Advice about buying a Knitting Machine? I'm a long time hand knitter who's frustrated by the insane amount of time it takes to make anything, especially garments. I've been thinking about a knitting machine for awhile. I wondered if there are any machine knitters out there who can give me a little advice about what machine, what things to look for in a machine, pretty much anything you can think of, because I'm a little clueless here. Here's the catch: I'm NOT paying over $200 for a machine, and would like to go WAY under that if possible. So far the only machine I've found in this price range is the Bond Ultimate Sweater Machine, which has really mixed reviews. If you have a Bond, I'd especially like to hear anything you have to say about it. Thanks everybody!
