 I don't quite
remember how I happened on Country Rain's site, but I knew I
came to something that would warm my heart when I saw it,
like a friend's home.
I became enamored with the sock machine Donna featured,
called the Grey Ghost, and decided right then and there that
I needed to have him. I'm a beginner, but not new to needle
arts, and I'm thrilled to be learning this new craft on an
antique machine.
I'm also
intrigued by the tools that came with the machine and the
supplies offered; since sock-making has diversified over the
centuries, it's a great help to have someone to guide you
through the process.
Donna has been
very supportive of my needs and contacted me before I did
her to see how my work was going. I'd put my entire trust in
this company if you're looking to purchase an antique sock
machine.

Dear Donna,
Just a quick note to let
you know how much I appreciated your class.
From class I learned a
lot of "tricks" which have made my sock making much
easier. You are gifted in your teaching with patience
and understanding for the less knowledgeable. (and the
slow learner, which is myself) I never felt that you
pushed or hurried any of my lesson.
I do hope we can get
together again because I am sure you have more "tricks"
to share with me. Thanks again, Diane

| Your companion CD made it possible for me to be "up and
running" with my sock machine right away! Thank you for such
a useful tool. |
| I was very happy with the class. I just wish you lived
closer. |

I can’t thank Donna
Peters enough for her expertise in restoring a Gearhart sock
knitting machine for me.
Not only did she restore
the machine beautifully but she gave me lessons on its use,
starting with how to put it together. She has a calm,
supportive, teaching style that enabled me to begin knitting
socks in a very short time.
People who had seen the
machine in its black, dirty, grungy state wondered if the
“patient” would ever run again. It came back to me shiny
clean and ready to knit. '
She also supports her
machines by giving us information on techniques, websites,
list serves, and other related information in a “manual”
when the machine arrived at my home.
I am lucky, Donna lives
within an hour or so from me but I would travel much further
for her expertise and support. In our corner of the world
she has revitalized machines long kept in garages and attics
and brought an old craft into the 21st century.

| My machine is working
beautifully - so much better than it did when I first got
it. It's amazing to have it work so well!
I think you are one of
the most talented people out there working on sock
machines! If I were looking for another I would buy from
you - no hesitation.
These machines are a big
investment of money and you want one in perfect working
order. |

I
can't thank you enough for all your generosity. You are
exactly the kind of person I had hoped to come in
contact with when I started on this adventure. As a
teacher myself, I know how important it is to master the
basics before you start doing the complicated stuff, so
I will follow your instructions to the letter.
How exciting that you are going to publish an e-book!
Next thing you know, you'll be traveling around on the
teaching circuit!
I
hope to some day be in Indiana and be able to come visit
you, or perhaps make a convention.
