Do not buy any rusty machine, nor any of a brand that you can not find info about.
Best is to buy a machine that you can test before buying, but if you much post-order or e-bay, go for the machines that have the best on-line documentation and help desk and for a seller with good reputation that is willing to take the machine back if it is not working to your satisfaction.
I have not used circular knitting machines, and I personally would not buy any knitting machine unless I have worked on it myself.

suggestion: try one around needle! Google up "magic loop knitting". Takes a pair rounds to get the grasp of it. As regular, the 1st few rows are toughest basically considering which you're able to verify you at the instant are not turning your sock right into a mobius strip. It has the excellent factor approximately being one much less set of needles flapping around while you knit and additionally you in no way could rigidity approximately knitting directly to the incorrect end. (which happens once you knit the subsequent row with the incorrect needle and all your stitches finally end up on one tousled around needle) See one reference shown below. yet another benefit to this methodology is which you basically could purchase ONE set of around needles rather of two. TIP: basically be certain you purchase 36" a minimum of so which you have sufficient room to hold the stitches conveniently and your stitches do no longer slide into one enormous bunch.
