new toy

 i never believed my parents when they said that once you grew up that was the end of toys.maybe that was true during their times, but not now.and being the gadgeteer i am it's all said.

the color changer is here; record time serving and delivery.

i spent all day yesterday sweating setting it up and learning the ropes.

those who can give or write good clear and concise instructions are not aware how blessed they are.

i still have not been able to knit more than a couple of rows because i know the problem lies in the threading: but since i am getting conflicting instructions

and  photo information i am going trial and error or i should say trial by ordeal. the good news is that the north wind is blowing and the temperature has dropped.
remember the movie chocolat?

pleased to inform

that the heater works well. it only goes up to 34ªC as it is for aquariums and not for making fish broth.

i bought the 100w. one, but in theory the 50 w one would have been enough as you need a watt x liter.

the extra wattage means that it heats quicker, but once the thermostat get to 34º it shuts down.

that said it takes out the chilly edge from the vat and puts it to work. to go up to 40º must be heaven on earth, but have not found anything that could take the vat there.

another consideration i'm taking is that since the temp is not optimal i'm letting it rest for an hour after each session.

yesterday's catch.i am a very happy camper.
