    Candy, thank you so much for your excellent video tutorials. I watch them over and over, even though I don’t yet own a CSM! I would like to know your impressions, thoughts, etc., about the LT150. I see you have one in your most recent vids. I like the versatility and features of the new LT150, and it looks to be a well designed CSM. Do you have any concerns about parts of the machine that appear plastic? Do you think these parts will need to be replaced over time? I love your antique Tuttle-its a beauty!

    There is a new Tuttle type CSM on the market. It is called the LT150. Made by the same knitting machine manufacturer, Lamb Co. in Ma. Look for the Lamb web site to find the most recent information. It is has a rotating cylinder and cone ribber like the original Tuttle made in 1878 though thoroughly modern in its precision. It is the only CSM on the market to knit with 2-yarns in one row; offering an endless list of design possibilities. You can get more information by calling the Lamb Knitting Machine co at 413-592-2501. Crank with joy,

    Howdy Elinor, the point is that a great sock can be made on a CSM in less than an hour. A cast on sack would only be used to start the first sock then 10 rows of waste yarn would be between a completed sock and the start of the next. Several pair of socks can be made this way and the cast on sack was only used to get the first sock started. You can discover more about the other things I make on a CSM at my Colorado Cranker blog. This fall I am cranking out WingSpan scarfs! Candy

    A cast on sack is a reusable tool; the loops are hung on every other needle of a sock machine and 15 rows of waste yarn gets knitting started. It takes about 8 minutes to do this. Not long even if you do it for each sock. A sock takes about 30-50 minutes to make. But traditionally , a cast on sack would only be used to start the first sock then 10 rows of waste yarn would be between a completed sock and the start of the next. In 1900's workers produced a pair of socks every 40 minutes.

    It seems a great deal simpler to use double-pointed needles in the usual manner. I'm not entirely seeing the point of knitting half a sock just to get started before you can even cast on to knit the sock itself.

    The only sock cranking machine made today is called the Erlbacher Gearhart made in the state of Missouri. I wrote much of the manual for the new machine and also produced 12 videos for its use. You can view them and many other videos for the new Erl on the erlbachergearhart youtube channel. Be sure to go to the ErlbacherGearhart to order your new CSM on line.

    Regarding the different tools I use and where you can purchase them or make them yourself. I have Candy's Colorado Cranker Blog blog at TheColoradoCranker that may help. If you need some tools quickly, check with the NEW CSM Erlbacher Gearhart as they may have what you need. We are retired and often on the road so for CSM questions it is best to email me the coloradocranker at icloud dot com I hope this helps you on your CSM Journey.

    The sock machine used in making the Cast-On-Sack was an old Master Machine made in 1924. These unique machines won't attach to a table. They only work with the 3-legs made for it. If you see one for sale laying on its side and no legs in sight; it is important to know you will need to have new legs made for it. This is the best CSM for folks with limited space who want to sit on their couch to crank socks. It sits lower than any other machine out there. Good machine to take to crank-ins.

    How many slots is the cylinder in the video, and how many needles are at the heel turn, going from the decrease to the one-up, two down increase? I'm using a 64 slot cyl., and usually turn at 12 needles. I'm new to the one-up, two-down and just a little confused at that point in the toe/heel. Thanks. Great videos.

    The manuals have directions for many knitted garments; especially for young children. Hats, scarfs, baby layettes and leggings as well as sweaters and ribbed cuffs for coats. Most of these garments and patterns were made from flat pieces, cranked out on the machine then hand stitched together all just to keep warm. Consider that before 1930, all travelers were exposed to winter cold when walking, riding a horse, or in a carriage and cars did not have reliable heaters until the late 1930's.

    Congratulations on your Erl, I find that mine is a fun and reliable cranker. When you use the 54/36 you have two options that I know of. One is to cast on with waste yarn, then do a 2 row hem, then immediately set ribber on, transfer the 1x2 and start ribbing. The other option is to adjust your dial so all the ribber dial slots are off set between the cylinder slots. That way you can do the traditional Gearhart ribber cast on. Check with Jamie Erlbacher and see if she has tried this. CT

    My Erlbacher Gearhart works well and is far less finicky than any of my antiques. If the most important part of your first CSM is to learn to crank socks with ease, then the new Erl would be my recommendation. The Erl will work well right out of the box and you have Free Videos, Ravelry and a great Manuel for help. I might add that Erl users are truly kind & friendly folk just like the Erlbacher family that makes them. The Colorado Cranker

    I love my Tuttle but I consider my Erl to be a durable and reliable. It is my choice to take on the road to local gatherings. The after sale support provided by the Erlbachers is excellent. There are many training videos at the Erlbachergearhart channel and if you need more one-on-one there is a Ravelry group just for the Erl. If you still are unsure or want help to find a good machine you are welcome to email me at [email protected].

    Hank and I have often commented on how much better the Tuttle was cast and machined back in 1880s. Its competitor, Franz & Pope, is made just as well. To complicate the picture more, Richard and Robertson Creelman, who made all of our Legare 400s and the Money Maker Series of CSMs, also made the Tuttle and the Franz & Pope. Are all the 400's just very worn from making 1000s of socks in some factory? Or over time, did the demand for more CSMs after 1900 reduce their quality?
