No probs Lesley , i will most likely be able to work it out ? ? ?
The home type knitting machines would last about 5 minutes with me , i used an industrial one . They are basically the same thing but it takes 2 blokes to move one ! Very heavy duty and take a huge amount of abuse .
On one of those i could knit a jumper in about 30 minutes if i took my time .
When working though , you do say 15 backs then 15 fronts then 30 sleeves then 15 collars . They then go to the steam press , get steamed to even out size etc and then go to the overlocker to get put together .
You may be able to do other things while you knit Lesley , but i am a bloke , can barely manage one thing at a time , and if someone interupts and speaks " eh ? What ? , oh bugger !" complete meltdown .
Hey ho , way to go , eh ? What ? Lol .
