Internet Online Groups

KMaholics
This group originated in Belgium (March 2006) and started
with a handful of French-speaking knitters.
It quickly grew into an international board with 157
members as of today (7 October 2006).
All our messages are in both French and English.
Some members translate their own messages and, for the rest,
I translate them myself.
All makes of knitting machines are represented.
Any knitting level, from beginner to expert.
We share our experience and experiments, our problems and
solutions, help each other and try to give as many hints
and tips as we can.
The group is strictly moderated and every member and
message has to be approved. This is because each message
has to be translated but also to avoid nasties reaching
our resources.
We have a database, links, photo albums and files at our
members' disposal.
Please visit, join and enjoy - Loulou

newsletter packed with patterns, tips, and
interesting articles.
Our purpose is to establish a network of local
machine knitters, and machine knitting clubs
to further the craft. We are not affiliated with
any dealership or yarn distributor. We hope this
will lead to sharing of ideas, activities and
promotion of machine knitting locally;
to attract new knitters to our craft,
and give them local support to continue.
Seminars, workshops and get-togethers are
starting to happen in a small way.
We have an annual face to face get together that
grows in size each year.
