heh-heh, you're so right on: We won't write the instructions, because we really don't know how to work this thing; we just made it, that's all! Have fun getting to know how to run that thing. You can use it for tubular cast-on? That right there would be worth it to me!
Posted by Norma at May 17, 2005 12:22 PMI reluctantly went over to the dark side a few years ago after 5 years of resistance. But the Swiss workmanship! Passap is great for all those gorgeous, fitted Rowan patterns that are mostly st st on 2-3mm beedles. Read:boring for handknitters such as me that don't complete a hand knit sweater every month! I save the really yummy yarns and the patternwork for my hands.
Check out the PASSAPKnits yahoo group. Fantastic bunch of folks that never tire of answering questions on anything Passap.
Best of luck!

Posted by Lauren at May 17, 2005 03:25 PMyou can really up your production with that thing. of sweaters. too bad you don't wear sweaters. :)
Posted by carolyn at May 17, 2005 03:29 PMI'm as green as that carriage with envy. Man, can I just touch it? a free knitting machine is a good thing.
Posted by Nik at May 17, 2005 07:30 PMI'm so not technically inclined but I know you'll figure it out! Can you do intarsia on it? Now THAT would be worth it! Thanks for the blocking advice. You give me hope ... to carry on. :)
Posted by Kerstin at May 17, 2005 08:47 PMOops, I meant "mechanically inclined." Technically speaking, of course. ;)
Posted by Kerstin at May 17, 2005 08:48 PMIt may be the dark side, but like crochet I'd really like to try one. Nothing like vague instructions...
Posted by Vicki at May 18, 2005 02:05 PMOoo, lucky you! I've wanted to try one of those for some Harry Potter sweaters.
