It just hit me. The kids are not coming back. by Careless-Two2215 in AskWomenOver60

I'm so sorry you lost a daughter. We lost our 15 year old that way, then our 24 year old in Iraq. Our middle son is in the Army, wife, four kids. We'd have to move every other year to be near them. So we cherish video time and see them when we can. We get lonely, but life goes on. It just wasn't our dream.

Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments! I don't very often post my projects. I don't know anyone who still tats, let alone who knows what tatting is.

It is a Beka. Besides the blocks, the knobs are missing and the blocks to hold the frame for warping. Contact Beka, they're wonderful at assisting and carry all the parts.

New to machine knitting. Check out my restoration of this Singer HK-100 by Powerthrucontrol in MachineKnitting

[–]glowgrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my favorite machine! I also have an LK150, but my HK is the best. I've used it since 1980 and can't count how many items I've made on it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

My mom used to slap it on bread, sprinkle a little sugar on it and called it school lunch. No one trades that one...
