What have I got?
I've received, courtesy of Freecycle, a Jones DeLuxe KH-800 knitting machine. The donor also got it from Freecycle but never used it because it seemed too complicated, so she couldn't tell me anything about it except that the woman who gave it to her advised her to take classes to learn how to use it. I'd be very grateful for any and all information about this machine and its suitability for a beginning machine knitter. Is it easy to use or so complicated and temperamental that it'll put me off knitting machines for ever? If the latter, what should I look for in a knitting machine? - I'm hoping to get a second-hand one to see how I get on with them. Does the Jones have any little quirks that I need to be aware of? I learn pretty well from instructions and books and I do have the instruction manual that came with the machine but it seems to be a translation or at least not very well written - are there any generic knitting machine instructions on the net? ******** When I was at university we had something called a Party Seven. This was a tin containing seven pints of not-very-nice beer. Someone took it to a party and it didn't get opened because there were nicer things to drink. The party hosts took it to the next party and so on. That tin made the rounds of parties for years before someone got desperate enough to open it and drink the contents. I'm thinking that this knitting machine could be the Party Seven of Leeds Freecycle. :-) Sally Holmes Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England |
