Final tally: I've made 8 longies, 5 soakers, and 3 hats. Two of the longies aren't usable-the first pair i made are just too stiff and scratchy and i shrunk one pair in the wash :( But not bad for $35 worth of thrift shop sweaters.We're packing up the house so no more machine based creations for a while. We're heading back to my homeland for Christmas then will hit the road, going wherever Thairo has projects for a few months. I'm excited about being a temporary gypsy, hopefully will turn my creative juices towards photography or who knows maybe even paper writing.
