A knitting machine
can be extremely useful:
admire the hammock.
I had an email exchange with Cass of Cass Knits and mentioned I sometimes used a knitting machine. She said she never understood why anyone would want a machine. So, I pointed out there are things you can do quickly on a machine that would be insane to knit by hand.
If you own a bulky knitting machine, there is a pattern available at knitting any way.
Now, Cass (or anyone else) I challenge you to knit one of these puppies by hand!

Oh, that is funny!!! Hehe, you are correct, that would be an endless project by hand.

Shoot, I want to get a knitting machine so that I might actually finish a sweater for myself. hehe I’ve got 3 or 4 of them in various stages of neglect hidden around my house. hahaha

You are utterly correct. And as much as I love handknitting, I do own a knitting machine (or at least the el-cheapo craft store version of one, the Bond USM), and use it from time to time to turn out a project that is something I’d like to have as a finished item but would rather not have than (actually, usually, would rather instead shove the needles up under my fingernails than) be required to knit by hand. This certainly qualifies.

Thanks so much for the link and the idea! My daughter just knit one of these, and we love it!
