trust me. they are related.

my pretty gauntlets, a gift from my pal rubi knitter extraordinaire. so glad it is gauntlet weather  so i can flaunt them.( including a bit of history for your amusement) .

the brain. spent all day yesterday cleaning, creating space from the void and checking the machine.

still haven't run it because i had to change the sponge bar.  

i have to get to know the original brain before i can hack it. trusting one of my japanese classmates, the coding wiz, can help me if i get stuck. actually what i am going to wine and dine him for is to write a code so i can use photoshop directly w. the new brain. more of that on its due date. 

 and if most  people have already realized and accepted the fact that a dobby  loom hooked to a computer is STILL handweaving they will come to terms with an electronic knitting machine. amen.

et voila mesdames

it's here! at last! 

husband -san is having a field day carefully unpacking it so as not to wreck the box-as i would have done.

on to learning how to use it.

the auxiliary shelving unit is getting re threaded

straight draw for weaving  some sort of crepe to finish this warp. can't believe it's been on the loom for over a year!

in the can't believe department is the knitting machine too. can't believe it arrived 10 days ago but has not been delivered yet.  i was told to be patient because it would be delivered soon.
