Calling wor Chatelaine
I tried to sew a bit yesterday and my machine won’t play ball
The back of the sewing ie from the bobbin is all loops and double threads
I am using Gutterman thread and a plastic bobbin
Help to analyse and fix the problem please as I am useless at that sort of thing
M my rehab assistant thinks the plastic bobbin could be slipping

It sounds as though it isn’t threaded properly, Twellsy.
Clean it all out & start again, making sure that the bobbin race is free of all lint, etc. Use 2 different strong colours so that you can check problems with tension.
Make sure that the bobbin is the correct one for the machine, & that itizz in the right way round.
I am sure that Mr Wells can enlarge the relevant bits of the manual large enuff for you & or your rehab assistant to see what is happening. The batting order is really important, & itizz easy to miss a step.

No his is a petrol blue colour and I am halfway up the back of it
12mm needlles should knit the heavy super chunky wool up fast!
The pink/green number is just a bonus for me
Lucky thing that I am
I like the fact that that company uses the clip from Shetland and adds value that makes sure the local crofters get paid a proper price for their wool
Pity poor B though as she will be trying to keep me on the straight and narrow following the pattern

I couldn’t get my first choice so I went for a different yarn
I am not safe with a computer and a phone
I phone orders in as me+ debit card + computer to see websites is a recipe for disaster…

Just got more of my Valentine’s present
4 cables that are a metre long for my assorted needles and a test tube full of bodkins and a pair of 40cm knit pro 8mm needles
Am I the only one who is thrilled with being presented with posh knitting stuff?

A question for advanced knitters here
I have enough shetland aran weight wool to do this so I ask is it way beyond the beginner?
