Join me as I knit a sock on my build of the 3D-printed circular sock machine (CSM) by difl/JeepingJohnny: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5276234
When building the machine I incorporated several tips, remixes, and accessories by Gerri Baggett (gebsews), including the yarn mast (I broke part of mine so it's looking a little worse for wear but still very effective): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4708039
See Gerri's related videos here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhk0ivh_kNMD7SLX1FxXH9QsMMZZgSPE9&si=WZ4kKpbDO5TVBfJA
CORRECTION: In the video I incorrectly stated that the weight buckle was also designed by Gerri, but it looks like I may have actually just *discovered* it through her page; the original maker appears to be Chris Bray: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4572159 Sorry for the confusion!
The tips, techniques, and opinions I described in this video came together through many hours of practice, but I owe a lot of what I know to even more hours of insomnia-bingeing just about every circular sock machine crank-along tutorial I could find. Creators whose work I found particularly helpful in this journey include:
