Default knitting machines

I'm curious about knitting machines. I don't know anything about them but I've
seen some that appear to be small enough to use at home for certain projects.
Can one knit a small item such as a rectangle about 6 inches by 8 inches or
does the item have to be large?

Thanks

yes you can knit a rectangle the size you specified, or you can knit larger
items.
I've seen patterns to make socks, sweaters, afghans, scarf's, and hats to
make on a knitting machine, it is up to you what you want to make with it.
What is it that your looking to do on a knitting machine?

Hi,
I knit by machine and make things as varied as cot blankets to outfits to
wear at a wedding. There is a learning curve to the machines but once that
is done you can make almost anything you want. I am making a fairisle
sweater at present.
