Kilts and Circular Sock Machines!

[Steve Ashton]

Hi Anne,

Yea, that is how it is done on a flat bed machine. Mine is a Passap E6000.

But I really need to practice more on my circular machine. It is so much easier. I have capability of 6 different colors in work at the same time and I don't ever need to transfer stitches off the machine onto hand knitting needles.
On a circular machine you simply raise the needles to make them idle. What is on them just sits there till you need it.

On a circular machine we knit in triangles. Then fill in between them. The process is actually quite simple I just need more practice to make a perfect sock.

And I may be lining up, Steve!

And I may be lining up, Steve!

Maybe at the next Kilt Kamp in Victoria (2016?), Steve will have this perfected enough that the participants could get custom made hose as a bonus prize! [KiltedKnome now ducks and runs from cover from The Wizard who will be swinging some of the "heel weights".....]
