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.
