An interesting meeting on Circular Knitting. Frances demonstrate the technique using a standard Brother machine with a ribber. Most members have a suitable machine and could emulate the things that Frances showed us.
Lyn brought along her Addi Express King size which can make scarves, hats and other items. For machine knitters this was the first time this circular machine had been demonstrated at club and there was some interest – however the limitations were apparent to everyone familiar with knitting machines as there was no tension facility and so only a limited number of yarn weights could be used successfully. That said, it is very easy to use and ideal for those knitting large volumes of hats and scarves for family and friends or for charity.
