I have been a sock knitter for quite awhile. When I first saw a circular sock knitting machine I was awestruck, but the price is rather prohibitive. Then today, this showed up in my email. CSK machine
I thought I would post this here for anyone else would like to try their hand at 3D printing and sock knitting. “Give a person a pair of socks and they will have happy feet for a year, teach a person to knit socks and give them happy feet for a lifetime” I think how that saying goes

There is a slew of additional parts beyond the printed ones… but does it make like… normal socks. Like I could wear them to work?

Is it possible to expand you design to make beanies?

Their are knitting machines that just make beanies. I had to look up on youtube after you asked that. I would think it would be easier to knit beanies than socks.
The machines are manual… but one of them has an adapter for a drill.

We have one in Textiles and I have seen it online with the drill attachment.
