Hurrah for my early Christmas present!

Because of painful hands - some sort of arthritis for which I'm being referred to a rheumatologist - I've been unable to knit for some time now. I've really been missing being able to create lovely warm sweaters and cardigans for my grandchildren......but guess what?!!! My lovely DH has bought me a knitting machine for Christmas! It's only a very basic one, but that's fine, because it's what I'm used to - I bought a Knitmaster machine when I was 17 and used it right up until DS and DD were in their late teens. Then when we were having a sort out it got put in the garage and somehow stayed there. On investigation years later it was, inevitably, rusty .

So now I can knit again! OK, it doesn't quite take the place of being able to sit knitting while watching TV, but at least I can make knitted garments again, so I'm very happy
