I heard people talk about this thing, eBay sock knitting machine. What’s that? Sounds like a good thing. I wanna know what’s that for. I think maybe I can use it, but I am not sure.
What is this eBay sock knitting machine?
This thing, it’s a machine. You can use it to make socks. They say it’s easy. You just turn and turn, and the socks come out. I saw some people use it, looks simple. I don’t know, I wanna try.
Some people say you can use any yarn. Thick yarn, thin yarn, all can use. That’s good. I have some yarn at home. Leftover from before. Maybe I can use them all up.
How to use it?
I saw on the internet, it says eBay has many. Some are old, some are new. Old ones maybe not so good. New ones are better, I think. But I don’t know which one is good.
They say you need to put the yarn in. Then turn the handle. Round and round. Then the sock knitting machine will do the job. I think, maybe, it’s like those old sewing machines. But for socks. Maybe I can also make scarves.
eBay has a lot of them
- Some are big.
- Some are small.
- Some have many needles.
- Some have fewer needles.
I don’t know what those needles are for. Maybe more needles, faster socks? I need to ask someone who knows.
I saw this one, micro quick release clasp band. What’s that? It sounds very difficult. For sure I don’t know how to use it. Maybe it’s for young people. They know these things. For me I don’t want too complicated things.
And this one, it says 22 needles. Can make hats, scarves. Not just socks. That’s good. More things to make. Maybe I can make for my grandkids, they will be happy.
Cork Screw Cast On Sock, what’s this? Cork, like for wine? I don’t get it. But it says you can hang weights. What weights? Why need weights? I am so confused now.
But you know what? They say this machine, old ones are not always good. Even if they are old, maybe not worth much. If you just want to use it to make socks, don’t get the old ones. Get a good new one. They say on eBay, you need to find a good seller. Someone who sells good things. This is important.
This machine can use any yarn
That’s what they say. Any yarn. Cotton, wool, that colorful one, all can. I like that. I have so many leftover yarns. All different colors. Now I can use them all. Make colorful socks. Maybe I can even sell some socks. Make some money. That will be good.
But they say, this thing, it’s not easy. Machine knitting, it’s hard. You need to learn. Need time. Need to practice. A lot. Like when I first learned to use the sewing machine. Took me a long time. But I learned. So maybe I can learn this too.
They say there’s a book. Instruction book. But sometimes the book is missing. Then you need to search on the internet. But the internet, so many things. Hard to find what you need. And so many videos. I don’t know which one to watch. It is not easy for old people like me.
This is a circular sock machine
They call it CSM. Circular sock machine. It knits in a round, not flat. I saw it, it’s like a tube. The sock comes out like a tube. Then you need to close the end. I think I can do that. I can sew.
This machine, it’s only for socks, they say. And maybe scarves, as some people say. Cannot make other things. Like sweaters. That’s too bad. But socks are good. Everyone needs socks. Especially in winter. Warm socks are good.
I really want to try this eBay sock knitting machine. But I need to find someone who can teach me. Maybe my neighbor. She knows these things. She always makes things. Knitting, crocheting. She’s good. I will ask her.
If I can learn, I will make many socks. For my family. For my grandkids. For everyone. Colorful socks. Warm socks. Everyone will be happy. And maybe, I can sell some. Make some money for myself. That will be very good.
