Set up the big Passap knitting machine in the newly uncovered space on the carpet, tested that all my equipment was working so as to be able to fault find on a lock/carriage sent for repair.

Lock is working perfectly. I do hate it when that happens - there is just nothing I can do to it. The owner has spent loads of money to get a machine she can use - so far she has bought three machines and sold one, spent out for spares and servicing and only has one machine working.

Ah well - a bit more sweeping and sorting and then I might be able to do some preparation for my trip to the folk festival - sewing a kilt or crocheting the black lambswool hat - or even both.
