Store Message
Thanks everyone for your support of our custom knits. We look forward to 2024 being a great year here at The Knit Tree. As Sharon Nani, owner, prepares for retirement, she is training her son, Ken to knit the items in the online store, plus the ones that were removed. Ken is going to take over The Knit Tree and its equipment so we can continue to offer these unique custom knits to our customers. Ken is not new to machine knitting - he earned his high school and college spending money by filling orders back in the 1990's, and has continued to help in maintaining the equipment. Ken is creative in his own rights with his "Custom Wood and Land Works" business where he falls the timber, prepares the lumber and creates unique wood items and projects: custom storage sheds, fences, decks ect. So we may add new catagories to this web site when the time arrives. SO LOOK FORWARD TO ADDING THE CAMO KNITS BACK INTO THE ONLINE STORE THIS YEAR.
I am on a Mission. I posted the next two articles I wrote for Machine Knit America on The Knit Tree’s article page in pdf format under the Yarn Information Category. http://www.theknittree.com/articles.html
Article #9 “Polishing up with Stabilizing Agents” was written about knitting with monofil, sewing thread, elastic, and lycra®. Remember this was written in 1994 before digital cameras were in full swing. http://www.theknittree.com/documents/9mkav4n294_lycra1.pdf
Since I sell the lycra®. in my online store, I already updated this article with photos – so you can check out the updated version with photos http://theknittree.com/lycra.html
http://www.theknittree.com/documents/10mkav4n394_lycra2.pdf
along with the published version with no photos, so I can wet your appetite to look forward to the other 23 published Machine Knit America articles to be updated with photos. The 10th Article was a practical application of using lycra®. in waistbands. Read more about lycra® in the product description at my online store. http://www.theknittree.com/…/spandex-stabilizer-lycra-trade…
lycra®. lycra® is used by machine knitters, Circular Sock Machine knitters, hand knitters and other crafts people to add that professional polish to their products.
