Auhhhhh- thumn. I just love Autumn. And thankfully enough, our whether here on the Pacific coast has been cooperating.
Today I drove over to Grants Pass to bestow upon a lucky purchaser my first LeGare Circular Sock Machine. ‘Glenda’ is now living with another sock knitter and I know they will be very happy together. It has been with a bit of reluctance but I’ve sold the LeGare 47 I purchased 2 years ago. She has served me well. I’ve made over 300 pair of socks on her. 
She has been replaced with Clarise. Clarise is the upscale model made in the 1920’s by LeGare. I have been very fortunate to find one of those rare circular sock machines that was used very little in it’s early life. After spending a day using the Drimmel to ’sand’ off the original packing grease I have an almost new beautifully working machine.
Soon to join her will another. It seems I am to be in the commercial sock making business. So added to my 4 flat bed knitters I will now have 2 circular sock machines. I need a bigger studio!
