This is the way I set up my machine, I use a junior size over the bed table, it's on wheels so I can take it from room to room (but not upstairs), I simply turn it around when I change from the small to large machine, it's also height adjustable and has room for my yarn winder and a clamp on light with magnifier, I have an under bench storage basket for nicks and knacks, I use my feet to balance it if needed, all in all it works for me I began using a circular knitting machine about a month ago and really enjoy it, thanks for looking.

Crochet, COVID and AI Art
I haven't been able to make or create any crochet projects recently because of the long-term effects of COVID.
How ever!
I thought I would share some AI-generated art that's related to crochet and which I did generate myself. Some of my favorites first.

Mosaic Suntastic Purse
This is the written pattern for the small version of my Mosaic Crochet "Suntastic" graph pattern, which I used in the making of a purse.
If you need to alter the graph for your project, add more or less st's to both sides evenly.
Here are the written instructions/pattern
Join at the end of each round.
