As I continued on my was I remembered an antique sock knitter I bought off of Ebay a few years ago. Here is a demonstration of a 1924 Gearhart Sock Knitting Machine:
When I had my knitting business, making hundreds of felt hats, some purses and bags, and Austrian style felted short jackets, I used a Studio LK 150 for the bulk of my pieces. I then seamed the pieces together using a graft that didn't show after felting. These two videos show the set-up and beginning use of a similar machine:
This last one is a home-made machine. I think this is cool just to watch!
Always in motion,
