So, I acquired two nephews and a niece this summer (thanks for doing your bit, S!) And, since I spent so many hours of my pregnancies sewing tiny clothes, I still get the urge to dust off the old Brother sewing machine when I see little ones. The Brother sewing machine is from the late sixties, or as far as I can tell from the style of the illustrations on the manual cover. I received this one free from a neighbor, and asked at the sewing store if they were good machines. The guy asked, "Is it heavy?" "Yeah, weighs a ton." "Then it's a good one!" I guess that the quality has gone down over the years, but luckily mine appears to be solid steel! I do oil it up every time I use it after ignoring it for months. So, here's some pics of cute bibs.
I also made a cute set of bibs, burp cloths, and a matching polka-dot blanket, but of course didn't get a photo of any of it. Unfortunately there are no photos of any finished knitting items, as school sucks up all of my "free" time. Hopefully I can turn something out during Thanksgiving weekend, as I huddle inside with the curtains drawn on Black Friday.
