The Knitking KK93 knitting machine is set up and I've done a few sample rows. Everything seems to work, so I think the next step is to pick a simple knitting machine project and make it. It will probably be awhile before I advance to programming it with its punch cards.

@johnefrancis It really does look like some crazy synth or autoharp!

@kyle "during the encore, the keyboard player chopped off all his own fingers and was squirting blood all over! How cool is that man?!?"

😆

@kyle I spent 15m watching some Korean ladies setting one up (in Korean with Korean subtitles)...once they got it going with the punchcards the video suddenly switches to 4x speed and it starts spitting out a nice scarf...pretty neat!

@johnefrancis Yeah I can't wait until I can get to that point. I have an envelope full of punch cards.
