    DPD, LOVE that bolero on the Vogue pattern. So cool! LD, love that lot. The kitty cat pattern reminds me of the Busby Berkeley number, "Sitting on a Backyard Fence".

    Darling pattern, Spiff, and love the elephant photo, too. I also have a Helen Twelvetrees pattern but didn't know who she was. It was one of the Butterick "starred" patterns so didn't have a picture. It's nice to see those photos of her!

    Knitting Machines and parts?

    Hi all, Just curious, have any of you here used knitting machines? How do you like them? I recently found an old Brother machine but it's missing the carriage piece. Does anyone know where you can find parts for these?

    Me too :( I was planning on putting quite a lot on it. Maybe they just really had no idea what it was worth so the price sounded really good.
