Knitting Machine

Hi Everyone.  I have a computerised  Passap Knitting machine and I have mastered the stitches and anything square or rectangular but cannot get it to do jumpers or shapes despite putting what the book tells me in the computer.  When I try to do a jumper it wants me to start casting off for the under arm after a couple of inches and I can't get out of it.  Can anyone give me some tips and tell me where I am going wrong.

Dog Travel Sickness

If any of you have pets who suffer from travel sickness, this is quite a good informative article.  http://www.pettravel.com/0001222.cfm.  My two Daschund dogs have suffered from it since the day we picked them up and the breeder said they were sick on their first trip and despite very expensive treatments from the vet, poor little  Pru gets really sick even on a short trip but Andy is getting better.  The vet said they would grow out of it hopefully but we don't take them in the car often as it isn't enjoyable for them.  I realize we will have to start taking them with us lots as we want to go on holidays soon and it would be nice if they were not sick.    If anyone has any good advice, please let me know.
