structure

few things beat a good workbook and the above are as good as gold. they seem custom made,or as newspeak has it- bespoke, because i learn by doing.

the exercises are well designed ,work by layering in progression  and are interactive.one is required to look at the machine and write down things and refer to the machine manual and copy information.

 after having finished two chapters i am delighted.

i bought them because i felt the need to get some structure before the non arriving machine gets here. ribbers are new to me, but seeing  the delay i'll have time to master them.

hard to believe that i ordered the books on nov 2 and were here on the 8th having flown over the atlantic ocean and done some land travel as well. the %$**& machine is just doing land travel within the  european continent and still NADA.

have you ever tried stitching french knots to relieve stress? it works!
today i have to go to the post office and see what's happening with the knitting machine. it left belgium on the 4th and  although already here i still don't have it. pan european panic: france, belgium and spain. france being a very kind french lady who has been the liaison between the belgian lady and i.
 armed with the tracking number to the post office and let's see how it goes.
