Default Question about machine knitting magazines or books...

Hi everyone,
I haven't been here in quite a while. Once in a while I stop by and skim the
messages.
I asked for help way back I think in October of 2005 when I started knitting
and you
all helped me so much. I think I've popped in a few times to write in since
then but can't remember.
You can check my knitting folder at my link and see photos of how my
knitting is coming along if you want. )
A friend may be giving me an Incredible Sweater Machine and I want to learn
all I can
before and if I get it.
I've read the reports from different sites and many had trouble learning
these machines.
I think I have some of what there problems were figured out through videos I
found and
articles but not sure until I lay hands on one.
Would any of you have any knitting magazines or books laying around that you
don't use?
Thanks,
Susie in northern NY

I have but I think that different machines sometimes have different
instructions and techniques. I've had three machines and I had to
re-learn every time -never heard of an Incredible Sweater Machine
though.

Mary, the ISM, and the USM are BOND's, if that helps.

Welcome back, Susie!
I HAD a Bond machine, and replaced it with my much loved Artisan
machine.
There's a yahell group specifically for bond machines, and there's a NG
for machine knitters, but they're not very active there.
HTH,
Noreen

Mary,
What machines did you have?
Actually it is made by Bond and called the Ultimate Sweater Machine.
I'm trying to learn all I can before I get it.
Thanks for getting back to me.

Hi Noreen,
Thanks for the welcome back.
I hope you are enjoying your Artisan machine.
I found the yahoo group but I can't seem to find the NG for it. Is
it on another server?
Thanks,

Hugs,
