Are there machine knitters here?
Hope to find a small (or big) group to exchange experience 
because machine knitting is handmade too

I’m new to machine knitting, but I’ve taken a few online courses and I have a couple of flat bed machines

If you can get your hands on a complete set, I’d get a used/vintage lk140. The lk150 is still being made today and is the upgraded version, but it’s like $650 new. You should be able to find an lk140 for around $150. I got mine for $30!

I love it! If you’re thinking of going that route, take the machine knitting classes on the Craftsy website… you can get your first year membership for like $2.50 if you Google Craftsy discount membership.
It’s an initial learning curve, but it’s really not too bad. You can make simple things in basic stockinette very quickly and build on those skills over time by learning how to do hand manipulated stitches.
I highly recommend checking out anything by Susan Guagliumi. Her classes on Craftsy are what I learned from.
