Studio, a/k/a Singer, a/k/a Silver Reed with punchcard capabilities did/does accept a ribber, but it would have to be matched to the main bed, that is, the right model ribber. Fortunately, you can still find such things through the magic of the Internet. ;-) If a person were so inclined, which I suspect you may not be. If you ran into a machine knitter in your neck of the woods, and were infected with her/his enthusiasm, it could happen....
Hmmm, I love to sew, machine embroider, do yardwork, cook, remodel my house, read, travel, play with my grandchildren, surf the internet,... I don't see how I can possibly squeeze yet another obsession into my schedule. However, just to please you, I'll go dig out the knitting machine and see if I can google some information about adding a ribber to it. That would make it a very much more desirable toy....
One of the things I liked about hand knitting was the ability to do it while "watching" TV. It felt very much like I was actually getting something accomplished. :-}
Thank you for this information. I have just ordered the DVD of Threads. New to list. Cathy
Got an email from Taunton today. :) 50% off selected books.
NAYY. But if there's anything other than fabric I'll encourage a pal to buy, it's books. lol

The gator scarf is lots of fun, and very easy to do. I'll share my dirty little secret-i bought the kit two years ago and never even opened the directions...convinced that it was beyond me. surprize surprize...pretty darn simple! all knitting, just increases, decreases and binding off !

This is really a "Me, too" note, Sharon. All my family enjoys reading, except for the youngest son his wife and the oldest DD, the 12-YO. On the other hand, their 2-YO will choose a book to play with, instead of a toy---is that strange or not?
Emily
lol Well it's not strange for my family!! When DD was that age, she would play with us for a little while, then she would wander off by herself. We would, of course, look to see what she was doing. The entire bottom shelf of one bookcase was for her books. She would sit facing the bookcase, with her back to us and read her books. We could hear her naming off the animals in the book and making all the sounds the animals make. (what we would do with picture books like that when we read to her.) She's still a huge reader. (DS reads very well, but it's not his first option to fill some free time.) Being good readers has served both of them really well in school. :)

People who can read can do almost anything. People who don't or can't read are severely limited in possibilities.
