Good idea for the rulers. That's a great find for $30!
My cats have a magnetic attraction to everything they shouldn't touch. They will stay off my desk for weeks, but are always around as soon as any thread or yarn comes out...

You could make an onion gravy with veggie stock and really caramelized onions. I'd add miso or nutritional yeast to add some savory flavour in with the sweet onions.
Or try this chickpea gravy recipe from ppk as a starting point. I've been making and tweaking it for years (see the comments about the lemon juice and texture). It's not like a smooth meat sauce gravy, but it is really tasty on potatoes.
Oh, one thing I do that's helped me with floss is break it into separate groups for storage. Mine are roughly in sets of 200s by dmc number. More empty space in the containers, but less annoying to shift when I buy new colors.
That's a very nice cart! I keep all my stuff in big clear plastic bins in the closet, organized by category/item (fabric, floss, beads, projects, etc). Lots of smaller bins and bags inside. It's not pretty, but it keeps the light, dust, and cats away.
I'd like a cart for current projects. That would be nicer than pulling out my bins all the time. :)
Ah, that is very cute. Congrats!!
That's really pretty! I thought it was a close up of a tiny sweater until I read the needle size. What yarn are you using?
I think that's because you forgot to feed the cats. They are waiting in the kitchen.
Thanks! I wasn't clear, glad you got what I meant. :) That link is very helpful. I have never tried to sew ribbed bind off before. I will have to give it a try. It looks so nice and flat.
Hi fellow machine knitter! This is fantastic!! What bind off did you use for your ribbing? It's really nice and flat.
Usually they are pretty pricey, especially with the ribber attatchment. That's an amazing deal for a bed and ribber setup!! You can sometimes find used ones on ravelry or craigslist. I've only ever found parts where I live. The lk-150 is a great machine for dk and worsted weight yarn if you want to check it out.
Machine knitting is fun and tricky. I've had people tell me it's not "real knitting", but there is a lot of skill in getting a nice result like this cardigan. You can knit big pieces flat, do hand manipulation to make cables and lace on the machine, and pick up stitches to knit the ribbing by hand. Or you can use attatchments to make it all on the machine. I think it's very interesting how everything works.
That is huge and amazing! Such a good game.
We have far side at home.
