Just finished three afghans to donate to a school for their craft bazaar. They sell raffle tickets and the money goes to the performing arts. Fun to give and a good cause.

I shuttle tatted the outside ring of this ornament. The tatting is in-between a ring that holds another tatted design with a red stone in the middle. There is a fabric circle that is also between the ring that holds the middle design. The tatting is made with 100% Egyptian cotton called Lizbeth size...

Passap E 6000 Console Repair

I managed to rescue an E 6000 for a friend I know in Maine that was looking for one. It was on Craigs list at a location that was ten minutes away. I went to see the machine and bought it. I cleaned it all up but had trouble with the console. I found a place near me that changed the battery for 15.00 including the battery. [ 235 more words. ]

Passap Knitting Tubular using OX/DX http://wp.me/p6xW6-186

I have a book called Pat's Passap Primer. I was leafing through the book and I find a pattern for a bottle cover knitted in tubular tuck stitch. This looks interesting. Here is a picture of the diagram in the Duett International Magazine. Next to it is the set up from the pattern from Pat Wetzel. Look at the pusher arrangement in technique 163. [ 657 more words. ]

Passap Simulated Seed Stitch by Jan Wold & Jan Mills http://wp.me/p6xW6-17W

I was leafing through my books a couple of days ago and the caption on one of the pages grabbed my eye. Simulated seed stitch. I love the seed stitch in knitting so I had to try it.And..... I love the look of it knitted on the passap machine. In fact, I liked it so much that I knitted up a little front of a sweater (not cut and sew mind you. [ 92 more words. ]

Passap Afghan by Michael Becker of Distinctive Knits http://wp.me/p6xW6-17S

I made this afghan for a woman's granddaughter. Her granddaughter saw one that I made her and she told her grandmother that she wanted it. Of course, she said no. So I asked what her granddaughters favorite colors are and she said cream and black. Yep, I have those colors. And so the story begins. Sometimes I think I should just give up knitting because I always run into a dilemma, through no fault of my own...snicker....snicker. [ 266 more words. ]

Light Weight Hat made on the Brother http://wp.me/p6xW6-17N

Years ago my brother in law asked me if I could make him a light weight hat, one layer, without all the bulk at the top of the head. I did and then his little grandson took it from him and put it on and never gave it back. So he asked me to make another and I did not even remember how I made it, and of course, no pattern .

Arm Knitted Cowl http://wp.me/p6xW6-17K

Okay, Okay, I know this is a machine knitting blog but aren't you just a little curious to see how arm knitting is done? My friend had one and it was so pretty in the yarn that she had. I just used what I had and it is not as pretty but I do like it. It is Lion Brank Homespun that I had bought to make a hat about a year ago . [ 78 more words. ]
