures to come.Now for the knitting part of the blog. For the 1 billion time for me, I have once again started a sock up with the goal of actually trying to finish it. Last Friday Carey and I both purchased some sock yarn and needles at MisKnits in Kansas City, Mo. We had no real reasons to actually purchase more yarn but we did anyway like the fiber junkies that we are. I chose some Totufsies sock yarn with very high hopes to create a pair of socks from the Jaywalker pattern by Grumperina. So far I have it started and in my purse to work on whenever I can.
