is there any kind of knitting machine I can program directly from my computer? Almost all of the ones I've researched (that don't cost thousands of dollars), require you to manipulate the needles by hand, even if you have software that generates a pattern. I'm interested in creating an art project that takes user input from a laptop and generates knitting patterns that can be sent directly to, and created by the machine. Ideally I could step away and just have it run in a gallery like setting without having to adjust the needles for each row, and it could make simple patterns

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!
