It’s 10pm in Japan. This was very therapeutic for my soul. I look at this process and am reminded of how my grandmother, mother, wife, and occasionally my father and grandfather spent time making sweaters, boots, gloves, socks, and so many other things by hand as gifts. I did not give them as much appreciation as I should have, but still felt the warmth then and, for those that survived 32 years, still now. Cheers!

I lost my mom about 12 years ago, my dad about five, all my young life, had sweaters and socks knitted by our mom, I truly appreciate the time living, mom sitting in her chair knitting, and all of us getting the sweaters and such that were the product of the fifties and sixties. Many years I held arms out to "square away the skeins of yarn" as she prepared to knit.

I spent 14 yrs working in sock mills on different types of knitting machines , some circular others reciprocating to make heel/toe socks. Fascinating to watch you make a sock by manually selecting the needles we used jacks, needles and sinkers to make all selected by cams, drops and picks.

I am a machinist and welder, metal smith by trade, and found this oddly interesting. I wear out socks pretty hard, boots and all, have worked on all sorts of factory machinery and this was very interesting, makes me want to make my own socks! Thanks so much for a very interesting video!

At least you get something good from the sock knitting machine; a pair of socks. Handy and practical machine and great skills to have and pass down to future generations. Now, where do I get a machine like that?

I have to say, I hand knit socks during the winters while watching TV. My BF watches YourTube all the time and somehow came across your video and had to show me, letting me know that there was an easier way to make socks (which I find relaxing and satisfying). I immediately was memorized by your CSM and just had to have one. We started an online search, one place had a 3 year wait and another only 7-8 weeks. I am now the proud owner (don't know how to use it 100% just yet) of an Erlebacher Gearhart speadster!! thank you!! I am spending lot of my free time watching more youtube videos like yours with great excitement and anticipation of becoming a crazy sock maker. We now know what everyone is going to get from me as a present, socks with a bottle of meade in one, lol. (I also make wine and meade, along with many other hobbies).

You noted your camera stopped recording for reasons you did not understand. Here's (most likely) why it cut off: DSLR cameras cut off automatically after shooting 29:29 continuous minutes of video. It's programmed in and can't be changed. Camera makers do that in order to avoid the EU tax on video cameras. The EU defines a video camera as a camera that can shoot 30 minutes or more of video. Manufactures do this for all DSLR cameras regardless of where they're sold so they don't have to worry about people trying to evade the tax and causing problems. You've got a nice camera and obviously know how to use it well. So long as you're aware of the 30 minute limitation, it's not too hard to plan around it - though it really sucks when you're trying to record a school play. In those cases, I stop the recording and then start it again during scene changes. This resets the internal "timer", and I can shoot another 29 minutes and 29 seconds of continuous video.

That is fascinating, my grandmother taught me to crotchet because I was super hyper and it calmed me she said I was a machine and good at it but I never made socks, made potholders, blankets and tried a sweater but that machine you use is genius.

SORCERY! BURN THE WITCH! This was greatness. This video reminds me of the time i was astonished to learn how a sewing machine works. Thanks for this!

May mom knitted socks by hand. She learned how to knit when she was a very young girl. It was a necessary thing to learn back then. I remember people would come visit mom when she was knitting socks to learn how she turned the heel. She did it in a different way to most people and it was the preferred way to turn a heel. She said that it made the heels last longer the way she did it. I don’t know anything but the very basics of knitting but the calming sound of knitting needles clicking in the comfort of a warm, wood-heated home are memories I will have forever and treasure.

As an engineer and a knitter, I need this. Or I need to build my own. Good job algorithm!

I was thinking it’s a boring process and it’s more fun with hands But then I saw that perfect sock at the end😍 just perfect

What a magnificent machine! A completely pointless video for me but I watched the entire thing in fascination. There's something utterly amazing about understanding how things work, from simple to complex.

This lady is so wholesome. I love this video. The way she says "this is the fun part" couple times

I've only ever seen knitting done by my late grandmother, my aunts, my mother and my sisters can do it too. I have to admit that I never gave it much thought, but I am a man who likes, among other things, mechanical engineering, and people who know what they are doing. Thank you for the excellent video showcasing your machine and your skills using it!

