In the mean time I have loads of WIPS.
This subfusc photo shows my attempt at the errata-filled Saxon Braid from "Knitting on the Edge". It should turn into the cuffs and collar for a jacket. The next photo is a neckwarmer in Noro based on an antique lace pattern (I used the same for some gauntlets a while ago.)
I'm also trying to finish up my version on R2's "Drawn on and Dinky", but it's not going too well. Any tips on machine sewing onto loose knitting????
Thats it for now, I bought some beautiful Baby Alpaca from The Loop which is waiting to become a capelet.

Machine sewing on a loose knit? Ouch.
Maybe you can knit up a swatch in the same stitch pattern to test out the tension on the machine before committing? Might be less painful than the real thing for the test drive...
Where oh where in HRM is The Loop?
Or, where is it going GOING to be?
I could pretend to be a local several days a month.
Congrats on the job,
Janey
Your saxon braid is looking beautiful so far, so I'm sure youv'e figured this out, but you can find the errata on the vogue knitting website.
