Homemade knitting machine video

I'm sorry but I couldn't help but post this brilliant video that I just saw on YouTube:


Isn't it great, a homemade knitting machine, yes I know it's slow and "real" knitting machines are way much faster, but it's a great diversification to expensive nowadays machines.

What do you think of it

Crochet a hat - part one

I already posted a video of how to crochet a hat, I decided to post another video split in three parts, because the person that crochetes the hat is a boy, personally I think that it's ok that males knit or crochet, in fact here in Italy it is fashion that some boys knit simple items like hats or scarves to gain some more pocket money:

Here's part one:



But, you what do you think, do you think it is ok that males knit, I'll put a poll up and feel free to let your opinion be known!

English rib- instructional video

Here's the video made by Susan, (see previous posts) which shows how to do english rib with and without the SRP-50 ribber, (many thanks to Susan), although in the video is mentioned as fisherman's rib, english rib and fisherman's rib look the same.
She's uses diffrent instructions but either you follow hers or mine, you'll get the same result:



Jennifer, I hope you'll find it useful!

comments on my posts are appreciated!

January project and my videos

Today I decided to start a new project, and since I haven't got a lot of "Modern Knitting" patterns for my 'new' 321, I decided to start a project from the Mary Weaver - Ribbing attachment book:

It's a basic dolman with variation, I'm doing the one at top, with lacy patterned sleeves, and judging from the drawing, the armholes start near the welt.
I'm a You tuber, so I'm going to leave you with the two videos that I have uploaded so far, using a cone winder and knitting a knit stitch english way:

Bye for now,
