Incomplete sock machine
« on: November 30, 2014, 06:02:52 pm »
I have an old circular knitting machine , a sock machine .
Sadly there are parts missing .
The main body , the needle bed , the turning mechanism , row counter , are there , but no needles or mechanism for lifting the needles or the upright bar for the wool/cotton feed etc .
Such a shame as it will be just about impossible to find spare parts to get it working .
Once i get a look at a few old ones i may be able to make the parts as the are fairly simple machines , so once it is cleaned up i will oil and grease it up and then box it up . Would have been handy to have had a working one  .

Knowing you, you will make the parts and get it working. Just think of those lovely socks you can make

All out of handspun wool.
