Here are a few old pictures I've got stored ...

These are some of the different yarns I've used in the past. The combination of the modern self patterning yarns is a complete contrast to the use of the 100 year old machine! These yarns are usually dyed by printing them as a running thread rather than the conventional type of dye bath. Similar results can be achieved at home by skeining the yarn onto very long hanks and hand painting it. The machine pictured below is a Golden Fleece I was working on. It wasn't my own machine, and sadly, I still don't have a Golden Fleece amongst my collection!

Now, this is one of my own machines!! This is an Imperia, and is the one I use most for making my socks. In this particular picture, the needles are raised out of work whilst I do an e-wrap cast on. The e-wrap cast on is far more time consuming than the normal 'ribber lever out' type cast on, but I think it makes a far neater job, so I stick with it.

This is a cosmetically restored machine I bought very early in my CSM days. It was actually a Victoria restored as a Griswold!!

Here are some more samples of some socks I have made on my machines.
