If you put a stitch marker or a rubber band on before you put on any yarn,
will that work, or will the marker get stuck in the machine?
I have been able to Google manuals for some stuff I've bought, and sometimes
they explain things in a helpful way.

Hello all,
I'm about to get a knitting machine. it's the singer knitting machine and
I'm getting it for five dollars which is really cheap. I looked up the
model and on Amazon Canada it costs $50-$60, and at Walmart it's about $24.
I figure if it doesn't work I'm only out five dollars but if it works it may
be able to teach me a fair amount so that later on if I want to I can invest
in something that does more and costs more. Also because I know no one that
machine knits, I don't even know if it is something a person who is blind
could do. I was wondering if any one on this list machine knits and if
they would be willing to give me any tips and-or techniques. One main
question that I have is how do you know when you have completed a row
because you just crank a handle? I know from watching videos on YouTube and
reading articles off of Pinterest some people who are cited will paint
their starting needle a different color. I am totally blind so that won't
work for me. Could you put a stitch marker on the needle you want to start
on and then feel the yarn as it goes by until you learn how much you have to
turn to make one row? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Daniella
