How were the Victorians so fast at knitting socks? || A pair of socks in half an hour on a CSM

[@sandrarandle6221]

What a blast from the past,when I was a child in the nineteen fifties. I visited my great aunt who was born blind. She was kniting socks on a Victorian machine at her place of work. A workshop for the visually impaired. She sat in along line with other women also using a knitting machine. I was fascinated by the speed and skill all while chatting amongst themselves and singing along to the radio. I never expected to see a similar machine in action. Well done,regards Sandra x.

[@delphicdescant]

That's an amazing memory. Thanks for sharing.

[@tanyagarcia3721]

My friend and I were out over by the library where we live and ran into one lady who was blind crocheting a blanket as well. She only used a monochromatic color, I forget what color she used at the time, too work on the project. It was a fairly easy and simple stitch as well with a basic 5.5mm hook as well. The lady was pretty much going to town on it and had it a fairly good size by time we saw it and it was in a granny block

[@lilolmecj]

What a great memory!

[@thomeg492]

Wow thank you so much for sharing this! A fascinating memory.

[@KnittedSister]

A tip from a hand knitter who has worked with yarn on cones many times. (I have a local store that buys in bulk, and sells cheap) If you have the cone standing passively on the table, and pulls the yarn up like you did, the yarn will slowly become either tighter or looser in its twist. (Not native English speaker, sorry for the weird explanation) If you instead had it a bit higher up, and on something that rotates the cone as the yarn is being pulled into the machine, you won't slowly overwind or unwind the yarn. It's probably not a big deal for the socks you have made so far, but if you are going to attempt ribbing, it is REALLY important to get right, otherwise the last knit stiches before the purl will look loose and weird. Unwinding the yarn can also cause the hooks on the machine to have a harder time grabbing the yarn, and will make the final garment less strong.

[@tbelding]

They make spinner stands for the cones. You can also often just have it on a wire post. It's a good idea for _anyone_ that's working with wound products.

[@girlnextdoorgrooming]

The post is called a spool.

[@theexchipmunk]

As somone who studies that stuff, yeah, that is important. Not only can it start to affect how the last row looks. It can also misshape the stocking and impact how the machine morks because depending on what direction you wound the cone in, the yarn will either be would tighter or be unwound.

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

Excellent comment.

[@peepla7]

Take the too big sock, put a loop on the end of it and hang it up as your Christmas stocking so that way it's a useful and constant reminder of your journey, your first sock, your first endeavor into this new Joy and then go ahead and make you two socks that absolutely positively match.

[@daninb8939]

That's such a nice idea?

[@amethystskeels3788]

I'm doing that right now with hand knitting socks I did in 3 weight baby blanket yarn by casting on the same as you should for a sock yarn weight. I didn't really understand how huge of a difference "one size" of yarn would make. I'm only about 5 months into my fiber arts journey and all self taught since the grandmother of mine that used to knit, sew and crochet passed when I was too little to do much more than chain crochet and sit still for more than 10 minutes at a time lol. Machine knitting looks super fun too since you don't have to worry about tension and you can make much smaller thread into socks and such

[@edwardreedy]

My mother made my father a sock that was so large that it rivaled the Christmas stockings. It was supposed to be a sock. It turned out 5 times the size it should have been. It is glorious as a Christmas stocking.

[@peepla7]

@@amethystskeels3788 3 weight is worsted weight. Usually requires a size 7 or a 8 needle. It's important to know gauges and weights that's way when you see any yarn...with or without a label, you will know what needles ( or hook) will be appropriate to use. Baby yarn for example is a 1 if you go by the weight scale....uses a size 1- 3 needle on average most folks use a 3 ... personally...I use a 2 cuz I work loosely. If you know you work loosely or tightly, know your yarn weights and needle sizes....you can plan your projects and patterns to be the correct size every time.

[@elisabethnoorduin8943]

It was fascinating watching the machine at work! It apparently was promoted very heavily as a money-making venture targetted at poor people in the 1900-1920's Netherlands and I once read an article about an older gentleman remembering working with it; his family found it difficult to crank out enough socks to pay for the machine and instead opted for the finishing of socks, also organized by the factory who made the knitting machines. You were supposed to send in your sock tubes, and someone else would finish them, and you got paid by the dozen (not much, I expect). The gentleman had forgotten all that until he found the knitting machine in a box in the attic - with the instructions still in the box. He got it to work again, liked it, and at the time of the article got it out every year to make himself some socks. His machine (from the pictures) looked a bit different from yours; you had to clamp it on the table and it was heavy cast iron.

