Do any of you out there use a knitting machine? I picked one up through Freecycle and I'd like to use it, but I'm not sure how much work it'll be. Just looking at it is intimidating. My dd who is 8 has dreams of starting her own knitting business and doing custom knitting. Boy, looking at this thing, I sure don't know. It's an old model from about 1970, a Studio brand. It has all of the books and hundreds of patterns with it. I'd post a picture, but with this new computer, I can't run my digital camera on it.
And that's another thing....I have Windows Vista on this new computer and it's about to drive me...I don't know, somewhere. Not that I wasn't warned, but I didn't think it would be this bad. Seems none of my programs and none of my periphials work with this machine. Brand new printer, won't communicate, (I think it can get counseling for that), Adobe, Kodak Digital Camera, help! My Husqvarna Embroidery reader/writer doesn't even get a port! I guess Windows '98 really wasn't so bad. I can't afford to upgrade all of this stuff. Guess you'll just have to stay tuned for this continuing saga.

I love this verse. I think it fits in good with our trucking business.

No, I don't know anything about knitting machines.
Your daughter has a great idea, starting a knitting business. I would like to start a quilting business, selling hand quilted quilts.

I have gotten a new computer and I had the same problems but I fixed most of them! i was were you were until I call support for my new computer and they told me I have to go to the web site for each thing and download new drivers for windows vista--
my lexmark printer, my dig camera and so on.

I have one, and it is very easy to use. my problem has been "where?" - cuz it takes a while to finish something, at least when you have small children, and leaving it out on a table or something is hard.
do the easy stuff first, and take your time learning it.
I also found that if I was doing a LOOOOONG stretch of one color, I would tie a small bit of contrasting yarn on a stitch at the 20th row.
I just read your post you left at my blog. so I'm visting your site. Where in MN are you at?
