Knitting Garter flashes

[tyger]

Quote KWD: just looked at that machine for $20 and also read the reviews...not on the top of anyones list it seems, All but 1 person said it was crap, and wouldn't ever use it again.

Has anyone had experience working with this machine or something similar?

Some time ago I bought one of those knitting Jenies, and made some ties. Although one could say the project was a succes, I would not do it again.

Biggest beefs:

1. the ties were skinny
2. not all yarns will 'flow' through the machine

Fortunately, I had access to 100 types and colors of yarns (they were scraps from Carol's stash), so my cost was nill. Had I bought yarn, I would have been peeved.
