Meeting Notes and notices

An interesting event where one of the members demonstrated how to clean our machines, two brave souls dismantled their Knitmaster and Brother machines to show how easy it was to take off the ends and clean out all the fluff using a long brush. Oiling and checking the needles were also part of this demonstration.

In October, Ann Brown came and gave an interesting talk.

She brought a range of interesting garments she had made and explained how some of them were made.

One of the interesting ideas that was discussed was the use of a knitted cord as a yarn to knit with – although it makes an interesting sample, the length of cord that would be needed to make a garment is enormous so this idea is restricted to small items. The picture shows the sample that Ann showed us.
