IMG_8855 We are slowly melting the snow from the big storm last week. Hopefully the resort looks less white in a few days. We have warmer temps and rain headed our way and that should hurry up the melting. I think Steve is taking the plow off for the last time this week. Hopefully that is a good sign. IMG_8851 I was not taking the steps to the beach for lake pics this morning. It was slippery and snow covered and I did not want to break my ankle. So no beach pics till the steps are clearer IMG_8850 I shot this picture from the top of the steps. The lake should be much darker in a few days when the rain comes in IMG_8835 I had the chance to purchase 5 sock machines last week. They arrived and I am sorting them out. That brings my total machines to 10 4 of them will be going for sale as soon as I get them oiled up and cleaned. The one in the middle of the picture I am going to keep it is from 1893 - 1897 it will be on display in my office as my oldest sock machine. The one in the box in the back of the picture is a treasure. It is at Lamb flat bed machine from 1870's I will also be keeping that one and hopefully have it knitting this summer. IMG_8841 This is one of the 4 that will be going for sale. It is a Gearhart from probably 1914 - 1920ish. If interested in the knitting machines send me a message. I do not know pricing on them yet until I see how many ribbers, cylinders and dials each one will have. When I sell them I will also give a lesson in how to use one and make a sock. They will be in the 1000 dollar range depending on how many accessories each has. These machines were headed to a scrap heap until the owner of them saw my article in the Our Wisconsin magazine and called me with the collection his dad had in the garage in Milwaukee IMG_8854 Hopefully this scene with snow is gone soon and campfires come back I have just listed June 1 - 8th remaining cabins can be booked nightly I have Wigwam, Norway and Eagles Nest open check out www.blackscliff.com for prices or call 715 356 3018 details under availability.
