Knit a few rows with me 😉 (sorry it's jumpy - I held the phone while cranking) currently doing a 3x1 rib for a sock leg #clicketyclack #circularsockmachine #antiquesockmachine #crankingthemout #Ilovewhenshesinacooperativemood #handmadeholiday #csm #knitting

Just noted this stat on Instagram and wanted to share. It’s wonderful to help and inspire others. Please pay it forward. #csm #circularsockknittingmachine #sockknittingmachine #antiquesockmachine #knitting #karenramel (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkTrm9tPprG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

CSM learning moment… What is this cast on? (It’s the same style cast as used in flat bed machine knitting). You are seeing blue project yarn, yellow Ravel cord and burgundy scrap yarn with a hemostat clamp on the blue project yarn tail to keep tension (and keep the yarn tail easily available for work in a couple rows later). #csm #caston #circularsockknittingmachine #sockknittingmachine #antiquesockmachine #knitting #karenramel (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjynkoXPcwu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sharing another shot of the machine in action. The gorgeous @chambordcsm AccuKnitter! Project sock on the machine: I’ve just raised all the back cylinder needles (deep heel +4 needles on both side of this 72 slot cylinder), all the ribber needles on the top of the foot are in the first of their two step movements for “Parking the Ribber” - next step will be to remove the ribber setup and put aside, lay the ribber needles on the inside then work the Deep Heel of this cuff down sock. I prefer to park the ribber on Heels/Toes. Not sure what I just said? If you have a CSM with a Ribber take it one step at a time - still help? See my website or email me. :) #csm #ewrap #circularsockknittingmachine #sockknittingmachine #antiquesockmachine #knitting #karenramel #chambordcsm #chambordcsmaccuknitter (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjwzF_vOzjL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Getting back to socks on the CSM - these are the “Fold Over Cuff Down Scallop Ribbed Socks” - free video and easy pattern for those CSM persons with ribber experience! Video/Patterns can be found on my website under the menu “My Patterns and Videos” on the “Socks-Cuff Down”. https://www.csmlove.com/sockscd The beginning of this sock was featured in vintage sock machine manuals! My how times flies - my last worked socks were July 31st! #csm #cylinderneedles #circularsockknittingmachine #sockknittingmachine #antiquesockmachine #knitting #karenramel (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjwuIEkuJqr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

See today’s website blog entry on the task of improving reliable stitches on the Money Maker CSM. Will different needles help or is the solution simply to raise the cylinder in its mount slightly to better accommodate the slightly too tall Autoknitter needle? #csm #cylinderneedles #circularsockknittingmachine #sockknittingmachine #antiquesockmachine #knitting #karenramel (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjtFN-pp07E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Purl-side kitchenering (closing the open end) - the perfect easy road trip task as a passenger (coming home from the future in-laws). :) #csm #kitchener #circularsockknittingmachine #sockknittingmachine #antiquesockmachine #knitting #karenramel (at One Hundred Mile House, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjlYcfcvI9j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
