Yap, that's it! You can't miss it that's for sure. I didn't know there was a picture of it on the net. I guess the internet does have everything..lol

Katherine, I am all for learning more either way. Tonight I am going to TRY to finish up a little loom knitted lamb I have been working on. It's all done in Bobbles! Not sure if I will get it done or not just depends on how late I stay up. I'll let you all know when I get it done tho (I'll post some pictures... Hopefully, it'll turn out ok. Sometimes I think something will look alright but it's hard to tell until you get it altogether.) Well I better get off this computer and get back to looming. Great talking with you!

I love to see the angora goats....you can pet them, and also I had never seen a alpaca until last year at the Wool Gathering at Youngs Dairy near Yellow Springs...that is in Sep I think and is a 2 or 3 day event.

Oh yes drove by that on the way to Cincinnati last weekend.

Nice talking with you too

LOL I think we a of the same mind in that regard.

There are any number of reasons your USM got jammed. I've given out tips in the past that I can dig up from the Usenet archives and repost if you need it.

After learning my machine's quirks, I love it for quickly doing plain stockinette. I've made quite a few things with it over the years, afghans, sweaters, loads of hats, scarves, mittens, a couple of drawstring purses, and the like.

I've since branched out and am doing more challenging work on it, including intarsia, where you make pictures without carrying colors across the row. It takes careful attention to your chart, but once you get the colors threaded up and double checked, the row is knit in practically no time with the intarsia KP. It leaves you with tons of ends to weave in, but the pictures you can make with it are very true to the charts. I have some samples of my intarsia work on my Star Wars chart site. Most of the charts are all the same size 23 x 35 for a specific project I'm doing for a friend. I've been fiddling around designing more charts that she wants, and posting them to my site for others to use as I get them done. My site really needs another overhaul, but I just haven't had the time, so the page is still slow to load because of all the pictures. You'll find the charts and pictures of some squares I did here:

Cool. B)

LOL I agree, Dora. As long as we learn, it really doesn't matter who is doing the teaching.
