Want. Take. Have.
Someone over in the knitting community just got an antique sock knitting machine. Here’s what one does.
I desperately require one of these for my continued existence on this planet. You may leave it in a box on the front stoop. Thank you.
I found a couple on eBay. Sadly, they’re out of my price range, but I recommend setting up a “Get Tvini One of These” fund!

There are no modern sock knitting machines for household use. They fell out of use by WWII, since they were primarily used for cottage industry. Households would knit socks on their machines and sell them to distributors, who would them send the household more yarn to make more socks with.

Hee! Cheapest I saw one was $450, and that one was pretty grungy.
