Mighty Knitty Machines
I am obsessed with knitting and with learning about knitting machines of all kinds. I seek out machines, rescue, clean, and analyze them because I want to know how they work (I guess being a scientist by trade helps).
The videos I post on my channel I make for knitting machines I service and test. I do that to preserve information about these wonderful machines and also to let my clients know that they will be getting a fully tested knitting machine.
I sell my machine on Etsy (Etsy.com/shop/MightyKnittyMachines). Also in my own shop (https://thoughtsandknits.com/store/)
Subscribe to my channel to be the first one to preview new machines in my shop.
All the knowledge I gain from this work I then collect into my own Knitting Machine Encyclopedia:
