Well, who'd have thought it!! My new interest in knitting includes using a vintage knitting machine to knit scarves. It is a "chunky" machine which means it is for thicker yarn and therefore it is a bit harder to push the carriage from side to side, particularly as I am knitting 2 x 2 rib which requires two carriages and two sets of needles.
The scarves that I make consist of 280 rows so I have to push the carriage back and forth 280 times, which gives me quite a work out. After a few days I began to feel my waistline returning from wherever it had disappeared to.
Yesterday I made a cowl instead of scarves, meaning a few less rows. I would have shown you a picture, but it sold in the shop today!
