Snowgoose,
Thank you for your feedback. You are right and I was thinking today I must take a class in using a knitting machine correctly so I won't get frustrated with all the patterns and be able to complete a project. They have classes in ny at the fashion schools; I will check into it around here in the burbs of CT. I enjoy hand knitting for the pleasure and rest; but as you said, some of the more sophisticated machines do have the potential for income; it's a matter of finding where one can sell them. I will check out the stores which carry machines for classes or a used one. I learned to actually spin wool when I lived in New Zealand; now that's painstaking. Check out rumples profile; she has some lovely hand knitted items there. Peace, happy knitting
