bought my first Bond/ISM after watching the infomercial and have now worked
my way up to three Bonds, a Bond ribber, an Elite and ribber, and four Knitsmart
machines. Just recently I also added an Ultimate Sweater Machine to my little
collection. Then there are two Studio machines, a punch card, an electronic
model, and my latest acquisition, a Brother machine with a garter carriage.
Very interesting to watch this accessory move along slowly as it produces
both knit and purl stitches by itself and on the same row. But that's another
- standard gauge - chapter! :) I'm embarrassed to say that I cannot show
off lots of finished projects as I seem to be making mostly samples.....it's
not my fault, honest, it's just whenever someone on the Bond list mentions
this or that technique..... I have to go to and try it out! So dig through
my samples and maybe you'll find one you'd like to try!!<BR>

Legos at your house as we do, you could make this 7-EON multiple

with two 7-EON transfer tools. They help put the stitches back on
the needles and can also be used alone to make allover eyelet patterns.
