Fingerless Gloves and Wristers
Well I now knit. I have been working on learning to knit. By hand and by machine.
Here is the machine just out of the box. The Silver Reed Card-O-Matic is a nice machine. My sister Barbee gave me this some 25 years ago.
My mother-in-law gave me another machine with Ribber attachment and I have them both up and running. I am ready to teach my Grandchildren to machine knit as well as hand knitting.
So this what I have done with it. I went to the local Goodwill and purchased an old broken down treadle machine that was rusted and the drawers were mostly gone. After attaching a piece of wood the right size I mounted the machine to the old sewing machine frame. A few cup hooks and the accessories were attached on the front for easy access.
Then the job of collecting a stash of yarns. I had some in the attic that I used for crocheting years ago. The rest I have purchased at Goodwill and thrift shops as well as getting new more modern yarns. I have also been spinning yarns on the drop spindle and my Traditional Wheel. I spent the summer spinning and dying yarns from wool fibers.
Now I like making small knitted items such as Wristers and fingerless gloves. I have several pairs of these gloves at the Latimer Quilt and Textile Center
