About knitting machines

 I do not have a knitting machine, and such are expensive. But I was wondering wgat woukd make it comfortable to use. I was thinking of a knitting machine knitting flat maybe decorated pieces of cloth from which to typically make a woolen shirt by sewing the pieces together. 

I was wondering could one leisurely do other things while the machine knits, and then if there us some problem or nedd for adjustments, jyst go and comfortably fix it. So there shoukd be a nice warm clanf like "now it is possible to come and fix these things, kind of to have a handiwork hlbby in practice", and I guess with it a big round somewhat reddish and yelliwish kind of white light saying thst ready for making adjustments. And otherwise it would be more like a somewhat sliwly flashing small white? light as if saying "don't disturb, since I am working", or for example a couple or a few small round white lights maybe in a row saying the same. And if one needs to know that the machibe is on and working, there ought to ve a spotlight on making the area well in sight and easy to work and easy to notice what is what, and no problems in kniwing what the work needs, or whether the machibe is on. And there ought to be enough time to fix things later, or if not needed the machine and lughrs woukd automatically turn off after a time that can be changed by the user, but momentarily and in a lasting way. And it ought to be easy and nice to see how the machine works and what it has produced and how. 

I have noticed that a woolen shirt which has some decoration like knitted holes in it, even though usually also some lifted decoarations, is surprisingly warm and comfortable to wear. Such of a thick airy? kind of plastic, is it polyester or nylon, thread has been warm in the winter under a loose windproof coat that is of somewhat stiff fabric so that there is more air inside, has been good and warm enough ln all weathers demanding a woolen shirt or so. I guess the holes in the loosely knitted fabric cause that air does not glide sideways near the skin, and so the effect is much warmer. But the last few years I have not been outdoors so long times, maybe a few hundred meters to a shop mostly. Anyway, tge solution seems good for those who tend to sweat sometimes outdoors.
