Hi,I have a Felted Purse business and am suffering from Golfers elbow and thinking about purchasing a knitting machine to continue my business while my elbow heals. My question is this. Can any machine knit with 2 strands of worsted yarn at a time, since I knit most of my purses with 2 strands of yarn? Thanks, Sheila

Hello Linda,
I wanted to let you know my frozen shoulder is healed, and I am back in business. Had so much back-inventory, that I now have two local shops who carry my products.
I tried the manual knitting machine - it did not work out for me, and I returned it. I would really like to find a excellent electric knitting machine - I think you mentioned Brothers, but I have a difficult time finding them (possibly used) to purchase.
Really appreciate your support during my healing process.
Take care Ann

Ultimate knitting machine by: Ann
Hi Linda,
Thank you so much for responding : ) This was a knitting and crocheting business. Scarfs, ponchos, wraps, etc. The supplies were merely yarn, and I will not meet the minimum annual purchase amount due to my shoulder.
I thought at one time, if I limited my work to one hour or so per day, and stretched alot, maybe I would be okay. So I gave it a try, but my arm froze worse than before - so I have to stop for now. It can take two to three years - or more to heal a frozen shoulder, or so the doctor says.
The sweater machine is a challenge - many trials and errors to go through. So I'm taking a little break. I wish I had just bought my yarn at walmart, and not tried to push it. My advice to others is take it easy on your arm, and try out the knitting machines.
If I find a Brother on sale, or maybe find a demo to try, maybe it will be easier. Until then, I'll go back to the ultimate knitting machine in a week or so and keep trying. Thank you so much for your encouragement.
Take Care, Ann

Hi Ann,
Have you given any thought to writing and selling patterns? If you can knit and come up with some new easy patterns for beginners, I am sure you could than put together a beginners guide.
This would take the work off your shoulder and give you a means of income. Think of what you know about knitting and create an ebook. Maybe something like hints, tips and ideas for the beginner.
Let me know how you are doing and if I can be of any help.
Most of all heal. Do take care of that shoulder. My best Linda
