I like to collect vintage toys. Most of what I collect is stuffed animals from the decades when I was a child, but occasionally something comes along that I can't resist. This little item came up on knitswap a few months ago. A Kenner knitting machine from 1966. I may try knitting with it. One of the projects is a dog sweater, which makes the toy even more appropriate for me. The funny thing is, it would have been the perfect toy for nine year old me, and I wonder why I didn't have one. I'm home from the yarn orgy known as Stitches Midwest. Resting the throbbing mass of pain that was previously my left foot. Walking on the concrete floors of the Market was probably not the best thing, but I was sucked into a Polwarth and Cashmere blended stupor, partly encouraged by a new knitting friend, Carol. Not that I needed much pushing. Of course I had to dig into my new treasures, the previously mentioned blend being first. Surprisingly, no yarn was purchased for Lucky Penny. I really have lots on hand, so that's okay. My camera battery is being recharged, so a full inventory will be revealed in later posts.
