There are numerous types of knitting machines, ranging from simple spool or board templates with no moving parts to highly complex mechanisms controlled by electronics. All, however, produce various types of knitted fabrics, usually either flat or tubular, and of varying degrees of complexity. Pattern stitches can be selected by hand manipulation of the needles, push-buttons and dials, mechanical punch cards, or electronic pattern reading devices and computers. =Challenges= =Approaches= yM4Rb0DTyKU w7zp0hTim88 2y1gakl4IEw * [[https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5888030|Thingiverse: DIY Circular knitting machine]] * [[https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4725935|Thingiverse: sock knitting machine RSM2]] * [[https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6160954|Thingiverse: Sock knitting machine (csm) by Joshua De Lisle]] =Development targets= =References= * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knitting_machine|Wikipedia: Knitting machine]] * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_knitting|Wikipedia: Circular knitting]] * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loom|Wikipedia: Loom]]
