First meetings warrant introductions.

Hi! I'm Matt, and I've been knitting for just under 2 months.

Good morning guys,

After about a year of knitting, I began to wonder why people bought patterns. It seemed to me, at the time, that everything was so simple (reading from a pattern that is); anyone could do this.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night gentlemen, wherever you are in the world I hope things are going great.

Just thought i would post some photos of my new knitting machine. Its a Knitmaster 155 which is basicly the same as a Silver Reed SK155.

Cant wait to knit some things on it.

Sleeve one is done just about 1/4 way through second sleeve. Then just got to sew it together, do neck and fasten zip onto it.

The tennis elbow is BACK. With a vengeance. Clearly, I'm going to need to take a break from knitting. Sigh. For those of you who have had this and had to cut back - did you survive?
