[Nfb-krafters-korner] Machine knitting

[Jean Menzies]

    Hi Becky,

I'd love to know more about knitting machines. Ever since I was very little, 
I thought it would be fun to use one. But I've never even seen one.

So, yours obviously is accessible. Are they all pretty accessible?

How intricate can you knit with one? Can you use a pattern with different 
kinds of stitches, or does a row have to be the same all the way across? 
What about things like yarnovers, knitting together, lacey work, etc.?

Just very curious.

Jean

Loren, remember the old fashion typewriters that when you pressed down a key 
magically somehow the right key of thirty something keys would hit your 
paper. Then at the end of the line you would throw the carriage and return 
to the left side of the paper. Well the knitting machine is kind of similar 
in that the machine is set up by me to use x number of needles. I take the 
carriage back and forth to make a row of knitting.  So that is how I keep 
track. I set up the machine and the carriage pretty much does the rest to 
keep those needles in line, smile.

Hi,
How in the world do you keep track of that many needles? Yikes, I didn't 
realize there were that many.
Thanks,
Lauren

Blessings in Jesus' name! 1 Corinthians 13 ► New Living Translation Love Is 
the Greatest 1If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but 
didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I 
had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and 
possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move 
mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3If I gave everything 
I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;a but 
if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
4Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5or 
rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no 
record of being wronged. 6It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices 
whenever the truth wins out. 7Love never gives up, never loses faith, is 
always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. … 13:Three things 
will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

I finally really looked and one of the subject lines included machine 
knitting. This is a whole other kind of knitting. It is using a piece of 
equipment to knit with a hundred or more needles. So definitely not needle 
nor loom knitting, warm smile.
