How -NOT- to knit Stockings with a Knitting Machine! || Historical Knitting & Struggling

I really wanted to make a pair of cotton stockings on my knitting machine, like the stocking frame workers, but I really struggled. I think I got very close, but I haven't given up! I'll be using this machine for another upcoming project to knit some more stockings :)

Engineering knits is a place for people who enjoy all kinds of vintage and antique crafts - from sewing to knitting, crochet to embroidery I like to try it all. I definitely have a preference for historical fibre crafts, and it is my dream to one day make an entire outfit from sheep to sweater. I hope you enjoy watching me and my favorite companion, Nutella, struggle through some fascinating projects!
