I’d love to have a go with it! Is there any plan to do any inductions or anything with it yet?

Incredible, so that we can get excited could you tell us what’s possible and what isn’t. Does it only do flat squares? Can it do different knitting patterns (stitches?)? How many different wools can it take? How easy was it to get it set up?

Thanks!

Simon.

Sure!!!
This is a video from one of the people who stated the whole ‘hacking the knitting machine’ a few years ago:

The machine is a little bit like a printer with pixel drawings but you can do some shaping as well but it’s manual, it take 3-4 ply yarn, otherwise called sport and sock yarn. Once you get the hang of it it’s easy! :grinning: but you have to follow the manual to the letter!

That looks amazing, all a bit too late for custom scarf Christmas presents, buy maybe next year.
