High Speed Hosiery Knitting

April 28th, 2010

A hand knitter would understand if told to “cast on 400 stitches and knit 2,200 rows” – but the time to do it would be a little more than the 3 minutes that a modern machine takes. And that’s for both legs  of the pair which is approaching 2 million stitches.
