Q: I am looking for an automatic knitting machine that will work without an operator (something where I can leave it and come back later to a finished product). Does anyone know if these exist, and if so where I can get one? Also, what is the Automatic knitting machine price?
A: Oh yes, of course, there are electric knitting machines. They all just knit fabric — large sheets of knitted material, which you then have to cut and sew together into something. Because most pieces for a sweater, for example, require some shaping, you may need to keep an eye on it, or it will stop when it reaches a certain point to await further assistance from you. And then there are the large circular knitting machines which just knit tubes. These are for commercial use and can be very expensive, very large, and very heavy! That’s probably not what you are looking for.
What you can do is get a motor to fit on a knitting machine. You set the motor to knit the number of rows required and go away and do something else.
Brother do not manufacture knitting machines any more unfortunately. Brother machines are still available and you can buy a garter carriage which again you program the number of rows you want the garter carriage to knit and leave it to get on with the job.
There is not a knitting machine that you can leave to knit a jumper all by itself any more than you can get a sewing machine to make a dress.