[@beckyshell4649]

I can only imagine what a wonderful invention these were back in the day when all knitting was done by hand. I bet many socks were made sitting by the fire at night.

[@pansybeson1277]

I am wondering how heel is done. My grandmother had a machine back in 1900. I am thinking that is why so many socks were knitted and sent to soldiers in war. I am from Canada. My niece inherited the machine and has been doing a lot of knitting. She moved away, so I never had the opportunity to see it in operation. I am very excited to see this machine . I am a avid knitter but my age caught up with me. I will certainly subscribe and watch you with happiness in my heart. 🥰

[@highdesertsun3154]

There are a lot of CSM videos of heels online but they are basically made with short rows. Some knit tubes and afterthought the heels and toes. I love my machine, my hands can’t do the tiny needles to hand knit socks.

[@KelseyDrummer]

Hello fellow Canadian! My great grannie had a machine too!

[@damdamfino]

I would imagine it’s with short rows. So instead of completing a full rotation, you go back and forth in a small section to make the heel.

[@stephaniedesmond8329]

@@damdamfino Yes! I have a vintage Victorian CSM, and I've done loads of socks on it, and you can see her doing a heel at 7:00. You can pull a hook all the way up to skip it, so you just essentially pull up half the hooks, then pull up one more hook with each row until you get down to sixteen or so, then push one down for each row until you get to half the hooks again. Then push 'em all down to go back to the regular sock! You're knitting back and forth instead of in the round, so it produces some pattern variation with the variegated yarns, but I've never gotten any complaints about that. Love these machines!

[@MilnaAlen]

Part of the reason for sending socks was probably to prevent trench foot. It was really common and dangerous, and caused by having your feet wet for days on end. It was probably hard to dry socks in the trenches when it wasn't sunny.

[@snowysnowyriver]

Back in the 1950s I can remember evening times, sitting watching my grandmother knit socks. She didn't have a machine so it was all by hand. She used to let me knit some of the straight leg when my knitting became good enough. But I never got the hang of "turning the heel". She used to also knit the most incredible cotton lace work with tiny needles. Amazing woman, with so many skills. Looking at this machine, all I can say is - I want one!

[@applegal3058]

My grandmother could knit socks by hand like no other! One time she was sick, she was rushed to the hospital when she passed out. Mom said she was out cold on the gurney with her hands moving like she was knitting. When you grow up knitting, it's just muscle memory and hardwired. I feel its also partly genetic. Like some people are born to be artists, or mechanics or chefs. The same grandmother was a master in the kitchen. I'm the same way. My other grandmother had infamous bread ..I make bread like her too. So, practice and innate skill combine to perfection. 😊

I've seen videos on CSM's before but they are generally being used by those who've already learned how to use one so I appreciate this video which shows that there is a learning curve. I hadn't realized there were 3D printed machines like this one. They are still expensive, but far less than the $2000+ for even a refurbished cast iron frame one much less a new one. Given the latter were meant for commercial production, I'd imagine one like this would be great for the number a family would need (plus gifts for others). Also, your dog is adorable.

[@anklebiterwoodworks2818]

First time watching your channel (came up in a suggestion because of the 3D printed machine) and I loved the vintage outfits you wore and the vintage art. Always have been a sucker for vintage, mostly from the Art Deco style era but also the Victorian era as well as Steampunk and Diesel-punk. That is such a cool little machine! Love the 3D printed aspect of it. I do subtractive manufacturing with CNC milling and routing and love machines like that. Always fascinated by how engineers of yesterday came up with completely mechanical ways of doing such tasks. Huge fan of vintage machinery restoration channels. So much so that the contrast with my day job (Server Administrator for an Indian Casino) is quite noticeable when people find out. Such contradictions in life have always been a fascination for me. Think Disney's Treasure Planet where the rule was 80% sci-fi space tech and 20% late 1800's technology. I think I may have to show my wife your channel as she is totally in to things like this and does wonderful projects with a similar handmade style where it is a ring with plastic pegs (cannot remember what it is actually called)and a sort of cartoonish hook/needle. Sort of a hand crochet version of knitting in the same fashion as your machine. I even tried my hand at crochet as a child (42M here) and, despite my mother trying, I could make a single chain but could never wrap my head around going the other way for the next column. LOL! At least I could do embroidery and latch-hook well enough. I really love the 3D printed aspect of the CSM as I am a hobby machinist and have built my CNC from scratch and improved on my own over the last several years. Who did you get the CSM through? 3D printing is one aspect I am still itching to get into.
