I have a white Featherweight and use one of these. I'm in the US, but maybe the same type is available on your side of the pond?

Also a knitting machine is really nothing like handknitting - there is a steep steep learning curve for setting one up.This! When I first became interested in them, I thought knitting machines were similar to sewing machines in that one machine could be used to knit pretty much any type of garment or item. As it turns out, the machines are made for specfic wool thicknesses. For thin wool (generally sock weight and thinner), one uses a standard gauge 4.5mm machine. For thicker, but not bulky weight wool, a mid gauge (6-7mm), and for the bulky (but not extreme bulky types), a 9mm. There are a range of other gauges, but those are the most common.
The thing with hobbies you tend to throw money at them before you realise it's not for you@Gernella - This is exactly how the local quilt guild got my donation. I had supplies for far more quilts than I would ever make, all because I can't resist colorful fabric prints!
