I’ve finished restoring this wonderful vintage electric winder - the Simet winder.

Although it uses cones, yarn is a wound like a cake ball winder (up over the edges of the ball).

It’s now ready if needed for the upcoming #kcv2023 Knit City Vancouver Sep 23&24 (if we need to wind something quick - although the event does have a winding booth).

Finishing the straps on the prototype project in the works. Coming back to the project while much more is going on. Final project to be shared soon. :)

Working on a new project for the circular sock machine. Just because it’s round doesn’t mean it can _only_ make socks.

Dropping by Knit City Vancouver this weekend? Stop by our CSM demo at booth 12 and check out my newest project. Inspired by the free sewing pattern, I built this super soft fabric by making a long tube and constructing them into the project. https://tinyurl.com/bogjacket1 #knitsocial #knitcity #knitcitycanada #kvc22 #csmdemo #circularsockmachine #circularsockknittingmachine #csmlove (at Vancouver B.C.

We’re excited to be looking into this antique circular sock machine. It currently features a 56 and 72 needle slot cylinder and works by rotating the cylinder (not the cam shell on the outside). Pete Oswald confirmed that the cylinders themselves were usually made from lead. This machine (for when it was made) did not have a ribber, it featured a short stem weight with an extra weight puck, a V hook to work heels and toes and a special very early days Heel hold down tool. See a quick video online of what this machine looks like https://youtube.com/shorts/IV0R-8CcLu8?feature=share More info to come when more is available.