Amazing, what patience you must have, so glad there are people like you keeping the old crafts alive...

That is truly an art form channeled through mechanics. Thank you for sharing! Hope we don't loose these skills.

What a lucky girl to get ahold of a machine like that. Seems like it's all there and working. Your socks are great. I have yet to try to make socks, and I'm probably not going to get a machine, so I have to try making some with dlps. Thanks for showing us how this works.

I have no idea how I got this video to pop up on my feed, but after watching, I am amazed at this machine and this lady's skill. Your voice is so soothing, and the video is hypnotic. I have no intention of ever making socks or knitting anything else, but this is a great video and your skills are outstanding. Cheers. Hope those socks go to someone who would appreciate your hard work.

Karim Jundi I agree 1000%, but she and the video and the process is so soothing and inspiring, it makes me want to knit my own socks!!! She did and amazing job, not only of making the sock but also of explaining what and why she was doing and then Walla there was a complete sock!!! I love it!!!

I can feel the love you put into making these socks and enjoyed very much the entire process. Respect from California.

That's bloody impressive, been wondering for some time how they were done as I am found of socks, have a little collection of maybe 8 types but could never really wrap my head around how would be the process, thanks a lot!

I wish somebody made a database of all these people who will be able to keep us alive after the apocalypse.

a video on how to make a computer to watch the video databases isn't going to be too helpful if everything is gone. maybe we should be backing everything up in a form that's accessible to humans without technology, like books.

@@meadowlark22 I mean, generating power is the easy part. But the roadmap to getting down the tech tree like that is fairly well defined so I wouldn't worry about that.

I had no idea something like this existed. What a thrill to watch!

whoever made auto knitter is actually a creative genius.

My feet suddenly do not “feel” as warm as those socks make my feet wish they “felt”. I totally want to find you on Etsy and order a pair! That would make me smile.

The thought of making my own goofy socks in endless variation is tickling my brain. Thank you. I'm buying a sock machine!

I used to work on those machines 50 years ago

Tell me more about them! Did you make stuff on them, construct them yourself? What else could be made with these excellent machines?

Thank you. I've yet to purchase a CSM, but have been watching KZread non stop. Your video, by far, is the one that I have found to be the easiest to follow.

I grew up with the macho man education, and I never knitted anything, but seeing this for some reason is very relaxing for me, and the mechanics of this beautiful machine is amazing.

and I thought threading my sewing machine was complicated - genius machine

What an incredible machine! I love it! And the thought that someone had sat and designed it in the first place knocks the socks off of me! Brilliant 😀

This is exactly what I have been looking for! How to make the heel and toe! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I love wool socks, but they take so long to make. I have just now ordered a csm for socks. I love the fiddly bits of picking the stitches and placing on the needles, so this seems like a lot of fun.

I use to have a trico factory and you bring back to me all the sweet memories when my dad was teaching me all about the machines ❤️🥺🌸 thank you you are so sweet

I can not believe that I've lived til this day without knowing of the very existence of such a magical wonderful machine!!! just WOOOOOOW!!!!

What a fantastic machine! Beautifully made and it even sounds nice when operated - so smooth. I bet it's head-and-shoulders above the modern equivalents. Thank you for making this video and sharing such a wonderful device with us.

I watched every minute of the video. A very clear explanation of each step. Thank you, EhKay!

I would never think that watching someone make a sock with an old sock-making machine could be so fascinating! Am I just easily entertained? Me and about 50K others, I guess. Great socks! Do you sell them somewhere?

The sound of the machine clicking clanking and turning reminds me of that crazy machine your eye doctor uses to test your eyes and prescription strength. I kept expecting to hear "number one...or number two?...one....or two?"

I just loved the video. My grand grandmother had one. I still have some clothes she did to my grandmother. Just awesome.

I love this video! I have my great, great grandmothers knitting machine and you taught me how to use it. I've watched you about a hundred times. Thank you!

NZAK (New Zealand Automatic Knitting) still makes these machines, as well as replacement parts for the older machines.

I have never seen one of these before. I am amazed and hypnotized by this contraption.

watched the whole thing. never knitted anything in my life, nor will i ever, but i was spellbound by that video.
