I realy hope not....

I’ve wanted to do this for some time now.

Not sure why?

Maybe it is the die-hard frustrated crafster in me, or maybe it is my passionate lust for yarn or maybe it is just me missing my ouma (grandmother).  But this past weekend I bought myself a knitting machine.

I spotted this yarn at Romy's Habby over the Easter weekend and instantly fell in love!  You will not believe how fast this knits, it takes about an hour and half to knit one scarf (took 3 "balls" of the wool/yarn per scarf).

Did you notice the difference in "thickness"? 

The scarf on the right was knitted with 9 stiches (8mm knitting needles) and only one stich in between the pom-poms,...
