After the heatwave, after the flood

Too hot to knit, then as soon as the weather cooled down, a burst inlet pipe in the kitchen brought all knitting to a halt for a couple of days.

I have been "playing" with a Reader, Hand & Co machine for a few weeks, on and off (mostly off).  This machine has an extra pattern dsik attached to the side, and twin feed for yarn, extra cam for the needle path. There only seems to be the one setting though It came to me in a very parlous state, totally seized, with the knitting attached.  It took the combined efforts of the gang (bribed by cake) to get it apart and the needles out, then yourse truly attacked it with more than one can of WD40.  Today was re-assembly day.  The gang was again bribed by cake as the full machine is too heavy for me to lift.
