A New Chapter in My Life

1st time making a blog...

Bought a new Bond Ultimate Sweater Machine Deluxe, hubby bought as my Birthday and Christmas gift...I already have the Garment Designer...The Stitch Painter is my next purchase...(I lost my Bond Classic in the Wildfires of 2003 in California)...Funny, I paid $150.oo for it in 1979, hubby paid $148.00 for the deluxe model recently...I love it, i lost the original and paid less for far more...I'm hunting down patterns for it now...I'm a newbie on the machine, sorry to say... I'm told the "KEY" is knowing the guage(s)... Knowing the "KEY" I can create sweaters, etc... from schematics...
- Any tips are appreciated....
- Know of any great forums?

I'm 46 now and find myself needing to make my own clothes since i am not enthused about the new styles out there....Sweaters, oh my, better off creating them yourself! I'm a needlecrafter from age 8...My granny taught me to crochet and embroider, my dad's mom taught me to sew, i took knitting lessons...I'm self taught on the rest...(cross stitch, plastic canvas, needlepoint)...Oh, i do so much more aside from needlework, too! I have a couple pictures of me crocheting on lunch and breaks at work...

Collecting;
Crochet patterns, knitting machine patterns (8mm bulky), sewing patterns, plastic canvas patterns, hand knit patterns, cross stitch patterns, woodworking patterns, recipes...

Gathering;
Knitting needles and accessories, needlecraft stuff...

Thankyou for visiting...

Time to begin my blogging life....
