Needles back in business

Hello I am back with the needles the shoulder is healed enough for me to knit without screaming in pain,and I have managed some felting ,only a bit,so I am actually designing a new top .

Loads of beautiful new yarns on the shop shelves so loads to choose from but for now I want drape, silkiness and yet body, so let the search and the swatching begin.

Under the page heading for Circular sock machine I have just posted pictures of Esme all redone, repainted, new needles and she looks beautiful I cannot wait to crank her up and see some socks .Anyone out there ever used one of these machines ????
