Ever since I started researching knitting I’ve been amazed with the antique knitting machines. Have you seen one in action before? They are just impressive to watch.

The cheap toy knitting machines have all had bad reviews about dropped stitches until this little one that Amazon suggested for me recently. I’ve wanted to try it out and I have to say it’s a success. Well, really I ended up with a long tube but it still worked well.

What really pushed me to try one was this amazing knitting clock and the wind powered knitter. I’ve played around with knitting looms but really my “need for speed” along with the lack of design options out weighed my desire to use the loom.

This toy knitting machine thing is rather fun to play with. In 1hr 15 min I knit up a scarf! Hoping for some other practical uses for it. Sock monkeys come to mind with the help of an i-cord knitter.
