My interest grew to a second machine another singer but this time one with a ribber. That took a lot of learning and stuff ups but I finally use it and it knits beautiful ribs. Both of these machine are standard gauge .
I longed to knit with the yarn I have so much of Australian 8 ply so I started searching again and came upon a 1980 Singer LK150 . I love it. It may not do all the special things that the punch card machines do nor ribbing but who cares I can make lace manually, rib manually and of course garter stitch is another story.
I have knit this summer top the lace part done on the machine and the top part by hand.
My big wish is to be lucky enough to find another second hand one so I can knit slightly larger projects. If anyone has one please feel free to contact me.
I haven't given up on my weaving or spinning i have just diverted for a while.
