I like your frog! Hope you feel better really soon!

I've been doing research this morning about my treadle sewing machine. I've decided it's high time I learn to sew.

Anyone here use a treadle machine?

I wanted one like my grandmother had, and this one came along, a couple of years ago. A White Family Rotary.

I want to do some things with my mother, and she's such an ace with needles, sewing, and such. We've got a plan so that I can learn the basics.

Nothing on hook or needles I am sad to say.
I just haven't felt up to it this past couple of weeks. I am looking forward to starting a baby blanket soon, maybe by next wednesday

Hope you are feeling better today Miss Kitty

Kathy hope you are feeling much better. Miss Kitty hope your feeling better,also. I have crocheted very little.Picked up a virus I guess. I feel much better today. Still spending time in the bathroom. I found a sock pattern and decided to try it because I felt to bad for anything else. I crocheted a sock. It took me all day. It turned out nice. It is a pedicure sock. Now, I need to make the other. Maybe next week. It is soooo hot here and humid to boot. Take care all. Hope everyone gets to feeling better.

Serena · MANIA MOD

Anormaxsis, am sending you get well thoughts, too!

Thanks Maxine,
I hope you get to feeling better soon too.

This stuff must be going around. I don't remember getting stuff like this in the summer back when I was a kid.
It's all you hear nowadays is where someone is always getting sick every summer.

I have just been working on my pansy doily for the doily CAL. And a potholder.

I hope everyone starts feeling better soon.

What is a Little Care Doll, Miss Kitty?

I get so frustrated trying to sew, so sorry; I am of no help, Serena. I hope you do well with yours, though.

Thanks everyone! Kathy and Miss Kitty hope you are feeling better. I personally think It's the heat. I don't handle it well.

The only thing I am working on is the doily for the CAL/KAL. I'm in a dilemna about what to work on next. I am thinking I will do a beaded knitted fish bag pattern I bought at the DFW Fiberfest. Not for any reason, just to do it!
I have some Sinfonia I was looking to make a top out of and didn't have enough. Went to HL to see if by chance I could match the dye lot. They didn't have ANY of the cream that I had. So, then I found a filet crochet top. It used size 10 thread and I have plenty of that, so I may just tackle that. It will take a little while to do, but filet is easy just time consuming. That is my plan for now anyhow!

Still feel like a Zombie, but getting better..
I used to sew with my grandmothers treadle machine. Don't out your finger in front of the footer. They do not stop on a dime.

Kahud48 and anoramaxsis- hope you two are feeling better..

NO!
Just click on report there at Etsy in the ad that they are running. You will see it there in the right side ccolumn.

No, not if it is a free pattern, then they are in the wrong because the company does not allow selling of their free patterns.

Who is doing that Miss Kitty? You can report them to the company.

I just bought one this past week on Ebay and believe me, I am reporting them today to Bernat

Miss Kitty · MANIA MOD

Maybe, I'll just do that..

Kahud48 · BOARD OWNER

I wonder if it is the same lady on Ebay.
It was for a kint sock pattern....
"Yoga Socks" and I paid $6.00

Hope you are feeling better Kathy and Miss Kitty. I have never delt with etsy. I have thought of ordering stuff. Is there always a problem? Serena thank you for the well wishes. Have not crocheted. Went to work yesterday. I feel better,just feel tired.
