I have been swearing at this #vintage 1920's sock #knitting machine since Christmas of 2016. NOTHING would make it work. Of course, if one is given the wrong manual in a foreign language with it, and then one gets the same wrong manual in the same foreign manual when one tells the seller it's not the right one ... If it weren't for an accidental viewing of someone on YouTube advertising the same machine for sale, I might never have gotten the correct manual. What a difference the correct operating instructions make! 😜 . #serendipity #knittingmachine #sockknittingmachine #knittersofinstagram

New video being edited on our newest oldest CSM - a 1892 vintage Gearhart with rotating cylinder. It was lovingly refurbished by @chambordcsm twice! (Canada Post shipping dropped it -even protected as it was - and that broke the base - Dave fixed that!). This 56 and 72 cylinder machine did not come with a ribber and will now be part of our CSM demo kit at non-CSM events. Happy Halloween! A new pumpkin using the posted how to pattern and the remaining Opal orange/black color way. #csm #gearhart #rotatingcylinder #circularsockknittingmachine #sockknittingmachine #antiquesockmachine #knitting #karenramel (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck4umjurHFv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Loving these taller boot style socks made yesterday. No time to wash - tomorrow I’ll wear these size 8.5 women’s socks to work. Loving fall.

CSM learning moment… What is this cast on? (It’s the same style cast as used in flat bed machine knitting). You are seeing blue project yarn, yellow Ravel cord and burgundy scrap yarn with a hemostat clamp on the blue project yarn tail to keep tension (and keep the yarn tail easily available for work in a couple rows later). #csm #caston #circularsockknittingmachine #sockknittingmachine #antiquesockmachine #knitting #karenramel (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjynkoXPcwu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When I come across useful things I prefer to share in case it helps you as well! I love my 3.5” hemostats from Amazon/eBay. So versatile, precise and easy to use.

Sharing another shot of the machine in action. The gorgeous @chambordcsm AccuKnitter! Project sock on the machine: I’ve just raised all the back cylinder needles (deep heel +4 needles on both side of this 72 slot cylinder), all the ribber needles on the top of the foot are in the first of their two step movements for “Parking the Ribber” - next step will be to remove the ribber setup and put aside, lay the ribber needles on the inside then work the Deep Heel of this cuff down sock. I prefer to park the ribber on Heels/Toes. Not sure what I just said? If you have a CSM with a Ribber take it one step at a time - still help? See my website or email me. :) #csm #ewrap #circularsockknittingmachine #sockknittingmachine #antiquesockmachine #knitting #karenramel #chambordcsm #chambordcsmaccuknitter (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjwzF_vOzjL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
