Hi Rene,

a knitting machine looks like a long piece of plastic with lots of latch 
hooks coming off the front of it.  The yarn is pulled through loops, as in 
knitting, by moving a carriage from left to right across the latch hooks. 
The carriage has a groove in its center which holds the yarn in position so 
that it can be caught in each latch (or needle) as it passes from side to 
side.  The basic product is a fabric which is stockinette stitch.  Hope this 
helps.
