Archive of Thread: 9 days later - sample knitting Back

This is sample knitting.

You probably have been wondering how long does she need to fiddle with that new knitting machine of hers to make something? As a life long hand knitter this is a different world to me. Lots of videos, reading manual, asking questions on FB pages & machine knitter’s website. Have machine 9 days. This is unblocked, 118 rows (photo doesn’t capture all rows). That doesn’t include the waste yarn cast on, a ravel cord then the real knitting started (yellow then blue yarn).

Took 2 hrs. Don’t know if that’s fast or slow but for me, handknitting 118 rows would take more than 2 hrs while watching (distracting) TV.

That’s beautiful! I have been machine knitting for about 2-3 years now. I arthritis etc so handwork is difficult. I love it because I can actually finish projects! Take your time, knit at your own speed & enjoy! This site is amazing & everyone is helpful. 
Have fun!
