I bought a Bond Elite a few months back. I tried it out when I first got it, and made a sort of square thing. It now sits in the garage, unused and unloved. Are they any good and should I persevere with it? I'm thinking of selling it back on Ebay - if you can't convince me that it's any good, then off it goes.....:suspect:

Medusa is the knitting machine expert, I believe. If she doesn't spot this thread, you might want to PM her :) .

Sorry Medusa; that's two from the Knitting Group I've pointed in the direction of your bulging PM box this evening :lol: .

There's an article about a Bond Knitting machine from Knitty here (http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/FEATwin06KLM.html). I like the idea of doing the stockinette quickly on the machine and transferring it to needles for finishing. Hope it helps you decide! :)

I got given a knitting machine but I'm struggling to get it cast on and then get it off the machine without it unravelling. I'm sure there must be an easy way to do it - i just don't know what!
