You know how much I love Marilyn my steamer. Marilyn was a game changer in my life of knitting. All of my knitting went from homemade to handmade from amateur to professional from intermediate to advanced. Marilyn has been with me through 80 Survivor Shawls and so many other treasures I can't even count them. She has made everything I have knit better. Let me introduce you to the newest member of the Stash Studio family.
On the right is Marilyn and on the left is Madonna, my new steamer. Madonna is an equally "hot mama." Marilyn is around 20 years old. She works just like the first day I bought her. Why, you might ask, do I need to buy another steamer?
Marilyn is going to live with Ann at Ann's By Design. All of the knitting teachers love Marilyn. I can't teach a class without her but I have personal steaming I want to do at home. I don't want to drive to Ann's (even though I love Ann's) every time I want to steam something. Usually, Dick helps me lug Marilyn back and forth but since his surgery he has been limited to first 10 now 20 pounds of lifting. It really got to be too much for me. So, I bought a new steamer for me, Madonna, and sent Marilyn to Ann's to live. Everybody is very happy.
Madonna is very much like Marilyn with a few of improvements. Her tank is a pretty beige and grey flecked, all of the couplings have been improved AND Madonna comes with her own little funnel. What a great idea! I don't know how many times I've spilled water all over by missing the opening for water. Madonna also heats up much quicker. Without Dick's surgery, I probably never would have realized I needed the second steamer. In 2016, I could buy Madonna on Amazon. When I bought Marilyn, I had to go through a supply company for dry cleaners.
I feel like I have one less stress in my life, and that is always a good thing.
