Nifty, but after all that, I would have really liked to see the finished product.

they could make that machine much more efficient if they put a bigger gear on the crank and a smaller gear on the crankshaft

That was so interesting.Thanks for posting it. I had heard of these machines before and wondered how they worked. I would love to try one. How did you find out how to operate it and do you need a pattern book? Did you find an instruction book somewhere?

I restore and sell a few of these each year. It takes awhile to learn the techniques to knit socks. I think it is easier then trying to figure out how to send you a private message with some details. ???

Shoot! This is great! Why don't they sell these at craft stores anymore??? Where do you get these?
