It turns out that after a few hours she decided it wasn't for her. The machine is practically new and in it's original box. Includes all manuals, accessories, some extra books, a can of "knitting machine lube" and the optional stand. Here's a description of the machine:Silver Reed's SK 160 is the newest knitting machine and the first of its kind anywhere! With a 6.5mm needle pitch, the SK 160 is designed to work with all the yarns typically used by hand knitters. By knitting yarns that fall in the top range for a standard gauge machine and in the lower range for a chunky machine, this machine can deliver the best of both worlds.This Mid Gauge Manual Knitting machine offers the same bed as the SK 860 with a non patterning Intarsia carriage. The SK 160 allows you to start with a basic machine that you will never out grow because it grows with you. Learn the basic operation of the machine then add the optional Electronic Carriage and software when you are ready, to upgrade this machine to a SK 860.Your imagination is the only limit. This machine knits fingering, sport and worsted weight yarns with ease. Using every other needle you can also knit light bulky weight yarn. Excellent choice for the beautiful novelty fur yarns.Needle Pitch:6.5 mm (3.9gauge)Number of Needles:150 needlesPattern Size: Standard:60 stitches wide X 150 rows longNet Weight:15.5 kg  (34.1 lbs)Dimensions (L x W x H): 1160 x 225 x 90mm  Stitch types include:  Stockinet, Fairisle, Tuck, Slip, Punch Lace, Motif , Weaving, Plating, and many more.This machine with the stand originally cost over  $900.This is all pretty heavy - the machine is about 50 pounds, while the stand is another 10 or so.
