The Chevy


For better or for worse, I bought a 1957 Brother knitting machine on EBay recently. Okay, I haven't exactly got it thumping out sweaters yet, but the verdict is already "for better." Not only have I had hours of joy and delight playing with it, but its gorgeous, chrome-and-vinyl, green-and-creme presence in my room alone makes me happy on a regular basis. Despite a slight overcrowding problem. It will henceforth and forever be known in my universe as "The Chevy." Click on the photo at left to see the Chevy in the glorious detail provided by its seller on Ebay, and hear about my minor travails in whipping it into shape...
