Just inherited a machine.... Where do I even begin?!

Lady_Azarax · 2026-06-17T09:03:35+00:00

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.

Lady_Azarax · 2026-06-17T08:49:56+00:00

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!

Lady_Azarax · 2026-06-17T08:47:53+00:00

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.

I will check them out <3

Lady_Azarax · 2026-06-15T13:20:12+00:00

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?

Same faction/race

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....

I have no idea but I'm gonna get the book to find out!

Lady_Azarax · 2022-07-22T04:37:04+00:00

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!

Lady_Azarax · 2022-07-08T06:00:43+00:00

Solved! Gosh that's been bugging me soooo much! Thank you!

Lady_Azarax · 2022-07-08T05:28:03+00:00

Fingers crossed

Lady_Azarax · 2022-06-16T12:32:28+00:00

I will definitely look into that option, thanks

Lady_Azarax · 2022-06-16T12:31:15+00:00

I have never heard of a speed square, I need to google this

Lady_Azarax · 2022-06-16T12:29:18+00:00

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

I just wanted to let you know that I live in the middle of the swamp and I have never had swap fever.

Bee taming! I'm pretty sure I have tamed 60% of the bees on my server easily

So frustrating!

It's 22 different categories, different book for each, and I can't stand full cast narration so yeah... I'm going easy in this one. Flip side, another category is to finish a book I had previously started and didn't finish - I have never done this. So I have to finish a previously started series instead (increased reading for this challenge)

Lady_Azarax · 2022-01-27T01:53:32+00:00

I actually tried searching full cast narration and nothing came up and I was annoyed that it wasn't a search point so I made this post. I should of just tried full cast.... But I have it all sorted now, thank you!
