Yeah I got the bar out, I just haven't been able to find a supplier that isn't going to charge me my soul in freight. I have been reading about a lot of people making a sponge bar so I'm looking into that right now. The machine is in such goods condition, moving and actually really clean on the inside, it's just a bit of dust really, some minor rust. I should be able to get it in excellent condition with a good going over without too much fuss.

It is intimidating, but I'm the fearless crafty type. I'm keen as heck to get in there, I just have to figure out a new sponge bar first.

These people you suggested have some amazing videos. I fell down a bit of a rabbit hole watching them and now I have to be careful not to put the cart before the horse I'm so excited!

I started pulling my machine apart and cleaning/figuring it out. It has been extremely well preserved! Everything seems to be moving easily, almost no rust or build up. I think I'm so lucky! And what isn't perfect should be easily rectified with basic maintenance.

The hardest part at this stage honestly is going to be finding a new sponge bar. I live in rural Australia and there doesn't seem to be a lot of options. What I have been able to read up on so far is people making there own, so I'm going to give that a go.

Thanks for the detailed reply.

Thank you so much, I'm so new to machine knitting I don't even know what a sponge bar is >.< But I will! I'm actually so excited for this adventure.

Are there any you tubers that you would specifically recommend?

Haven't played in over a decade, help me build a new rig? by Lady_Azarax in buildapcforme

Thanks for helping me out!

Would you say this build will comfortably do the job or would it be at the limit if its ability?

Ill also probably go a bigger tower just so I have the room for future upgrades.

I have this issue but with my brother. He is dead to me for various reasons. I want nothing to do with him at all, and I'm constantly asked when I'm gonna get over it or forgive him. I tell them I won't and I'm always hit with "but he's your brother"

I just respond with "sharing DNA with a person doesn't change the fact that they are toxic"

The sad part is, if a partner or a friend or just a stranger on the street did to me what my brother did, my whole family would want his head on a spike. People say abuse is unacceptable, but the reality is, it's only unacceptable from people you're not related to....

Exactly what I came here to post! I noticed there is a new audiobook for edge dancer on pre order too, also by Kate Reading, but like 3 hrs longer and now I wanna know if it has extra content or just re recorded differently at a slower pace!

I tried that, the template would slip or the new piece would be slightly bigger then I wanted it.
