greyliliyI bought a Sentro 48 pin circular knitting machine. I used it a little last night and it is so fast. Lol. I love it.
As much as I love crochet, knitting has always been one of those things where I really like the look, and I know how to do it, but I am really slow at it. I've never gotten the hang of speed knitting because the only way I can consistently knit with the same tension and stitches is with the throw method (I wrap the yarn around the needle from the right).
I've dabbled a little bit in loom knitting (small kid craft kits), but never bought a full sized ring becuase it looked just as tedious as hand knitting.
ENTER THE SENTRO.
It's circular loom knitting but automated and I can already tell I'm going to have fun with it. I have already planned out getting a smaller one for socks later down the line. Ha ha ha ha.
Actual knitting machines are something I've thought about (because once more, faster), but man are those big flatbed things complicated. Looking at the instructions for them makes my head spin. Video tutorials, too.
I'll stick with the cheap loom knitting for now. XD
