I ca...Navi, that's a very interesting comment. I can tell you that there have never been such wonderful deals on used machines. You can find a fantastic machine at a very low price today.<br /><br />One of the things we also have to do to keep machine knitting going is consider purchasing a new machine from a good dealer. It helps to support the remaining companies. <br /><br />I agree strongly, though, that people should not hoard machines. The different machines all have different capabilities and are fascinating; however, you can only really use a few machines and someone else could greatly benefit from acquiring a good used machine. Recently I have had to purchase some different machines so I can teach on them, but I'd really rather not have so many machines myself.Diana L.

That makes it a little less available for a younger generation who doesn't know anyone with a machine to teach them. Just my opinionNavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13827323718630291199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526470724880886986.post-64647469011317479582012-04-06T19:40:35.145-05:002012-04-06T19:40:35.145-05:00Yahoo!

Especially with internet giving access to yarn and youtube and yarn and patterns and did I already say "yarn"? I love looking at all the yarns available but I'd rather touch before I buy.<br />Anyhoo, the more I learn about MK, the better I like it. It is a challenge but at my age, I need all the brain work I can get to help keep me sharp!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526470724880886986.post-41385632608536876912012-04-03T17:25:02.018-05:002012-04-03T17:25:02.018-05:00Some say that MK is making a comeback.

Or, are we all just more connected & aware of each other through the internet?? so that it seems like there are more of us. I went for many years before the blogs etc. & only met a dozen other MK over the years. & I met them through the LYS. We have some new machines being manufactured that seem to be good dependable machines, & they are selling, so I guess it must be true.

Not that I don't love my lil KX350 and my 965i.<br />Take a knitting machine to the mall, set it up and start knitting. I betcha they would sell. With the right advertising anything can come back to life. Just look at hip huggers and bell bottoms?? Paisly prints?? It all makes the loop!<br />DeidreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526470724880886986.post-27173970394924576402012-04-02T07:07:52.808-05:002012-04-02T07:07:52.808-05:00I have a silver reed 150 and never really figured ...I have a silver reed 150 and never really figured it out, sizing and all.<br />You put a dishcloth on your blog with hand edging around it and I figured that out.
