This is a good idea. If you want to give a knitted shawl or scarf to a friend and you don't have time to do it in 1 weeks time. Use this machine then you can make a gift quickly. But of course if you knit it in a traditionally way, you can create lots of fancy patterns that machines cannot do it.

I thought of it as "cheating" at first too, but as I got closer to the holidays and had a LOT of knitting to do, I could see the benefits of this machine, even more so when someone contacted me and wanted to me make a 12-foot-long Dr. Who scarf.

I love this. It has so much potential for creating many types of garments

But I can see your point too. You can do much fancier, durable work by hand :) The thing is, some people, like my baby niece, aren't going to be able to see the difference :P Her mom will, but she tried to teach herself how to knit and have up! For now, I think I can cheat... hahaha.

Right..sorry, I forgot about that stuff, and I could see that one may get into knitting by owning one of these, yeah baby steps.

what store sale it in SF bay?

I disagree. If you chrank at a constant rate and make sure you have slack at the end of your line, it does just fine.

Keep in mind that not everyone has the capacity to use their hands in that way. Try kitting the old fashion way with arthritis or other problems. Also, using this machine could get a person interested in knitting with needles. Baby steps, baby steps.

What a coincidence. I bought mine last Thursday at Hobby Lobby with the 40% coupon - $39.99 - $16 = $23.99 (before tax). Best money I've spent in a long time.

He corrects himself later - 1000 stitches a minute. It really is fast. I just bought one a couple of days ago. |
