Homemade Knitting Machine

If you want to learn how to machine knit but don't have one then why not try making a homemade knitting machine? Using some card and lollipop sticks you can make a table top knitting loom that will create similar knits to those made on a domestic knitting machine. Once you have made a homemade knitting machine why not try making another but this time using things found around your home e.g. forks, combs, pens. See how a machine made from different materials changes your knits.

To invent your own machine, you will need:

- A bunch of sticks (i.e. chopsticks, kebab sticks, ends of cutlery, toilet roll tubes..). Try using different sized sticks within one machine!

- Some way of attaching the sticks to the table (i.e. sellotape, heavy books, blu tak, plasticine..)

- Something to attach to your knitting to weigh it down (i.e. hair crocodile clips/bulldog clips, socks filled with stones..)

- Some sort of yarn (i.e. see the videos here on how to make yarn out of household stuff..)
