Hello, my name is Andrea from Northern Ireland. I am an enthusiastic machine knitter but am interested in all things woollen. I am an active member of the NI Machine Knitters Guild which has renewed my interest in machine knitting. I own a standard Brother 940 electronic knitting machine and a Brother Chunky. I also hand knit and love looking at new wools and patterns.

Garter Cushion Cover
Hi, I eventually got a cushion filler for my knitted cushion cover. I knit it on my garter carriage in double knitting yarn using the Brother Stitchworld Pattern no 468 on my standard gauge machine. I cast on 104 stitches and knit 176 rows. I then put a marker on each end of the row and knit another 176 rows. Then I folded it in half and sewed up the 3 sides. I was really pleased with the result and as the yarn is double knitting, it is nice and thick. I have seen knitted cushion covers in the shops, so they are very much in fashion. I will have to do some more and it is a good way to use up my stash of DK wool.
