Oh! You make the most wondrous things! Christmas buildings that hold bottles of booze and now this?! Gasp, be still my heart.
I it!!

Oh that is really nifty!
I have one of the big knitting machines that will power itself, but this looks so cool because I can see the stitches on it, and they are held in place in case you goof up or drop one.
I Need This! Thanks for showing us!
Marvelous! Looking forward to seeing that video.
Haha. I think it’s because of the booze! Lol
You never cease to astound me with your design powers! This is awesome. I haven’t been able to knit for about 20 years and I still miss it. This might let me do something again!
Thank you! It really is easy. The hardest part is casting on. I am still trying to come up with an easier way to do it. Lol
Inquiring minds want to know: how wide will this fantastical device knit?
Not blocked, 12” it will be a little wider once blocked. I am working on making it longer. this is 40 stitches.
You are probably waaaaaay ahead of me on this, but with a commercial knitting machine, one way is to start on the R and make backwards “e” loops. Work your way from R to L to the end, then start the regular knitting sequence.
Does that make sense? Would it work on this device?
Yes it does. But the issue is that you can move the needles out once the shuttle knit the first row and go until you can weight it. These disks are stationary so I have been experimenting with a chain cast on. I think I figured it out. It’s the hardest part about using this loom. I am trying to make it as simple as possible. right now it’s a pain. Lol
Fantastic idea! I love it. I’d buy one too.
I figured it out. The simplest way to cast on. The “woven cast on” took about 3 mins. Now time to finish instructions! Haha
Looks like a nice, finished edge, too.
It’s just a provisional cast on. You can take it out and put a chain edge when you are done. Glad that’s over! Haha 2 days of playing with knots. Haha
Great idea. But do you mean crochet? That’s a crochet needle in the picture. I only say this because my wife and daughter crochet and yell at me when I call it knitting
No…I mean knitting. Haha ! You are just using the crochet needle to move the yarn. This is basically an endless knitting loom.
Way cool! And guessing it only took 25 minutes to design cut and assemble?
It took months doing it the wrong way to design. But as for cutting about an hour. Assembly is about 20 mins.
I just wish I had the imagination to design things.
@designvh619 congratulations on you ingenuity and perseverance!
I have only a vague idea of what I am looking at, so could you please post a short video for those of us who are visual learners. Thanks.
