I'm headed to the fair tonight...what building is the knitting in? I want to see it all and I'll stop by and say hello to your afghan! :D

OK...this post was supposed to be in a community. Weird.

Anyway, the knitting is in the DiSalle building, which is just north of 17th Ave. It's diagonal from the Venus Vibe monstrosity (you'll know what I speak of when you see it) and there is a lego bob the builder outside the building.

kalmn sent me a link to this entry. May I just say WOW! Not only to get a machine with all it's parts (if a bit rusty) but all the documentation and correspondence. I'm reading all your letters in the pictures. The little history geek in me is sooo jealous.

I myself have a mostly complete AutoKintter. I'm missing the little arm that positions the ribber. I do however have the argyling head.

Yeah, I was very very thrilled to get all the pieces. I'm hoping to scan the letters and such and throw them up on a website for posterity too.

I am planning to have the machine professionally restored before the year is out. Socks here I come!

I picked up your swatch at SnB last night. I assume you need it back soon?

[pixiecrinkle.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I couldn't find it in my bag later on last night and thought I was just blind. I'll get it from you the next time I see you. Will you be at the SNB at Mojoe Saturday?

[futurecfo.livejournal.com]

I didn't know we were having one! This Saturday at where? I'll be there, wherever it is.

[pixiecrinkle.livejournal.com]

The regular downtown SNB is at Mojoe Saturday at 2.

[futurecfo.livejournal.com]

Where is Mojoe?

[pixiecrinkle.livejournal.com]

It's about 2 blocks south of waiting room, same side of the street, in the cap over I-670.
