@meganL But they really ARE excellent at making tubes, and given that needle-knitting in a circle is quite awkward, I have found my knitting machines to be quite useful. But no, I have not used them to make socks.
I've made scarves, shawls, and beanies for the most part. I even made a large rectangular open-front poncho for myself. Knit four large tubes and then steeked them, and then joined them all together.

I’ve been noodling around with #MachineKnitting lately, and quietly thinking to myself that April would have been a better time to reinvigorate that enthusiasm, instead of coming into summer. Having said that, I spent winter doing some #handspinning and even made some things! Looking forward to playing with #ayab for #knittingMachines. I discovered that open source hardware through the @oshwassociation conference months back and finally have my hands on a machine to play with!

I don't have an issue with the plastic circular knitting machines being called knitting machines, but man, does it make it hard to find information on how to do knitting machine things on my Brother KH-830.

(Also, by the time I'm done swapping out parts, this is going to be the Knitting Machine of Theseus.)
