Making progress - not socks yet.


Last Friday the Auto Knitter (a cylider sock knitting machine from 1923) arrived. So no need to ask what I have been doing this weekend! Yesterday we managed to become friends, and the scarf you can see here was the result!

Today I wanted to master the trade of knitting heels. It's difficult and you can see the progress so far.

There are lots of helpful owners on old and new knitting machines on the internet, and even some tutorial videos on YouTube. I know of no other sock knittin machine in Norway, so I appreciate helpers on the web.
I'll keep you posted on the progress!

Socks anyone?

Look what I just bought!
My Auto Knitter, that will turn out one pair of socs after the other, will have to travel from Canada to me in Norway. It's a miracle to me that all these parts (that I have to put together) will make beautiful warm socks! I can't wait to get my new old machine!
