Help, I'm dizzy!
I set a new personal record today - I've cranked 6 complete pairs of
socks on the sock machine. I was out a good part of the day running errands and choosing new spectacles (finally, after a year of warped frames I'm getting NEW GLASSES!) but still got 12 darned socks cranked. Now to go do all that grafting! *bleh* |

Congrats. I hope at least a couple of pair are for you. Where did you get your
machine? Dora Wooly I set a new personal record today - I've cranked 6 complete pairs of socks on the sock machine.

Now to go do all that grafting! *bleh* Well that sounds like me....I have knitted many bags for felting, some have been felted and some still need to be felted dyed and finished. Lining and braided straps is the hard work, not the knitting, at least that is what I find. It is the finishing that takes all the work. slow down have a cup of tea settle in and get your needle out and start the kitchener grafting. I am itching to get my hands on a good sock knitting machine. Els -- hate spam not welcome |

I bought my sock machine from a gal who got it off of Ebay. It works
great EXCEPT I can't get the ribber working on a reliable basis. So I make hemtop socks with or without a picot edge, and I make mock-ribs to help improve fit around the ankle on the 72-slot cylinder. Overall I'd say its a good investment. I still handknit socks (always will) for myself, since I'm picking about the heel and ankle, but the socks off of the CSM are nothing to sneeze at. I've been selling them at farmers' market and a couple of shows for $25-40 per pair depending on size and fiber content (the wool/silk blends are $50, actually). Its amazing the amount of money the yuppies around here will spend on socks *lol* On Sat, 20 Nov 2004 22:45:06 GMT, Wooly wrote: I set a new personal record today - I've cranked 6 complete pairs of socks on the sock machine.
