Knitting Machines

Mar 27, 2005 1 Replies

My DMIL gave me her knitting machine. It is German as is she. She gave me a big bag of fine yarn to use with it. It is fine sport weight or even baby weight. If anyone is familiar with these contraptions I can look for the brand. I kind of want to use it since I love knit sweaters and have 3 grown daughters and 1 grown granddaughter to make stuff for if I were so inclined. I am a crocheter and embroiderer, not a knitter. Any good web sites that may be helpful would be great, too.

Naomah, You might check out the All_Time_Vintage_Manual_Knit_Mach snipped-for-privacy@yahoogroups.com, as well as BrotherKnittingMachines&yahoogroups.com. If it is a metal bed machine, it could be a Brother, Emprisal, Passap, or one of many others that have been made in the past so they would stand the test of time. Also, check out the knitting machines for sale on EBAY; you might see one that looks like yours, or tools yours needs. Take the DOG out to reply direct if you have further questions I might be able to answer, as I do not generally read this newsgroup. Regards, Carey in MA
