Happy 2016

This year the weather put everybody out of kilter. Winter supposed to start in December, but snow is just coming down now. I feel sorry for businesses who depend on the snow fall.
In the midst of the Holiday Season. we last our knitting club organizer and a dear friend 
Barbara Bennett. In the last days of hers was spent in the Hospital, and lefts us in the last day of 2015.  She is sadly missed. 
Our knitting group is a very productive and friendly bunch. We have a charity box and every
meeting something is added to it. We have delivered two boxes full to the KW Hospital in
November.
Every meeting we have a demonstrator, with some new techniques, or maybe ones which needs to be revisited. It keeps the group inspired and alive, which is showing in the Show-
and Tell section.
Because of the Winter driving difficulties,[a few members coming from the countryside]
we decided to have no meeting in January and February. Next meeting will be in the second
Wednesday of March. [Cambridge Knitting Club, Tel. 519  653-1743 ]

March the 1-st.2018

In the last few days we have been treated with mild weather, and everybody was thinking of Spring. Unfortunately this afternoon it started to snow and the temperature is down by a few degrees and windy.
However, it gives us to think about more knitting, and I am working on destashing a lot of yarn, and a few knitting machines as well.
I have about a couple of Singer SK 7oo and 740 for sale. Before
I offer it the machine will have a new sponge bar, and technically looked over, cleaned and oiled, and have Instruction
Manual, plusz all the tools which comes with it originally.
They are priced for $300.-each. plus shipping.
I also have a couple of Brother machine;
1./Model 588 with a ribber std gauge. manual pattern selection.
    $150.- for both.
2./Model 840, punch card machine. standard gauge lace carriage comes with it. $350.-
3./Model 881, punch card machine standard gauge. this one       has a built in knit leader, and lace carriage. $375.-
Yarn: Tamm coned yarn, $15.-/cone 1 lb. cone. I have to list the available colours in another chapter.
There are yarn in skeins, and cake format, but I have to make some grouping yet so it will be offered in batches.
It is good to dig into the stash, because with every box opening
the ideas  just coming with abundance, only there isn't enough time to make them. But there must be some hope to use it up.
