[Nfb-krafters-korner] Ramona knitting machine

[Blindhands at aol.com]

There are not many double bedded Knitting machines  out there for home  
use.  The Passive is 1 of them and is a double bedded machine not made for  the 
heavy or bulky weight yarns.  I had really wanted to get a passive  
knitting machine when I was so discouraged  going to a sighted knitting  machine 
teacher and taking instructions or an introduction from her.

I think  it is a single bed machine.  I don't know what a double bed 
machine  
would be.
