I do not have the patience for people clothing, especially since I am an extremely slow hand knitter, so I hand knit doll clothing. I have not mastered seaming yet, so all my doll clothes are unfinished.

Apparently, in my retirement, I still want to be a doll dressmaker.

Anyway, what I am looking at is purchasing a Silver Reed LK150. I have researched the topic over at the knittingparadise forum.

Any experiences, comments? It seems as if machine knitting is a dying hobby, but it does interest me.
