Silver Reed LK 150 Knitting Machine

The Silver Reed LK 150 — a fabulous knitting machine for beginners!

The LK 150 is the closest machine to hand-knitting. Whilst hand knitting is done on 2 needles, stitch by stitch, it's done row by row on the LK 150 on 150 needles. Why knit with 2 needles, when you can knit with 150 instead?
