My mum is the official "Queen of Machine Knitting"
I am very new to this hobby, but already I have my second machine.
At Christmas time I had lots and lots of lessons on how to drive this fancy machine. It does all sorts of patterns and stitches, so I have lots of learning ahead.
Mum said I had to jump straight in and make a garment, so . . .
a waistcoat it was to be. Lots of giggles, and late nights later, we came mighty close to finishing.
I still have to sew in a couple of loose ends.
I will post the finished garment sooooooon
Thanks to Marlene (the Queen's Accomplice) - for helping secure the new machine, and sharing so generously, some of her stash.

Oh my, such beauty...and "summer"! Gosh, we are in northern NY near Canada and it is about 8 degrees f right now, so I appreciate your beautiful items!
Annie that is amazing for a first go!! You are inspiring me - I just need more hours in the day !
I think you are quite a natural with that machine knitting. I am impressed!
Oh my LORDY, woman..... you're a champion! GO YOU! (And a big hug for your Mum from me. She's an amazing teacher and a wonderful woman).
How mum convinced you to attempt machine knitting on a Mildura summers day is beyond me however I guess I treat a hot day like a rainy one and do inside things and she does have an airconditioner so perhaps it is not so incredible. Good work, I think you will be a natural. Help is only a skype call away. Mum will be so pleased you are having a go!1569
Clever Annie! I am so impressed. Can't wait to see the completed project.
You are a natural-looks like you have a wonderful teacher too-hope your air conditioner is working:)
Good for you, you have all my respect and admiration in learning this new technique.
Looks like fun and great to have such a knowledgeable person to learn from :)
Wow! That looks like so much fun -- I can't imagine being able to finish something so quickly! How are the little birdies doing?
