Not Dead, After All

Last April, Frank Sanders from Northtipton was in Raleigh and helped me with my Brother KH-212. At the time, it seemed like it was functional, but when I got home and tried to cast on and knit, I discovered that several of the channels for the needles had gotten deformed, with the end result being that the machine would not knit.

Or so I thought.

Further research and an "oh well, there's nothing to lose" attitude led me to try changing the shape of the channels with a screwdriver. After testing to make sure all of the needles could freely move, and doing a fair bit of investigative "air knitting," today I finally got up the gumption to rethread the machine.

And guess what.

It's ain't dead, after all. Here are a couple of pictures of my very first swatch.
