Someone mentioned a device called the Wonder Knitter. This device allows one to knit without any knitting experience. I thought I'd give it a try and see how it would do in making traditional garter ties.

I still have to add fringe but I'm quite amazed, this thing does an awesome job in just 15 minutes in the hands of someone who has never knitted in his life

I also saw some books on making knitted hose (including cabling). I bought wool yarn in green, navy, red, and black. Guess what I'm going to be doing today.
