Sad Day Stripping My Old Friend
My traveling Toyota KS 650 got knocked over at a meeting a year ago. It was just too twisted and bent to save. I didn't want to give up on it. It's been a year and I finally thought it's taking up too much space. As I got my Studio 155 set up with ribber I realized I had gotten a new sponge bar for the knitting machine, but not for the ribber. Light bulb!! Why don't I take the fairly new sponge bar out of the Toyota. It's time I thought to give up the ghost on that ole machine. So, I got the sponge bar and finished setting up the Studio 155. Then I began stripping all usable parts from the Toyota. I got all the needles, the numbered strip, the tool box, and the carriage. I asked DH to put the carcass in the trash for me. Though not heavy any more it was just difficult to get rid of my first machine.

You know you have to be part mechanic when you own knitting machines. I said a prayer for your old machine. Somewhere in the distant future, it may be reincarnated into a coffee machine, a steel beam for a building, or enameled and become a stove. I am sure it will be recycled into a new life. Just keep knitting until all the yarn is gone!
