Recently spent a month in the So Cal desert and me some wonderful knitters from BC. One had a vintage sock knitting
machine. Made me a pair of wonderful verigated socks. How do I go about locating one of these machines and then learn on it.
I just bought an adjustable wooden loom for knitting socks from the web site www.knittingboard.com they come with a how to dvd, instrustion paper & hook.
Fiber Inspirations also puts out nice sock looms. Their site was under construction yesterday though. I believe that if you just google "Fiber Inspirations sock loom" something should come up.
I got a sock loom with dvd and tool from Hobby Lobby, it runs around $25, but is reasonable with their 40% off coupon. I have not used it yet, but I know several ladies who swear by theirs.
Hi! I've seen circular sock machines on eBay quite a bit but they range from $600 to $1000!! Pretty pricey! There are also some fun videos on YouTube showing a sock machine in action (fast forward even!) They make it look so simple...I'm sure it's not!
Good Luck!
