I got my Kelsey Letterpress the other day. I did some cleaning. The guy who gave it to me said something had broken off but he didn’t know what it was for. Hmm. So after playing around I discovered it’s the chase latch - a vital piece. Hopefully he has the broken off piece because I’m either going to need to repair it or make a new one or this press is useless.
He also dropped off 2 trays of type yesterday. Cool stuff. I can’t wait to be able to actually use this thing!
I should sign up for that letterpress workshop at the Center for Book Arts.

I just finished knitting Rusted Root. Yay! I started it in early may and then didn’t touch it for a month but I was determined to complete it today.
The well..almost is because I need to sew in the ends. And, I think I might want to make it longer which will mean frogging the bottom ribbing and doing another inch or so of the main pattern before I do the ribbing again. I also am not sure I like how the sleeve are. I think the bottom is too loose, but a little elastic might help. I’ll have to show my mom and see what she thinks. Either way I’m excited to have it done. I have a ton of things I want to knit but I wanted to finish this sweater first.

I needed to use my mom’s Huskylock serger last week for the skirt I’m working on. Then I discovered the foot controller was busted. I took it to the Viking dealer to be fixed. They didn’t have the part in stock so I’m waiting for it to come in so I can use the serger. Patience is not one of my virtues.
