Addi Knitting Machine

I have been reading up on these machines all day and checking out the prices.
So my hubby came home sick and said he will watch some of the videos another day.

I could get either one of them... but it is such a hard decision to make. Hubby will be on vacation
next week. Well I will know something by Saturday.
