I came across this on YouTube tonight, and was absolutely fascinated. All those little pieces working perfectly. What a totally cool invention. https://youtu.be/7N7hsho4Sjg

Sock knitting machines are so fantastic! It's on my list to get one eventually. They run around $1k I think. There's a woman up here who makes the rounds with her machine to the village summer faires and home comings. They're so neat.

Very nice! There’s a group of women here who just started a small biz, Side Hustle Socks. They’ll crank up a tube for you; you get to put in afterthought heels and toes. They are doing classes on said heels and toes, too.

I like her technique for not having to do any sewing. I wouldn't crochet a small chain at the end but rather weave the end in. I'd also not snip off the scrap around the toe--I'd frog it off. But nice!

So what do I do!? Head right over to eBay to check out the sock knitting machines. Oooh, it's too tempting.

The socks are pretty, but that machine is 'way too much work. I'll buy my socks, thanks!

I sold one of these way too cheap back when I was in the antiques biz. Knew what it was, just not what the sock market was!!! One of our friend's mom makes a lot of socks on a sock maker. I would too if I could come upon another cheap!

My mom had several hand crank sock knitting machine and sold her socks for a few years. She got bored eventually - as she does with every hobby - and it was time to move onto the next thing!
