Since my last little throwaway video of my CMS knitting was so shockingly popular - and this yarn I dyed yesterday was so colorful I decided to turn on my camera and get a bit more footage of the machine in action. 00:00 - Start knitting 00:44 - Raise Weight (not 100% necessary but I like to keep it up higher) 01:18 - Slower knitting so you can see what's happening a little better 02:14 - end of 115 rows for the leg - start heel 02:41 - Off screen - engaging heel spring to keep tension on the yarn 02:55 - Adding heel weights - then start decreasing for the heel 04:54 - Start lowering needles back into work to increase on the other side of the heel 07:10 - Last needles lowered, yarn is looped around them and the neighboring needle to prevent a hole in the heel. 07:42 - Last needle lowered back into work - now lower the rest of the needles to start doing rows again 08:04 - Oops, missed a latch that closed on one of the needles and caused a stitch to drop - let's repair that quickly 09:36 - Dropped stitch repaired - let's keep cranking! 10:02 - After about 15 rows I can remove the heel weights and raise my main weight 11:24 - Start the tow- same process as the heel except I don't double wrap the last needles on the increases. 17:14 - Adding stitch markers on the last stitches so I can find them to close the toe off the machine 18:40 - Cut the yarn and leave a tail for binding off - then bring in the waste yarn that will keep the stitches from unraveling. 19:42 - watch close...oops...the very last stitch failed. I'll fix that later when I close the toe...I hope. 20:00 - pickup the dropped stitch as waste yarn...and then crank the waste rows 20:20 - Out of yarn - the sock just falls off as I finish the last row of waste 21:00 - Finished section of sock! As before - I did not design this machine - but the files are available if you want to print one yourself here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4695746 This is just raw video of the machine knitting.
