See a circular sock knitting machine being used to knit a sock. This video is to support an article to be published in the fall issue of 'Spin-Off' magazine, an Interweave Press publication. In it you will see how short and long rows are formed to knit the sock, heel and toe.

Do you ever use handspun yarn with it?

If the machine is working well and one knows how a sock is made from start to finish and one does not drop a stitch, that the yarn does not break and is correct for the machine then a sock can be done in 15 minutes. Of course one has to close the toe by hand using kitchener stitch and this can take longer than making the whole sock. My quickest time on a 60 cylinder 30 ribber was 20 mins but I prefer to take my time - less mistakes can happen plus - less rush more fun.

Price depends on many factors including rarity, number of cylinders, ribbers and accessories included.The biggest factor seems to be how much you want a machine and how much you are prepared to pay to get one.

Prices vary, machines can generally be found on ebay. Although they may turn up in antique stores, estate sales, you would be fortunate to find one without a lot of luck and effort. There is a manufacturer of new machines in New Zealand. A search on the internet will give you a good start. A working machine may cost any amount, from as little as couple of hundred dollars up to a couple of thousand dollars.

I had to choose sound or video length. I will do another soon, perhaps in two segments with talking when time allows. Thanks for the feed back.
