Could one cast on a provisional cast on using knitting needles and then move the stitches to the “teeth” of your machine? Would a long-tail or cable cast on give a more stable starting edge?

Earl grey, hot.

This loom hurts my brain. I need to see it in action. It looks awesome!

Yes you could do that. I have been doing that. But I wanted to make it really simple so I made a provisional weave cast on. You can just chain the edge when you are done.

Is it posted yet? Interested parties want to know. I showed the photos to a friend of mine who is also a spinner. She’s interested in seeing it in action.

No pressure, mind you…

No, I kinda have to wait. Meeting with the lawyer this morning because I am not sure whether I can actually sell these while the application is in the works. :frowning:

If you mean patent lawyer, you can’t. Until it reaches a certain stage if you offer it for sale, then it invalidates your application.

That is correct. Talked with the lawyer today. All good, glad I checked with him. Fingers crossed that it doesn’t take forever to hear back! LOL

Even beyond that, exposing it in public generally makes it much more difficult as the clock for filing starts. This post would count as public exposure.

BRILLIANT! Beats hand knitting which I do and takes up a lot less space than my knitting machine. I LOVE your creative mind and creative process in general. Thanks for inspiring!

Thank you! Yeah, this actually started out as a knitting machine but I was making it too complicated. Had to simplify. The best part, it can be any length, you just add as many stitches as you want. :slight_smile:
