Judy P wrote:
Wow, ladies..I am so overwhelmed to see all the info..I was very hesitant to post in here, it being a non webtv group and only having a Bond knitting machine and feeling less then.. I am guilty of knitting to fast..Don't use side weights. A friend had told me about the forks..Still checking thrift stores, for forks?? Also, didn't pull the needles all the way forward.. Needless to say, that I have a lot to learn..I can't thank you enough for all the support..I was not trashing the machine..I love the idea of it..Just was telling my experience on the machine, so far..Far from giving up. I will be back.. judy Weights made for regular knitting machines work fine, but are a bit pricey. For circular sock knitting machines, lots of knitters are using old forks with the tines bent down to "grab" the knitting, then hanging weight on the bottom. Cheap forks are best since they bend easier, and if you can find the ones with a hole in the handle, all the better! The weight you add can be fishing weights or those big washers used for drapery weight. Your local hardware store can be your friend for these things - I would stay out of sporting goods stores just because it would cost more. -- Joanne stitches @ singerlady.reno.nv.us.earth.milky-way.com http://members.tripod.com/~bernardschopen/ |
