A hole in the head

I need another crafting hobby like a hole in the head, but here I am.  Facing this in the craft room:
 
 
And loving it!!!  It's an antique circular sock machine - an AutoKnitter from Canada.  It's not officially mine, but it is on loan from friend to see if I like it.  If the auto knitter and I get along, it will hopefully come to live with me permanently. 
 
 
I'm waiting on a few supplies I have ordered, so I haven't made anything with it yet but hope to be cranking away very soon!

  1. Oh my! That looks complicated! I look forward to seeing the socks it makes. I know you will be a success using it!

    1. It has a bigger learning curve than I was expecting. I started a knitted tube (scarf) on it today, so we'll see how it goes.
