I've been looking for one since a friend of mine showed me a couple she had. I was feeding the need for knitting on flat beds at the time. Now that I look back I should have paid more attention to it.
This lady had owned a knitting machine business and was a reseller of the machines, also made repairs and taught on them. She told me about her store "Knitting Machines of NY" I think was the name. Her name was Edith Siano, and I was blessed to have known her. In the short time I knew her, she taught me lots. Edith died after a terrible accident during one of her cross -country drives from CA to PA.
I think of myself as her protege. I learn how to fix and maintain knitting machines. I helped her sell many of the items she had from her business stock.
Anyhow, when I think of circular sock knitting machines it brings back memories of her.
I recently came across one that seemed fairly priced and looked like it was complete. Lots of accessories included, a couple of cylinders and ribbers. So, I dove in and bought it. I was hoping it would arrive for me to play with this weekend, but alas it didn't arrive yet. I can say that I am very anxious for it's arrival.
So stay tuned for further updates on the progress I make with it.
