+==Story so far==
-The knitter was recently "won" in an auction on a well-known auction site for £250.  The knitter is in Chesterfield and I'm currently arranging with the seller to go and collect it.  Hopefully this can be arranged for the weekend of 2-3 July, when I am next in the area.
+* Knitter won on a well-know auction site
+* Got a very strange look from the seller when I collected it "Is it...for you??!"
+* Briefly set up in Derby and ran for two minutes before the smoke escaped
+* Fault identified as a failed capacitor in the PSU.  Spare cap will be collected from a well-known high street electronics company on Tuesday 5th July
+* Should be delivered to the Space on Sunday 10th July
 Please could all pledges now be settled by transfer to the HackSpace account, with the unique reference "KNITTING".
