Once upon a time there were books and glossy magazines featuring machine knitting patterns. Even if you can find these vintage publications, the styles and colors are dated. (and the hairstyles are sooo distracting )
These days machine knitters need to get creative in finding styles and inspiration for our knitting.
Let's explore some of the options you have for creating knitting patterns for updated styles that you will wear.

Hey everone - Matt here. We are getting close to starting!!
Lorrie B
I see what your saying, I think there was place to input your name the first time you joined
Betty E J
it does that to show what you typed as verse to the others conversations
Jean S
It's been a week...I actually got what Lorrie B meant...
Lorrie B
the application doesn't give you a choice

AnnP I've tried the arrow keys and the tab key, no joy
Lorrie B
I think your name will show on the right but others will show on the left to be easier to see the difference
Jean S
I've got the same question ...I always show on the right on my computer...

AnnP.How do I get my name on the left and above the message..
Jean S
It's so nice to be doing this today...Missed it last week
Betty E J

Ann Poprdan
Carol D

Sue Jalowiec
The countdown timer at the top of this page should reflect the time zone set on your computer ...
Jenny M B
It's 6 o'clock for us, Ann. I'm in Wales!

Sorry I should have put my name in - it's Ann Poprdan

Hi Sue. We are on daylight saving time in the UK so when do I sign in

Hoping BC at least gets rid of Daylight Savings Time by March. At least that is the plan...

I live in Phoenix and we don't change to Daylight savings time so It creates havoc

Sue Jalowiec
sorry for the confusion...
Lorrie B
We're just so anxious to see you!

The email specfically stated 10am for PST so maybe she changed to meeting time.
Sue Jalowiec
Hi! See you in about an hour!
Patricia H
Yes, I live in Central time which would be an hour for me
Lorrie B
I don't see Sue yet. I'm wondering if we are actually meeting in an hour from now. It's only 9AM in Pacific Time.
