While attending Kilt Kamp last year, I remember how fascinating the sock knitter was. It especially interested my husband who is so very mechanically-minded. He was interested enough to investigate buying a machine until I explained what a learning curve was, (not really, he was well aware of that). We will simply hope for a new pair from my sister's knitting this Christmas or the next (or sometime in the distant future!)
Oh yes! There are two of us ready to sign up for Kilt Kamp 2016 if it's in Victoria again.
