If possible maybe at a dealer that will warranty it for a year.<br />Some of the new stuff lacks quality but still has a big price tag, it seems they are disposable now.<br />I too have repaired when I should of junked, so I am hoping something good comes your way.

You've got quite a list going! (BTW- I LOVE Alicia P's Fox and Kitty. She is the greatest.)<br /><br />Michelle- awesome.<br /><br />Lydia- that is so true about the big heavy metal machines. Unfortunately, that is the one that is giving me the trouble and no one around here seems to know how to fix it! They return it with more problems than it left with! The craft kit idea is a great one- last year I made homemade perfume and lip balm kits for some of my younger sisters. A candle kit too! They were hits! I think I need to branch out a bit more!<br /><br />Bobbi- holy cow! You must knit at lightening speed! Your first adult sweater! Coolness! Will it be for you? That is a lot of exclamation points! But worth it! OKay. I'll stop now. ;-)<br /><br />Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-7515198320898028042014-11-13T11:11:57.947-05:002014-11-13T11:11:57.947-05:00Socks!!

I was de-cluttering my craft bin this afternoon and found the size 4 vest I cast on for my now 16! yr. old son. sigh.<br />I have lots of crafty plans, but little time. I hope to finish a beautiful lace scarf for my mil, a kitty (pattern from Alicia Paulsen) for my 7 yr. old daughter, a stuffed dinosaur for my 3 yr. old, a hat for my 19 yr. old daughter. Clearly I won't get to all of it, but one can try.Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10135354087987865536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-9827642112063589742014-11-12T17:37:34.830-05:002014-11-12T17:37:34.830-05:00Oooooo...Elizabeth Yates!
