Cindy, I don't know how a knitting machine class would work. Certainly, I
am not ready to teach one. Becky has more experience. They are expensive,
and I am not quite sure how much they vary, but quite a bit. We could have
another discussion about them. I am certainly having a great time with
mine. I do knit the beginning and the end by hand, and I need to learn more
about crochet to finish the edges of things I want to lay flat. Right now I
can use the seed stitch, and I can sew edges into seams as in sweaters, but
it would be good to have another alternative. I think combining various
techniques is probably something that is good in a lot of projects if we
know enough different skills. I'm still more the learner than the teacher.
