First knitting machine - recommendations?

[janeka]

Greetings, fellow knitters!

Currently I'm toying with the idea of buying a knitting machine - I am a slow knitter, unfortunately, so I'd like to make sweaters w/o having to wait a year (or even two! shame on me) to see the finished product. I did my research and found out that such machines are quite popular, though I've never heard of them before. So I don't know where to start. I was curious if anyone had any pointers? Which specs should I look for in a knitting machine?

Hello and welcome to FiberKind! I don’t own a knitting machine myself, just wanted to take a moment to welcome you. :-)

Thanks for your warm welcome, Char! I really appreciate this

I've looked at them different times as well, but I've never actually bought one. It will be interesting to see what others have tried!
